¹⁵⁰ Those who deny God and His messengers and wish to make a distinction between God and His messengers, and say: “We believe in¹ some and deny some,” and wish to choose a path in-between:²

¹⁵¹ It is they who are the false claimers of guidance¹ in truth;² and We have prepared for the false claimers of guidance³ a humiliating punishment.

¹⁵² And those who believe in¹ God and His messengers and make not a distinction between any of them, those will God give their rewards; and God is forgiving and merciful.

¹⁵³ The doctors of the Law¹ ask thee to bring down upon them a Writ² from the sky; and they asked of Moses greater than that; they said: “Show thou us God openly”; so the thunderbolt seized them for their injustice. Then took they up the calf after clear signs had come to them, and We pardoned that; and We gave Moses a clear authority.

¹⁵⁴ And We raised above them the mount¹ for their agreement; and We said to them: “Enter the gate in submission”;² and We said to them: “Transgress not the Sabbath”; and We took from them a stern agreement.

¹⁵⁵ So,¹ because of their violation of their agreement, and their denial of the proofs² of God, and their killing of the prophets without cause,³ and their saying: “Our hearts are covered,” — nay,⁴ God sealed them for their denial, so they do not believe⁵ save a few —

¹⁵⁶ And because of their denial, and their saying against Mary¹ a tremendous calumny,

¹⁵⁷ And for their saying: “We killed the Messiah,¹ Jesus,² son of Mary,³ the messenger of God,” — and they killed him not nor crucified⁴ him, but it seemed so⁵ to them; and those who dispute concerning it are in doubt thereof, no knowledge have they thereof save the pursuit of conjecture — and they killed him not of a certainty;

¹⁵⁸ (Nay,¹ God brought it² before Him;³ and God is exalted in might and wise.

¹⁵⁹ And there is no¹ doctor of the Law² save will believe therein³ before his⁴ death; and on the Day of Resurrection it⁵ will be witness against them.)

¹⁶⁰ So,¹ for injustice among those who hold to Judaism,² We made unlawful to them good things which had been lawful to them, and for their turning away from the path of God much,

¹⁶¹ And for their taking of usury when they had been forbidden it, and their consuming the wealth of men in vanity; and We have prepared for the false claimers of guidance¹ among them a painful punishment.

¹⁶² But those firm in knowledge¹ and the believers² among them believe in³ what is sent down⁴ to thee, and what was sent down before thee,⁵ as do⁶ the upholders of the duty,⁷ and the renderers of the purity,⁸ and the believers in God and the Last Day⁹ — those will We give a great reward.

¹⁶³ We have revealed¹ to thee as We revealed² to Noah and the prophets after him, and We revealed³ to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, and Jacob and the Grandsons,⁴ and Jesus⁵ and Job⁶ and Jonah⁷ and Aaron and Solomon, and We gave David writings,⁸

¹⁶⁴ And messengers We have related to thee before, and messengers We have not related to thee, — and God spoke to Moses with speech —

¹⁶⁵ Messengers as bearers of glad tidings and warners, that men might have no argument¹ against God after the messengers; and God is exalted in might and wise.

¹⁶⁶ But God bears witness to what He has sent down to thee: He sent it down with His knowledge;¹ and the angels bear witness, but sufficient is God as witness.²

¹⁶⁷ Those who ignore warning¹ and turn away from² the path of God have strayed into far error.

¹⁶⁸ Those who ignore warning¹ and do wrong — God will not forgive them, nor will He guide them on a road

¹⁶⁹ Save the road to Gehenna,¹ they abiding eternally therein forever; and that is easy for² God.

¹⁷⁰ O mankind: the Messenger has come to you with the truth¹ from your Lord; so believe, it is better for you. And if you deny, to God belongs what is in the heavens and the earth; and God is knowing and wise.

¹⁷¹ O doctors of the Law:¹ exceed not bounds in your doctrine,² nor ascribe to God save the truth.³ The Messiah,⁴ Jesus,⁵ son of Mary⁶ was only the messenger of God, and His word which He conveyed to Mary,⁷ and a spirit from Him. So believe in⁸ God and His messengers, and say not: “Three.” Desist; it is best for you. God is but One God. Glory⁹ be to Him that He should have a son! To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; and God is sufficient as disposer of affairs.¹⁰

¹⁷² The Messiah¹ would not disdain to be a servant to God, nor would the angels brought near; and whoso disdains His service and waxes proud, He will gather them to Him all together.

¹⁷³ Then as for those who heed warning¹ and do righteous deeds: He will give them their rewards in full, and increase them out of His bounty; and as for those who disdain and wax proud: He will punish them with a painful punishment; and they will not find for them, besides² God, ally or helper.

¹⁷⁴ O mankind: there has come to you evidence from your Lord; and We have sent down to you a clear light.

¹⁷⁵ Then as for those who believe in¹ God and hold fast to Him: He will make them enter into mercy from Him, and bounty; and He will guide them to Him by a straight path.²

¹⁷⁶ They ask thee for a ruling. Say thou: “God gives you the ruling¹ concerning those without an immediate heir:² if a man perishes without a child but has a sister: for her is half of what he left, and he inherits from her if she has not a child. But if there are two females: for them is two-thirds of what he left. And if they are brethren, men and women: for the male is the like of the share of two females.” And God makes plain³ to you lest you go astray; and God knows all things.
