۞ لَتَجِدَنَّ Surely you will find أَشَدَّ strongest ٱلنَّاسِ (of) the people عَدَٰوَةًۭ (in) enmity لِّلَّذِينَ to those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe ٱلْيَهُودَ the Jews وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who أَشْرَكُوا۟ ۖ (are) polytheists وَلَتَجِدَنَّ and surely you will find أَقْرَبَهُم nearest of them مَّوَدَّةًۭ (in) affection لِّلَّذِينَ to those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe ٱلَّذِينَ those who قَالُوٓا۟ say إِنَّا We نَصَـٰرَىٰ ۚ (are) Christians ذَٰلِكَ That (is) بِأَنَّ because مِنْهُمْ among them قِسِّيسِينَ (are) priests وَرُهْبَانًۭا and monks وَأَنَّهُمْ and that they لَا (are) not يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ arrogant ٨٢
