77 Do they not know that Allāh knows what they keep secret and what they make known? |
78 And some of them are illiterate; they know not the Book but only (from) hearsay, and they do but conjecture. |
79 Woe! then to those who write the Book with their hands then say, This is from Allāh; so that they may take for it a small price. So woe! to them for what their hands write and woe! to them for what they earn. |
80 And they say: Fire will not touch us but for a few days. Say: Have you received a promise from Allāh? Then Allāh will not fail to perform His promise. Or do you speak against Allāh what you know not? |
81 Yea, whoever earns evil and his sins beset him on every side, those are the companions of the Fire; there-in they abide. |
82 And those who believe and do good deeds, these are the owners of the Garden; therein they abide. |
83 And when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel: You shall serve none but Allāh. And do good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin and to orphans and the needy, and speak good (words) to (all) men, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate. Then you turned back except a few of you, and you are averse. |
84 And when We made a covenant with you: You shall not shed your blood, nor turn your people out of your cities; then you promised and you bear witness. |
85 Yet you it is who would slay your people and turn a party from among you out of their homes, backing each other up against them unlawfully and exceeding the limits. And if they should come to you as captives you would ransom them, whereas their turning out itself was unlawful for you. Do you then believe in a part of the Book and disbelieve in the other? What then is the reward of such among you as do this but disgrace in the life of this world, and on the day of Resurrection they shall be sent back to the most grievous chastisement. And Allāh is not heedless of what you do. |
86 These are they who buy the life of this world for the Hereafter, so their chastisement shall not be lightened, nor shall they be helped. |
