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."

He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have son, seeing I am very old, and my wife is barren?" "Thus," was the answer, "Doth Allah accomplish what He willeth."

She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

Ah! These are the sort of men on whose behalf ye may contend in this world; but who will contend with Allah on their behalf on the Day of Judgment, or who will carry their affairs through?

And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-

And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.

To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things.

(Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."

"We should indeed invent a lie against Allah, if we returned to your ways after Allah hath rescued us therefrom; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto unless it be as in the will and plan of Allah, Our Lord. Our Lord can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge. In the Allah is our trust. our Lord! decide Thou between us and our people in truth, for Thou art the best to decide."

How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a treaty near the sacred Mosque? As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the righteous.

But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, Say: "Bring us a reading other than this, or change this," Say: "It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow naught but what is revealed unto me: if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the penalty of a Great Day (to come)."

He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have grown quite decrepit from old age?"

She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"

And why did ye not, when ye heard it, say? - "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to Allah! this is a most serious slander!"

Say (to the Rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him: But ye have indeed rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!"

Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors.

Know ye (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth, delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; thou wilt see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception?

Seest thou not that Allah doth know (all) that is in the heavens and on earth? There is not a secret consultation between three, but He makes the fourth among them, - Nor between five but He makes the sixth,- nor between fewer nor more, but He is in their midst, wheresoever they be: In the end will He tell them the truth of their conduct, on the Day of Judgment. For Allah has full knowledge of all things.

(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,

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。

他说：“我的主啊！我确已老迈了，我的妻子是不会生育的，我怎么会有儿子呢?”天神说：“真主如此为所欲为。”

她说：“我的主啊！任何人都没有和我接触过，我怎么会有儿子呢?”天神说：“真主要如此创造他的意欲的人。当他判决一件事情的时候，他只对那件事情说声‘有'，它就有了。”

你们这些人啊！在今世生活中，你们替他们辩护，复活日，谁替他们辩护呢？谁做他们的监护者呢？

信奉天经的人，在他未死之前，没有一个信仰他的， 在复活日他要作证他们。

当时，真主将说：“麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你曾对众人说过这句话吗﹖'你们当舍真主而以我和我母亲为主宰'。”他说：“我赞颂你超绝万物，我不会说出我不该说的话。如果我说了，那你一定知道。你知道我心里的事，我却不知道你心里的事。你确是深知一切幽玄的。

他是天地的创造者，他没有配偶，怎么会有儿女呢？他曾创造万物，他是全知万的。

主说：“你从这里下去吧！你不该在这里自大。你出去吧！你确是卑贱的！”

真主使我们脱离你们的宗教后，如果我们再去信它，那末，我们确已假借真主的名义而造谣了。除非真主--我们的主--意欲，我们不会再信你们的宗教。我们的主的知觉是包罗万物的，我们只信托真主。我们的主啊！求你在我们和我们的宗族之间依真理而判决吧，你是至善的判决者。”

在真主及其使者看来，以物配主者怎么会有盟约呢？但在禁寺附近与你们缔结盟约的人，在他们为你们遵守盟约的期间，你们当为他们遵守盟约。真主确是喜爱敬畏者的。

有人对他们宣读我的明显的迹象的时候，那些不希望会见我的人说：“请你另拿一部《古兰经》来，或者请你修改这部《古兰经》。”你说：“我不至于擅自修改它。我只能遵从我所受的启示。如果我违抗我的主，我的确畏惧重大日的刑罚。”

他说：“我的主啊！我的妻子是不会生育的，我也老态龙钟了，我怎么会有儿子呢？”

她说：“任何人没有接触过我，我又不是失节的，我怎么会有儿子呢？”

当你们听见谎言的时候，你们为何不说：我们不该说这种话，赞颂真主， 超绝万物！这是重大的诬蔑。

你说：“假若没有你们的祈祷，我的主并不关切你们，但你们既已否认真理，你们将要受无法解脱的刑罚。”

难道信士们以为时间还未到，故他们的心不为真主的教诲和他所降示的真理而柔和吗？他们不可以象以前曾奉天经的人们那样，经过长时期后，他们的心就变硬了，他们中有许多人是犯罪的。

你们应当知道，今世的生活，只是游戏、娱乐、点缀、矜夸，以财产和子孙的富庶相争胜；譬如时雨，使田苗滋长，农夫见了非常高兴，嗣后，田苗枯槁，你看它变成黄色的，继而零落。在后世，有严厉的刑罚，也有从真主发出的赦宥和喜悦；今世生活，只是欺骗人的享受。

难道你不知道真主是全知天地万物的？凡有三个人密谈，他就是第四个参与者；凡有五个人密谈，他就是第六个参与者；凡有比那更少或更多的人密谈，无论他们在那里，他总是与他们同在的；然后在复活日，他要把他们的行为告诉他们。真主确是全知万物的。

在那日,众人将似分散的飞蛾,
