هَـٰٓأَنتُمْ Here you are هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ those who حَـٰجَجْتُمْ argued فِيمَا about what لَكُم [for] you بِهِۦ of it عِلْمٌۭ (have some) knowledge فَلِمَ Then why تُحَآجُّونَ (do) you argue فِيمَا about what لَيْسَ not لَكُم for you بِهِۦ of it عِلْمٌۭ ۚ (any) knowledge وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَعْلَمُ knows وَأَنتُمْ while you لَا (do) not تَعْلَمُونَ know ٦٦

مَا Not كَانَ was إِبْرَٰهِيمُ Ibrahim يَهُودِيًّۭا a Jew وَلَا and not نَصْرَانِيًّۭا a Christian وَلَـٰكِن [and] but كَانَ he was حَنِيفًۭا a true مُّسْلِمًۭا Muslim وَمَا and not كَانَ he was مِنَ from ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ the polytheists ٦٧

إِنَّ Indeed أَوْلَى the best to claim relationship ٱلنَّاسِ (of) people بِإِبْرَٰهِيمَ with Ibrahim لَلَّذِينَ (are) those who ٱتَّبَعُوهُ follow him وَهَـٰذَا and this ٱلنَّبِىُّ [the] Prophet وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who ءَامَنُوا۟ ۗ believe[d] وَٱللَّهُ And Allah وَلِىُّ (is) a Guardian ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (of) the believers ٦٨

وَدَّت Wished طَّآئِفَةٌۭ a group مِّنْ from أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لَوْ if يُضِلُّونَكُمْ they could lead you astray وَمَا and not يُضِلُّونَ they lead astray إِلَّآ except أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves وَمَا and not يَشْعُرُونَ they perceive ٦٩

يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لِمَ Why do تَكْفُرُونَ you deny بِـَٔايَـٰتِ [in] the Signs ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَأَنتُمْ while you تَشْهَدُونَ bear witness ٧٠

يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book لِمَ Why تَلْبِسُونَ do you mix ٱلْحَقَّ the truth بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ with the falsehood وَتَكْتُمُونَ and conceal ٱلْحَقَّ the truth وَأَنتُمْ while you تَعْلَمُونَ know ٧١

وَقَالَت And said طَّآئِفَةٌۭ a group مِّنْ of أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book ءَامِنُوا۟ Believe بِٱلَّذِىٓ in what أُنزِلَ was revealed عَلَى on ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] وَجْهَ (at the) beginning ٱلنَّهَارِ (of) the day وَٱكْفُرُوٓا۟ and reject ءَاخِرَهُۥ (at) its end لَعَلَّهُمْ perhaps they may يَرْجِعُونَ return ٧٢

وَلَا And (do) not تُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ believe إِلَّا except لِمَن (the one) who تَبِعَ follows دِينَكُمْ your religion قُلْ Say إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْهُدَىٰ the (true) guidance هُدَى (is the) Guidance ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَن lest يُؤْتَىٰٓ is given أَحَدٌۭ (to) one مِّثْلَ (the) like مَآ (of) what أُوتِيتُمْ was given to you أَوْ or يُحَآجُّوكُمْ they may argue with you عِندَ near رَبِّكُمْ ۗ your Lord قُلْ Say إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْفَضْلَ the Bounty بِيَدِ (is) in the Hand ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يُؤْتِيهِ He gives it مَن (to) whom يَشَآءُ ۗ He wills وَٱللَّهُ and Allah وَٰسِعٌ (is) All-Encompassing عَلِيمٌۭ All-Knowing ٧٣

يَخْتَصُّ He chooses بِرَحْمَتِهِۦ for His Mercy مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۗ He wills وَٱللَّهُ And Allah ذُو (is) the Possessor ٱلْفَضْلِ (of) Bounty ٱلْعَظِيمِ [the] great ٧٤

۞ وَمِنْ And from أَهْلِ (the) People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book مَنْ (is he) who إِن if تَأْمَنْهُ you entrust him بِقِنطَارٍۢ with a great amount of wealth يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ he will return it إِلَيْكَ to you وَمِنْهُم And from them مَّنْ (is he) who إِن if تَأْمَنْهُ you entrust him بِدِينَارٍۢ with a single coin لَّا not يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ he will return it إِلَيْكَ to you إِلَّا except مَا that دُمْتَ you keep constantly عَلَيْهِ over him قَآئِمًۭا ۗ standing ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because they قَالُوا۟ said لَيْسَ Not عَلَيْنَا on us فِى concerning ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ the unlettered people سَبِيلٌۭ any [way] (accountability) وَيَقُولُونَ And they say عَلَى about ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْكَذِبَ the lie وَهُمْ while they يَعْلَمُونَ know ٧٥

بَلَىٰ Nay مَنْ whoever أَوْفَىٰ fulfills بِعَهْدِهِۦ his covenant وَٱتَّقَىٰ and fears (Allah) فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ those who fear (Him) ٧٦

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَشْتَرُونَ exchange بِعَهْدِ (the) Covenant ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَأَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ and their oaths ثَمَنًۭا (for) a price قَلِيلًا little أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ those لَا no خَلَـٰقَ share لَهُمْ for them فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter وَلَا and not يُكَلِّمُهُمُ will speak to them ٱللَّهُ Allah وَلَا and not يَنظُرُ look إِلَيْهِمْ at them يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection وَلَا and not يُزَكِّيهِمْ purify them وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ٧٧

وَإِنَّ And indeed مِنْهُمْ among them لَفَرِيقًۭا surely (is) a group يَلْوُۥنَ they distort أَلْسِنَتَهُم their tongues بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ in (reciting) the Book لِتَحْسَبُوهُ so that you may think it مِنَ (is) from ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book وَمَا and not هُوَ it مِنَ (is) from ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book وَيَقُولُونَ And they say هُوَ It مِنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَمَا But not هُوَ it مِنْ (is) عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَيَقُولُونَ And they say عَلَى about ٱللَّهِ Allah ٱلْكَذِبَ the lie وَهُمْ while they يَعْلَمُونَ know ٧٨

مَا Not كَانَ is لِبَشَرٍ for a human أَن that يُؤْتِيَهُ gives him ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَٱلْحُكْمَ and the wisdom وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ and the Prophethood ثُمَّ then يَقُولَ he says لِلنَّاسِ to the people كُونُوا۟ Be عِبَادًۭا worshippers لِّى of me مِن from دُونِ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah وَلَـٰكِن but (would say) كُونُوا۟ Be رَبَّـٰنِيِّـۧنَ worshippers of the Lord بِمَا because كُنتُمْ you have been تُعَلِّمُونَ teaching ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَبِمَا and because كُنتُمْ you have been تَدْرُسُونَ studying (it) ٧٩

وَلَا And not يَأْمُرَكُمْ he will order you أَن that تَتَّخِذُوا۟ you take ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ the Angels وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ and the Prophets أَرْبَابًا ۗ (as) lords أَيَأْمُرُكُم Would he order you بِٱلْكُفْرِ to [the] disbelief بَعْدَ after إِذْ [when] أَنتُم you (have become) مُّسْلِمُونَ Muslims ٨٠

وَإِذْ And when أَخَذَ took ٱللَّهُ Allah مِيثَـٰقَ covenant ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ (of) the Prophets لَمَآ Certainly, whatever ءَاتَيْتُكُم I (have) given you مِّن of كِتَـٰبٍۢ (the) Book وَحِكْمَةٍۢ and wisdom ثُمَّ then جَآءَكُمْ comes to you رَسُولٌۭ a Messenger مُّصَدِّقٌۭ confirming لِّمَا that which مَعَكُمْ (is) with you لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ you must believe بِهِۦ in him وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُۥ ۚ and you must help him قَالَ He said ءَأَقْرَرْتُمْ Do you affirm وَأَخَذْتُمْ and take عَلَىٰ on ذَٰلِكُمْ that (condition) إِصْرِى ۖ My Covenant قَالُوٓا۟ They said أَقْرَرْنَا ۚ We affirm قَالَ He said فَٱشْهَدُوا۟ Then bear witness وَأَنَا۠ and I (am) مَعَكُم with you مِّنَ among ٱلشَّـٰهِدِينَ the witnesses ٨١

فَمَن Then whoever تَوَلَّىٰ turns away بَعْدَ after ذَٰلِكَ that فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ they ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ (are) the defiantly disobedient ٨٢

أَفَغَيْرَ So is (it) other than دِينِ (the) religion ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يَبْغُونَ they seek وَلَهُۥٓ While to Him أَسْلَمَ (have) submitted مَن whatever فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth طَوْعًۭا willingly وَكَرْهًۭا or unwillingly وَإِلَيْهِ and towards Him يُرْجَعُونَ they will be returned ٨٣

قُلْ Say ءَامَنَّا We believed بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ (is) revealed عَلَيْنَا on us وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ was revealed عَلَىٰٓ on إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim وَإِسْمَـٰعِيلَ and Ishmael وَإِسْحَـٰقَ and Isaac وَيَعْقُوبَ and Yaqub وَٱلْأَسْبَاطِ and the descendents وَمَآ and what أُوتِىَ was given مُوسَىٰ (to) Musa وَعِيسَىٰ and Isa وَٱلنَّبِيُّونَ and the Prophets مِن from رَّبِّهِمْ their Lord لَا Not نُفَرِّقُ we make distinction بَيْنَ between أَحَدٍۢ any مِّنْهُمْ of them وَنَحْنُ and we لَهُۥ to Him مُسْلِمُونَ (are) submissive ٨٤

وَمَن And whoever يَبْتَغِ seeks غَيْرَ other than ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمِ [the] Islam دِينًۭا (as) religion فَلَن then never يُقْبَلَ will be accepted مِنْهُ from him وَهُوَ and he فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter مِنَ (will be) from ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ the losers ٨٥
