Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah.

Even if thou wert to bring to the people of the Book all the Signs (together), they would not follow Thy Qibla; nor art thou going to follow their Qibla; nor indeed will they follow each other's Qibla. If thou after the knowledge hath reached thee, Wert to follow their (vain) desires,-then wert thou Indeed (clearly) in the wrong.

If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge Hath come to thee, say: "Come! let us gather together,- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"

To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;

Rejected were the messengers before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their wrongs, until Our aid did reach them: there is none that can alter the words (and decrees) of Allah. Already hast thou received some account of those messengers.

When those come to thee who believe in Our signs, Say: "Peace be on you: Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.

Thus have We revealed it to be a judgment of authority in Arabic. Wert thou to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor defender against Allah.

O Prophet! When believing women come to thee to take the oath of fealty to thee, that they will not associate in worship any other thing whatever with Allah, that they will not steal, that they will not commit adultery (or fornication), that they will not kill their children, that they will not utter slander, intentionally forging falsehood, and that they will not disobey thee in any just matter,- then do thou receive their fealty, and pray to Allah for the forgiveness (of their sins): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

When the Hypocrites come to thee, they say, "We bear witness that thou art indeed the Messenger of Allah." Yea, Allah knoweth that thou art indeed His Messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the Hypocrites are indeed liars.

But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

犹太教徒和基督教徒绝不喜欢你，直到你顺从他们的宗教。你说：“真主的指导，确是指导。”在知识降临你之後，如果你顺从他们的私欲，那末，你绝无任何保护者或援助者，以反抗真主。

即使你以一切迹象昭示曾受天经者，他们必不顺从你的朝向，你也绝不顺从他们的朝向；他们各守自己的朝向，互不相从。在知识降临你之後，如果你顺从他们的私欲，那末，你必定是不义者。

在知识降临你之后，凡与你争论此事的人，你都可以对他们说：“你们来吧！让我们召集我们各自的孩子，我们的妇女和你们的妇女，我们的自身和你们的自身，然后让我们祈祷真主弃绝说谎的人。”

我降示你这部包含真理的经典，以证实以前的一切天经，而监护之。故你当依真主所降示的经典而为他们判决，你不要舍弃降临你的真理而顺从他们的私欲。我已为你们中每一个民族制定一种教律和法程。如果真主意欲，他必使你们变成一个民族。但他把你们分成许多民族，以便他考验你们能不能遵守他所赐予你们的教律和法程。故你们当争先为善。你们全体都要归于真主，他要把你们所争论的是非告诉你们。

在你之前，有许多使者，确已被人否认，但他们忍受他人的否认和迫害，直到我的援助降临他们。真主的约言，不是任何人所能变更的。众使者的消息，有一部分确已降临你了。

确信我的迹象的人来见你的时候，你说：“祝你们平安。你们的主，曾以慈悯为自己的责任。你们中谁无知地作恶，然后悔过自新，真主必定赦宥谁，因为他确是至赦的，确是至慈的。”

假若你怀疑我所降示你的经典，你就问问那些常常诵读在你之前所降示的天经的人们。从你的主发出的真理，确已降临你，故你切莫居于怀疑者的行列，

我这样把它降示为阿拉伯文的智慧。在知识降临你之后，如果你顺从他们的欲望，那末，你对真主的（惩罚）绝无任何保护者，也绝无任何保卫者。

先知啊！如果信女们到你面前来与你誓约：她们不以任何物配真主，不偷盗，不通奸，不杀自己的儿女，不以别人的儿子冒充丈夫的儿子，不违背你的合理的命令，那末，你当与她们誓约，你当为她们向真主告饶。真主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

当伪信者来见你的时候，他们说：“我们作证，你确是真主的使者。”真主知道你确是他的使者，真主作证，伪信的人们确是说谎的。

至於殷切地来请教你，
