Quite a number of the People of the Book wish they could Turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed, from selfish envy, after the Truth hath become Manifest unto them: But forgive and overlook, Till Allah accomplish His purpose; for Allah Hath power over all things.

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

Or (take) the similitude of one who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" but Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: (Perhaps) a day or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they show no signs of age; and look at thy donkey: And that We may make of thee a sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things."

If anyone contends with the Messenger even after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, and follows a path other than that becoming to men of Faith, We shall leave him in the path he has chosen, and land him in Hell,- what an evil refuge!

Disputing with thee concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death and they (actually) saw it.

It is not fitting, for the Prophet and those who believe, that they should pray for forgiveness for Pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are companions of the Fire.

And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing.

(Remember also) the 'Ad and the Thamud (people): clearly will appear to you from (the traces) of their buildings (their fate): the Evil One made their deeds alluring to them, and kept them back from the Path, though they were gifted with intelligence and skill.

Those who turn back as apostates after Guidance was clearly shown to them,- the Evil One has instigated them and busied them up with false hopes.

Those who reject Allah, hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and resist the Messenger, after Guidance has been clearly shown to them, will not injure Allah in the least, but He will make their deeds of no effect.

信奉天经的人当中，有许多人惟愿使你们在继信道之後变成不信道者，这是因为他们在真理既明之後嫉视你们的缘故。但你们应当恕饶他们，原谅他们，直到真主发布命令。真主对於万事确是全能的。

对於宗教，绝无强迫；因为正邪确已分明了。谁不信恶魔而信真主，谁确已把握住坚实的、绝不断折的把柄。真主是全聪的，是全知的。

难道你没有看见那个人吗？他经过一个荒凉的颓废的城市，他说：“真主怎样使这个已死的城市复活呢？”故真主使他在死亡的状态下逗留了一百年，然後使他复活。他说：“你逗留了多久？”他说：“我逗留了一日，或不到一日。”他说：“不然，你已逗留了一百年。你看你的饮食，没有腐败。你看你的驴子。我要以你为世人的迹象。你看这些骸骨，我怎样配合他，怎样以肉套在它的上面。”当他明白这件事的时候，他说：“我知道真主对於万事是全能的。”

谁在认清正道之后反对使者，而遵循非信士的道路，我将听谁自便，并使他入于火狱中，那是一个恶劣的归宿。

真理昭著之后，他们为真理与你争论，好像他们是被押去受死刑，而他们亲眼看见（刑具）似的。

先知和信士们，既知道多神教徒是火狱的居民，就不该为他们求饶，即使他们是自己的亲戚。

易卜拉欣曾为他父亲求饶，只为有约在先；他既知道他的父亲是真主的仇敌，就与他脱离了关系。易卜拉欣确是慈悲的，确是容忍的。

（我曾毁灭）阿德人和赛莫德人，你们从他们居住的地方，确已明白他们被毁灭的情形。恶魔以他们的行为，迷惑他们而阻碍他们遵循正道，他们原来是能思维的。

认清正道，然后叛道者，恶魔怂恿他们，并宽慰他们。

不信道，并妨碍主道，且在认识正道后反对使者的人们，绝不能损伤真主一丝毫，他要使他们的善功无效。
