No indeed! God loves those who keep their pledges and are mindful of Him
Translation 1260
but those who sell out God’s covenant and their own oaths for a small price will have no share in the life to come. God will neither speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection- He will not cleanse them [of their sins]- agonizing torment awaits them
Translation 1260
There are some who twist the Scripture with their tongues to make you [people] think that what they say is part of the Scripture when it is not; they say it is from God when it is not; they attribute lies to God and they know it
Translation 1260
No person to whom God had given the Scripture, wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to people, ‘Be my servants, not God’s.’ [He would say], ‘You should be devoted to God because you have taught the Scripture and studied it closely.’
Translation 1260
He would never command you to take angels and prophets as lords. How could he command you to be disbelievers after you had devoted yourselves to God
Translation 1260
God took a pledge from the prophets, saying, ‘If, after I have bestowed Scripture and wisdom upon you, a messenger comes confirming what you have been given, you must believe in him and support him. Do you affirm this and accept My pledge as binding on you?’ They said, ‘We do.’ He said, ‘Then bear witness and I too will bear witness.’
Translation 1260
Those who turn away after this are the ones who break pledges
Translation 1260
Do they seek anything other than submission to God? Everyone in the heavens and earth submits to Him, willingly or unwillingly; they will all be returned to Him
Translation 1260
Say [Muhammad], ‘We [Muslims] believe in God and in what has been sent down to us and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes. We believe in what has been given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We do not make a distinction between any of the [prophets]. It is to Him that we devote ourselves.’
Translation 1260
If anyone seeks a religion other than [islam] complete devotion to God, it will not be accepted from him: he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter
Translation 1260
Why would God guide people who deny the truth, after they have believed and acknowledged that the Messenger is true, and after they have been shown clear proof? God does not guide evildoers
Translation 1260
such people will be rewarded with rejection by God, by the angels, by all people
Translation 1260
and so they will remain, with no relief or respite for their suffering
Translation 1260
Not so those who afterwards repent and mend their ways- God is most forgiving and merciful
Translation 1260
[although] the repentance of those who, having believed, then increase in their disbelief, will not be accepted. They are the ones who have gone [far] astray
Translation 1260
those who disbelieve and die disbelievers will not be saved even if they offer enough gold to fill the entire earth. Agonizing torment is in store for them, and there will be no one to help them
Translation 1260
None of you [believers] will attain true piety unless you give out of what you cherish: whatever you give, God knows about it very well
Translation 1260
Except for what Israel made unlawful for himself, all food was lawful to the Children of Israel before the Torah was revealed. Say, ‘Bring the Torah and read out [the relevant passage] if you are telling the truth
Translation 1260
Those who persist in making up lies and attributing them to God after this are the wrongdoers.’
Translation 1260
[Prophet], say, ‘God speaks the truth, so follow Abraham’s religion: he had true faith and he was never an idolater.’
Translation 1260
The first House [of worship] to be established for people was the one at Mecca. It is a blessed place; a source of guidance for all people
Translation 1260
there are clear signs in it; it is the place where Abraham stood to pray; whoever enters it is safe. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty owed to God by people who are able to undertake it. Those who reject this [should know that] God has no need of anyone
Translation 1260
Say, ‘People of the Book, why do you reject God’s revelations? God witnesses everything you do.’
Translation 1260
Say, ‘People of the Book, why do you turn the believers away from God’s path and try to make it crooked, when you yourselves [should be] witnesses to the [truth]? God is not heedless of anything you do.’
Translation 1260
You who believe, some of those who were given the Scripture would turn you into disbelievers if you were to yield to them
Translation 1260
