96 And thou wilt certainly find them the greediest of men for life, (greedier) even than those who set up gods (with God). One of them loves to be granted a life of a thousand years, and his being granted a long life will in no way remove him further off from the chastisement. And Allāh is Seer of what they do. |
97 Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel — for surely he revealed it to thy heart by Allāh’s command, verifying that which is before it and a |
guidance and glad tidings for the believers. |
98 Whoever is an enemy to Allāh and His angels and His messengers and Gabriel and Michael, then surely Allāh is an enemy to disbelievers. |
99 And We indeed have revealed to thee clear messages, and none disbelieve in them except the transgressors. |
100 Is it that whenever they make a covenant, a party of them cast it aside? Nay, most of them have no faith. |
101 And when there came to them a messenger from Allāh verifying that which they have, a party of those who were given the Book threw the Book of Allāh behind their backs as if they knew nothing. |
102 And they follow what the devils fabricated against the kingdom of Solomon. And Solomon disbelieved not, but the devils disbelieved, teaching men enchantment. And it was not revealed to the two angels in Babel, Hārūt and Mārūt. Nor did they teach (it to) anyone, so that they should have said, We are only a trial, so disbelieve not. But they learn from these two (sources) that by which they make a distinction between a man and his wife. And they cannot hurt with it anyone except with Allāh’s permission. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And certainly they know that he who buys it has no share of good in the Hereafter. And surely evil is the price for which they have sold their souls, did they but know! |
103 And if they had believed and kept their duty, reward from Allāh would certainly have been better; did they but know! |
104 O you who believe, say not Rā‘i-nā and say Unẓur-nā, and listen. And for the disbelievers there is a painful chastisement. |
