يَسأَلُكَ أَهلُ الكِتابِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيهِم كِتابًا مِنَ السَّماءِ ۚ فَقَد سَأَلوا موسىٰ أَكبَرَ مِن ذٰلِكَ فَقالوا أَرِنَا اللَّهَ جَهرَةً فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الصّاعِقَةُ بِظُلمِهِم ۚ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذُوا العِجلَ مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَتهُمُ البَيِّناتُ فَعَفَونا عَن ذٰلِكَ ۚ وَآتَينا موسىٰ سُلطانًا مُبينًا

The People of the Scripture demand that you send down upon them a book from the heavens. They demanded even more of Moses, saying, “Show us God visibly.” A thunderbolt struck them for their audacity. Then, they worshiped the calf even after clear signs had come to them. Still, We forgave them. Furthermore, We granted Moses evident authority.

وَرَفَعنا فَوقَهُمُ الطّورَ بِميثاقِهِم وَقُلنا لَهُمُ ادخُلُوا البابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُلنا لَهُم لا تَعدوا فِي السَّبتِ وَأَخَذنا مِنهُم ميثاقًا غَليظًا

We held the mountain over them as a testament to their covenant, and We commanded them, “Enter the gate humbly.” We also commanded: “Violate not the Sabbath”, and We took a solemn pledge from them.

فَبِما نَقضِهِم ميثاقَهُم وَكُفرِهِم بِآياتِ اللَّهِ وَقَتلِهِمُ الأَنبِياءَ بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ وَقَولِهِم قُلوبُنا غُلفٌ ۚ بَل طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيها بِكُفرِهِم فَلا يُؤمِنونَ إِلّا قَليلًا

Yet, they broke their pledge, denied God’s revelations, unjustly killed the prophets, and said, “Our hearts are sealed.” God sealed them due to their disbelief, so they believe only a little.

وَبِكُفرِهِم وَقَولِهِم عَلىٰ مَريَمَ بُهتانًا عَظيمًا

They disbelieved and said a grave false charge against Mary.

وَقَولِهِم إِنّا قَتَلنَا المَسيحَ عيسَى ابنَ مَريَمَ رَسولَ اللَّهِ وَما قَتَلوهُ وَما صَلَبوهُ وَلـٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُم ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذينَ اختَلَفوا فيهِ لَفي شَكٍّ مِنهُ ۚ ما لَهُم بِهِ مِن عِلمٍ إِلَّا اتِّباعَ الظَّنِّ ۚ وَما قَتَلوهُ يَقينًا

And they declared, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God.” Yet, in reality, they neither killed nor crucified him—but it was made to appear to them so. Those who argue this are full of doubts, lacking any definitive knowledge, and relying solely on conjecture. Certainly, they didn’t kill him.

وَإِن مِن أَهلِ الكِتابِ إِلّا لَيُؤمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبلَ مَوتِهِ ۖ وَيَومَ القِيامَةِ يَكونُ عَلَيهِم شَهيدًا

There are none of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection, he will bear witness against them.

فَبِظُلمٍ مِنَ الَّذينَ هادوا حَرَّمنا عَلَيهِم طَيِّباتٍ أُحِلَّت لَهُم وَبِصَدِّهِم عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ كَثيرًا

For the wrongdoings of the Jews and their frequent straying from God’s path, We prohibited them from certain good things that were previously allowed.

وَأَخذِهِمُ الرِّبا وَقَد نُهوا عَنهُ وَأَكلِهِم أَموالَ النّاسِ بِالباطِلِ ۚ وَأَعتَدنا لِلكافِرينَ مِنهُم عَذابًا أَليمًا

And for their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and unjustly consuming people’s wealth. We prepared a severe punishment for those who persist in disbelief.

لـٰكِنِ الرّاسِخونَ فِي العِلمِ مِنهُم وَالمُؤمِنونَ يُؤمِنونَ بِما أُنزِلَ إِلَيكَ وَما أُنزِلَ مِن قَبلِكَ ۚ وَالمُقيمينَ الصَّلاةَ ۚ وَالمُؤتونَ الزَّكاةَ وَالمُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ أُولـٰئِكَ سَنُؤتيهِم أَجرًا عَظيمًا

But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what was revealed to you and what was revealed before you. Those who perform prayers, give charity and believe in God and the Last Day—upon them, We will bestow a great reward.

إِنّا أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ كَما أَوحَينا إِلىٰ نوحٍ وَالنَّبِيّينَ مِن بَعدِهِ ۚ وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ إِبراهيمَ وَإِسماعيلَ وَإِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ وَالأَسباطِ وَعيسىٰ وَأَيّوبَ وَيونُسَ وَهارونَ وَسُلَيمانَ ۚ وَآتَينا داوودَ زَبورًا

We revealed to you, as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. We also revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Tribes, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And to David, We gave the Psalms.
