45 Recite that which has been revealed to thee of the Book and keep up prayer. Surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil; and certainly the remembrance of Allāh is the greatest (force). And Allāh knows what you do. |
46 And argue not with the People of the Book except by what is best, save such of them as act unjustly. But say: We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and to Him we submit. |
47 And thus have We revealed the Book to thee. So those whom We have given the Book believe in it, and of these there are those who believe in it; and none deny Our messages except the disbelievers. |
48 And thou didst not recite before it any book, nor didst thou transcribe one with thy right hand, for then could the liars have doubted. |
49 Nay, it is clear messages in the hearts of those who are granted knowledge. And none deny Our messages except the iniquitous. |
50 And they say: Why are not signs sent down upon him from his Lord? Say: Signs are with Allāh only, and I am only a plain warner. |
51 Is it not enough for them that We have revealed to thee the Book which is recited to them? Surely there is mercy in this and a reminder for a people who believe. |
52 Say: Allāh is sufficient as a witness between me and you — He knows what is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in falsehood and disbelieve in Allāh, these it is that are the losers. |
53 And they ask thee to hasten on the chastisement. And had not a term been appointed, the chastisement would certainly have come to them. And certainly it will come to them all of a sudden, while they perceive not. |
54 They ask thee to hasten on the chastisement, and surely hell encompasses the disbelievers — |
55 The day when the chastisement will cover them from above them, and from beneath their feet! And He will say: Taste what you did. |
