وَإِذَاAnd whenجَآءُوكُمْthey come to youقَالُوٓا۟they sayءَامَنَّاWe believeوَقَدBut certainlyدَّخَلُوا۟they enteredبِٱلْكُفْرِwith disbeliefوَهُمْand theyقَدْcertainlyخَرَجُوا۟went outبِهِۦwith itوَٱللَّهُAnd Allahأَعْلَمُknows bestبِمَا[of] whatكَانُوا۟they wereيَكْتُمُونَhiding﴿٦١﴾

And when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it. And Allah is most knowing of what they were concealing

And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devouring of [what is] unlawful. How wretched is what they have been doing

لَوْلَاWhy (do) notيَنْهَىٰهُمُforbid themٱلرَّبَّٰنِيُّونَthe Rabbisوَٱلْأَحْبَارُand the religious scholarsعَنfromقَوْلِهِمُtheir sayingٱلْإِثْمَthe sinfulوَأَكْلِهِمُand their eatingٱلسُّحْتَ(of) the forbiddenلَبِئْسَSurely, evilمَا(is) whatكَانُوا۟they used toيَصْنَعُونَdo﴿٦٣﴾

Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing

And the Jews say, "The hand of Allah is chained." Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allah extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allah does not like corrupters

وَلَوْAnd ifأَنَّthatأَهْلَ(the) Peopleٱلْكِتَٰبِ(of) the Bookءَامَنُوا۟(had) believedوَٱتَّقَوْا۟and feared (Allah)لَكَفَّرْنَاsurely We (would have) removedعَنْهُمْfrom themسَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْtheir evil (deeds)وَلَأَدْخَلْنَٰهُمْand surely We (would have) admitted themجَنَّٰتِ(to) Gardensٱلنَّعِيمِ(of) Bliss﴿٦٥﴾

And if only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared Allah, We would have removed from them their misdeeds and admitted them to Gardens of Pleasure

وَلَوْAnd ifأَنَّهُمْthat theyأَقَامُوا۟had stood firmlyٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ(by) the Tauratوَٱلْإِنجِيلَand the Injeelوَمَآand whatأُنزِلَwas revealedإِلَيْهِمto themمِّنfromرَّبِّهِمْtheir Lordلَأَكَلُوا۟surely they (would have) eatenمِنfromفَوْقِهِمْabove themوَمِنand fromتَحْتِbeneathأَرْجُلِهِمtheir feetمِّنْهُمْAmong themأُمَّةٌ(is) a communityمُّقْتَصِدَةٌmoderateوَكَثِيرٌbut manyمِّنْهُمْof them سَآءَevilمَا(is) whatيَعْمَلُونَthey do﴿٦٦﴾

And if only they upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them are a moderate community, but many of them - evil is that which they do

O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people

Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people

إِنَّIndeedٱلَّذِينَthose whoءَامَنُوا۟believedوَٱلَّذِينَand those whoهَادُوا۟became Jewsوَٱلصَّٰبِـُٔونَand the Sabiansوَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰand the Christiansمَنْwhoeverءَامَنَbelievedبِٱللَّهِin Allahوَٱلْيَوْمِand the Dayٱلْءَاخِرِthe Lastوَعَمِلَand didصَٰلِحًاgood deedsفَلَاthen noخَوْفٌfearعَلَيْهِمْon themوَلَاand notهُمْtheyيَحْزَنُونَwill grieve﴿٦٩﴾

Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muhammad] and those [before Him] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve

لَقَدْCertainlyأَخَذْنَاWe tookمِيثَٰقَa Covenantبَنِىٓ(from the) Childrenإِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ(of) Israelوَأَرْسَلْنَآand We sentإِلَيْهِمْto themرُسُلًاMessengersكُلَّمَاWheneverجَآءَهُمْcame to themرَسُولٌۢany Messengerبِمَاwith whatلَاnotتَهْوَىٰٓdesiredأَنفُسُهُمْtheir soulsفَرِيقًاa groupكَذَّبُوا۟they deniedوَفَرِيقًاand a groupيَقْتُلُونَthey kill﴿٧٠﴾

We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed

And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allah turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is Seeing of what they do

They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers

They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment

The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded
