and he has not been given
(of) the two best (things)
surely (would be) losers.`
(with the) People of the Book
Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."
Were ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons: "What will ye worship after me?" They said: "We shall worship Thy god and the god of thy fathers, of Abraham, Isma'il and Isaac,- the one (True) Allah: To Him we bow (in Islam)."
Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."
(Our religion is) the Baptism of Allah: And who can baptize better than Allah? And it is He Whom we worship.
Say: Will ye dispute with us about Allah, seeing that He is our Lord and your Lord; that we are responsible for our doings and ye for yours; and that We are sincere (in our faith) in Him?
Their Prophet said to them: "Allah hath appointed Talut as king over you." They said: "How can he exercise authority over us when we are better fitted than he to exercise authority, and he is not even gifted, with wealth in abundance?" He said: "Allah hath Chosen him above you, and hath gifted him abundantly with knowledge and bodily prowess: Allah Granteth His authority to whom He pleaseth. Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."
Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."
Allah hath heard the taunt of those who say: "Truly, Allah is indigent and we are rich!"- We shall certainly record their word and (their act) of slaying the prophets in defiance of right, and We shall say: "Taste ye the penalty of the Scorching Fire!
Say: "Can you expect for us (any fate) other than one of two glorious things- (Martyrdom or victory)? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send his punishment from Himself, or by our hands. So wait (expectant); we too will wait with you."
They said: "Truly Joseph and his brother are loved more by our father than we: But we are a goodly body! really our father is obviously wandering (in his mind)!
They said: "If the wolf were to devour him while we are (so large) a party, then should we indeed (first) have perished ourselves!"
And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away).
And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury): but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam)."
It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.
But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not,-
当时,你的主对众天神说:“我必定在大地上设置一个代理人。”他们说:“我们赞你超绝,我们赞你清净,你还要在大地上设置作恶和流血者吗?”他说:“我知道你们所不知道的。”
当叶尔孤白临死的时候,你们在埸吗?当时,他对他的儿子们说:“我死之後,你们将崇拜甚麽?”他们说:“我们将崇拜你所崇拜的,和你的祖先易卜拉欣、易司马仪、易司哈格所崇拜的──独一的主宰──我们只归顺他。”
你们说:“我们信我们所受的启示,与易卜拉欣、易司马仪、易司哈格、叶尔孤白和各支派所受的启示,与穆萨和尔撒受赐的经典,与众先知受主所赐的经典;我们对他们中任何一个,都不加以歧视,我们只顺真主。”
你们当保持真主的洗礼,有谁比真主施洗得更好呢?”我们只崇拜他。”
你说:“难道你们和我们争论真主吗?其实,他是我们的主,也是你们的主;我们将受我们的行为的报酬,你们也将受你们的行为的报酬;我们只是忠於他的。”
他们的先知对他们说:“真主确已为你们立塔鲁特为国王了。”他们说:“他怎麽配做我们的国王呢?我们是比他更配做国王的,况且他没有丰富的财产。”他说:“真主确已选他为你们的领袖,并且加赐他渊博的学识和健壮的体魄。”真主常常把国权赏赐自己所意欲的人。真主是宽大的,全知的。
你说:“我们确信真主,确信我们所受的启示,与易卜拉欣,易司马仪,易司哈格,叶尔孤白和各支派所受的启示,与穆萨,尔萨和众先知所受赐于他们的主的经典,我们对于他们中的任何一人,都不加以歧视,我们只归顺他。”
真主确已听见有些人说:“真主确是贫穷的,我们确是富足的。”我要记录他们所说的话,和他们枉杀众先知的行为。我要说:“他们尝试烧灼的刑罚吧。”
你说:“你们只期待著我们获得两大善果之一,我们却期待著真主降天灾来折磨你们,或借我们的手惩治你们。你们期待著吧,我们确是与你们一道期待著的!”
当时,他们说:“优素福和他弟弟,在我们的父亲看来,是比我们还可爱的,而我们是一个(强壮的)团体,我们的父亲确是在明显的迷误之中。”
他们说:“我们是一个(强壮的)团体,狼却吃了他,那我们真是该死了。”
我确是能使万物生,能使万物死的;我确是万物的继承者。
除依最优的方式外,你们不要与信奉天经的人辩论,除非他们中不义的人。你们应当说:“我们确信降示我们的经典,和降示你们的经典;我们所崇拜和你们所崇拜的是同一个神明,我们是归顺他的。”
我确已创造人,我知道他心中的妄想;我比他的命脉还近于他。
我比你们更临近他,但你们不晓得,
