The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (To stand) upon." Yet they (Profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment.

Say those without knowledge: "Why speaketh not Allah unto us? or why cometh not unto us a Sign?" So said the people before them words of similar import. Their hearts are alike. We have indeed made clear the Signs unto any people who hold firmly to Faith (in their hearts).

"And believe no one unless he follows your religion." Say: "True guidance is the Guidance of Allah: (Fear ye) Lest a revelation be sent to someone (else) Like unto that which was sent unto you? or that those (Receiving such revelation) should engage you in argument before your Lord?" Say: "All bounties are in the hand of Allah: He granteth them to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."

Then Allah sent a raven, who scratched the ground, to show him how to hide the shame of his brother. "Woe is me!" said he; "Was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the shame of my brother?" then he became full of regrets-

Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah, or saith, "I have received inspiration," when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against Allah, and scornfully to reject of His signs!"

When there comes to them a sign (from Allah), They say: "We shall not believe until we receive one (exactly) like those received by Allah's messengers." Allah knoweth best where (and how) to carry out His mission. Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before Allah, and a severe punishment, for all their plots.

When Our Signs are rehearsed to them, they say: "We have heard this (before): if we wished, we could say (words) like these: these are nothing but tales of the ancients."

Do they then expect (any thing) but (what happened in) the days of the men who passed away before them? Say: "Wait ye then: for I, too, will wait with you."

On the contrary they say things similar to what the ancients said.

But (now), when the Truth has come to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not (Signs) sent to him, like those which were sent to Moses?" Do they not then reject (the Signs) which were formerly sent to Moses? They say: "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!" And they say: "For us, we reject all (such things)!"

So he went forth among his people in the (pride of his wordly) glitter. Said those whose aim is the Life of this World: "Oh! that we had the like of what Qarun has got! for he is truly a lord of mighty good fortune!"

Then said the man who believed: "O my people! Truly I do fear for you something like the Day (of disaster) of the Confederates (in sin)!-

"Something like the fate of the People of Noah, the 'Ad, and the Thamud, and those who came after them: but Allah never wishes injustice to his Servants.

But if they turn away, say thou: "I have warned you of a stunning Punishment (as of thunder and lightning) like that which (overtook) the 'Ad and the Thamud!"

Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.

For the Wrong-doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!

And if any of your wives deserts you to the Unbelievers, and ye have an accession (by the coming over of a woman from the other side), then pay to those whose wives have deserted the equivalent of what they had spent (on their dower). And fear Allah, in Whom ye believe.

犹太教徒和基督教徒，都是诵读天经的，犹太教徒却说：“基督教徒毫无凭据。”基督教徒也说：“犹太教徒毫无凭据。”无知识的人，他们也说这种话。故复活日真主将判决他们所争论的是非。

无知者说：“为甚麽真主不和我们说话呢？为甚麽不有一种迹象降临我们呢？”他们之前的人也说过这样的话；他们的心是相似的。我确已为笃信的民众阐明许多迹象了。

你们只可以信任你们的教友。”你说：“引导确是真主的引导，难道因为别人获得象你们所获得的启示，或他们将在真主那里与你们辩论，（你们就这样用计）吗?”你说：“恩惠确是由真主掌握，他把它赏赐他所意欲的人。”真主是宽大的,是全知的。

真主使一只乌鸦来掘地，以便指示他怎样掩埋他弟弟的尸体。他说：“伤哉！我怎不能像这只乌鸦那样，把我弟弟的尸体掩埋起来呢？”于是，他变成悔恨的人。

假借真主的名义而造谣的，自称奉到启示，其实，没有奉到任何启示的人，或妄言要像真主那样降示天经的人，这等人谁比他们还不义呢？不义的人正在临死的苦痛中，众天神伸著手说：“你们拿出你们的灵魂吧！今天你们要受辱刑的报酬，因为你们假借真主的名义而造谣，并藐视他的迹象。”那时，假若你看见他们的情状，……。

当一种迹象降临他们的时候，他们说：“我们绝不信，直到我们得受众使者所受的（启示）。”真主是知道要把自己的使命安置在什么地方的。犯罪者，将因自己的计谋，而遭受真主那里的屈辱，和痛苦的刑罚。

当别人对他们宣读我的迹象的时候，他们说：“我们确已听见过了，假若我们意欲，我们必说出与此相似的文词来；这只是古人的（神话）。”

他们只等待在他们之前逝去者所遭的那种苦难日子。”你说：“你们等待吧！我确是与你们一起等待的。”

不然，他们说了如古人所说的话，

当我所启示的真理降临他们的时候，他们说：“他为什么不能获得象穆萨所获得的迹象呢？”难道他们没有否认以前穆萨所获得的迹象吗？他们曾说：“是两种互相印证的魔术。”他们曾说：“我们必定一概都不信。”

戈伦曾盛装出游，以豪华夸示自己的宗族。爱今世生活的人说：“但愿我们获得戈伦所获得的（财富），他确是有大福分的。”

信道者说：“我的宗族啊！我的确怕你们遭遇前人所遭遇的灾难，

如努哈的宗族、阿德人、赛莫德人、以及在他们之后的人所遭受的灾祸一样。真主是不欲亏枉众仆的。

如果他们退避，你就说：“我警告你们一种刑罚，它象阿德人和赛莫德人所受的刑罚一样。”

以天地的主盟誓，这确是真实的，犹如你们能说话一样。

不义的人们，和他们的朋友一样，必得一份刑罚，所以叫他们不要催促我。

如果你们的妻子，有脱离你们而归不信道者的，那末，当你们轮到交聘的时候，你们应当把妻子脱离者所纳的聘礼交付他们。你们当敬畏你们所信仰的真主。
