They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things as came down at babylon to the angels Harut and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; so do not blaspheme." They learned from them the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!

And remember Abraham said: "My Lord, make this a City of Peace, and feed its people with fruits,-such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day." He said: "(Yea), and such as reject Faith,-for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will soon drive them to the torment of Fire,- an evil destination (indeed)!"

Those messengers We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth His plan.

Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because Allah had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust.

In it are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to Allah,- those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of His creatures.

Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my messengers, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."

In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."

They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.

They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.

Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.

Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?"

Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: 'They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. 'If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.

Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour !"

Those who reject Faith will suffer from that rejection: and those who work righteousness will spread their couch (of repose) for themselves (in heaven):

we bestowed (in the past) Wisdom on Luqman: "Show (thy) gratitude to Allah." Any who is (so) grateful does so to the profit of his own soul: but if any is ungrateful, verily Allah is free of all wants, Worthy of all praise.

But if any reject Faith, let not his rejection grieve thee: to Us is their return, and We shall tell them the truth of their deeds: for Allah knows well all that is in (men's) hearts.

He it is That has made you inheritors in the earth: if, then, any do reject (Allah), their rejection (works) against themselves: their rejection but adds to the odium for the Unbelievers in the sight of their Lord: their rejection but adds to (their own) undoing.

(Their allies deceived them), like the Evil One, when he says to man, "Deny Allah": but when (man) denies Allah, (the Evil One) says, "I am free of thee: I do fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"

他们遵随众恶魔对於素莱曼的国权所宣读的诬蔑言论──素莱曼没有叛道，众恶魔却叛道了──他们教人魔术，并将巴比伦的两个天神哈鲁特和马鲁特所得的魔术教人。他们俩在教授任何人之前，必说：“我们只是试验，故你不可叛道。”他们就从他们俩学了可以离间夫妻的魔术，但不得真主的许可，他们绝不能用魔术伤害任何人。他们学了对自己有害而无益的东西。他们确已知道谁购取魔术，谁在後世绝无福分。他们只以此出卖自己，这代价真恶劣！假若他们知道，（必不肯学）。

当时，易卜拉欣说：“我的主啊！求你使这里变成安宁的地方，求你以各种粮食供给这里的居民──他们中信真主和末日的人。”他说：“不信道者，我将使他暂时享受，然後强逼他去受火刑。那结果真恶劣！”

这些使者，我使他们的品格互相超越；他们中有真主曾和他们说话的，有真主提升他若干等级的。我曾以许多明证赏赐麦尔彦之子尔撤，并且以玄灵扶助他。假若真主意欲，他们的信徒在明证降临之後，必不互相残杀，但他们意见分歧，他们中有信道的，有不信道的。假若真主意欲，他们必不互相攻击，但真主是为所欲为的。

难道你没有看见那个人吗？真主把国权赏赐他，故他与易卜拉欣争论他的主。当时，易卜拉欣说：“我的主能使死者生，能使生者死。”他说：“我也能使死者生，能使生者死。”易卜拉欣说：“真主的确能使太阳从东方升起，你使它从西方升起吧。”那个不信道的人，就哑口无言了。真主不引导不义的民众。

其中有许多明证，如易卜拉欣的立足地；凡入其中的人都得安宁。凡能旅行到天房的，人人都有为真主而朝觐天房的义务。不信道的人（无损于真主），因为真主确是无求于全世界的。

真主与以色列的后裔确已缔约，并从他们中派出十二个首领。真主说：“我确与你们同在。如果你们谨守拜功，完纳天课，确信我的众使者，并协助他们，并以善债借给真主，我必勾销你们的罪恶，我必让你们进入下临诸河的乐园。此后，谁不信道，谁已迷失了正路。”

妄言真主就是麦尔彦之子麦西哈的人，确已不信道了。你说：“如果真主欲毁灭麦西哈和他的母亲麦尔彦，以及大地上的一切人，那末，谁能干涉真主－丝毫呢？”天地万物的国权，只是真主的，他创造他所欲创造的。真主对于万事是全能的。

妄言真主就是麦尔彦之子麦西哈的人，确已不信道了。麦西哈曾说：“以色列的后裔啊!你们当崇拜真主--我的主，和你们的主。谁以物配主，真主必禁止谁入乐园，他的归宿是火狱。不义的人，绝没有任何援助者。”

妄言真主确是三位中的一位的人，确已不信道了。除独一的主宰外，绝无应受崇拜的。如果他们不停止妄言，那末，他们中不信道的人，必遭痛苦的刑罚。

既信真主之后，又表示不信者--除非被迫宣称不信、内心却为信仰而坚定者--为不信而心情舒畅者将遭天谴，并受重大的刑罚。

你告诉我吧！有人不信我的迹象，却说：“我必要获得财产和子嗣。”

真主应许你们中信道而且行善者（说）：他必使他们代他治理大地，正如他使在他们之前逝去者代他治理大地一样；他必为他们而巩固他所为他们嘉纳的宗教；他必以真主代替他们的恐怖。他们崇拜我而不以任何物配我。此后，凡不信道的，都是罪人。

那深知天经的人说：“转瞬间，我就把它拿来给你。”当他看见那个宝座安置在他面前的时候，他说：“这是我的主的恩惠之一，他欲以此试验我，看我是感谢者，还是孤负者。感谢者，只为自己的利益而感谢；孤负者（须知）我的主确是无求的、确是尊荣的。”

不信道者，将自受其不信的恶报，行善者只为自己预备安宅，

我确已把智慧赏赐鲁格曼，（我说）：“你当感谢真主。感谢的人，只为自己而感谢，孤负的人，须知真主确是无求的，确是可颂的。”

不信道者，你不要为他们的不信而忧愁，他们只归于我，我要把他们的行为告诉他们。真主确是全知他们的胸怀的。

他使你们为大地上的代治者。不信道者自受其不信的报酬；不信道者的不信，只使他们在他们的主那受痛恨；不信道者的不信，只使他们更蒙亏折。

他们又象恶魔一样。当时，他曾对人说：“你不要信道。”当他不信道的时候，他说：“我确是与你无干的，我的确畏惧真主--全世界的主。”
