¹⁰⁰ His authority is but over those who take him for ally and those who ascribe a partnership¹ to him.²)

¹⁰¹ And when¹ We change² by a proof³ the place of a proof;⁴ and God best knows what He sends down.⁵ They say: “Thou art but inventing.”⁶ The truth is,⁷ most of them know not.

¹⁰² Say thou: “The Spirit of Holiness brought it down from thy Lord in truth,¹ that it might strengthen those who heed warning,² and as guidance and glad tidings for those submitting.”³

¹⁰³ And We know that they say: “A man¹ but teaches him.” The tongue to which they incline is foreign, but this is a clear Arabic tongue.

¹⁰⁴ Those who believe not in¹ the proofs² of God: God will not guide them, and they have a painful punishment

¹⁰⁵ — They but invent lies¹ who believe not in² the proofs³ of God — and it is they who are the liars.

¹⁰⁶ Whoso denies God after his faith[...]¹ — save he who is compelled thereto but whose heart finds rest in faith; but whoso expands his breast to denial, upon them is wrath from God; and they have a great punishment.

¹⁰⁷ Is it not that¹ they chose the life of this world over the Hereafter, and that God guides not the people of the false claimers of guidance!²

¹⁰⁸ Those are they whose hearts God has sealed, and their hearing and their sight; and it is they who are the heedless;

¹⁰⁹ Without doubt, in the Hereafter they are the losers.

¹¹⁰ Then thy Lord — to those who emigrate after they are subjected to means of denial,¹ then strive and are patient — thy Lord, after that, is forgiving and merciful²

¹¹¹ The day every soul comes pleading for itself, and every soul is repaid in full for what it did; and they will not be wronged.

¹¹² And God strikes a similitude: — a city secure, at peace, its provision coming to it in abundance from every side; but it denied the favours of God, then God let it taste the cloak¹ of hunger and fear because of what they wrought.

¹¹³ And a messenger from among them had come to them, then they denied him;¹ then the punishment took them while they were wrongdoers.²

¹¹⁴ So eat of what God has provided you, lawful and good; and be grateful for the favour of your Lord if it be Him you serve.

¹¹⁵ He has but made unlawful to you carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that dedicated to other than God; but whoso is forced, neither desiring nor transgressing: God is forgiving and merciful.

¹¹⁶ And add¹ not to what your tongues describe the lie: “This is lawful, and this is unlawful,”² to invent lies³ about God; those who invent lies⁴ about God will not succeed:

¹¹⁷ A brief enjoyment, and they have a painful punishment.

¹¹⁸ And to those who hold to Judaism¹ We made unlawful what We related to thee before; and We wronged them not, but they wronged their souls.

¹¹⁹ Then thy Lord — to those who did evil through ignorance then repented after that and made right — thy Lord, after that,¹ is forgiving and merciful.

¹²⁰ Abraham was a leader,¹ humbly obedient to God, inclining to truth;² and he was not of the idolaters:³

¹²¹ One grateful for His favours; He chose him, and guided him to a straight path.

¹²² And We gave him good in the World, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

¹²³ Then We instructed¹ thee: “Follow thou the creed of Abraham, inclining to truth;² and he was not of the idolaters.”³

¹²⁴ The Sabbath was only appointed for those who differed concerning it;¹ and thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differed.

¹²⁵ Invite thou to the path of thy Lord with wisdom¹ and comely admonition, and dispute thou with them with that which is best. Thy Lord, He best knows him who strays from His path; and He best knows the guided.

¹²⁶ And if you retaliate,¹ then retaliate with the like of that wherewith you are harmed; but if you are patient, it is better for the patient.

¹²⁷ And be thou patient; and thy patience is only through God. And grieve thou not over them, nor be thou in distress over what they scheme.

¹²⁸ God is with those of prudent fear,¹ and those who are doers of good.
