When We substitute one revelation for another- and God knows best what He reveals- they say, ‘You are just making it up,’ but most of them have no knowledge.

Say that the Holy Spirit has brought the Revelation with the Truth step by step from your Lord, to strengthen the believers and as guidance and good news to the devout.

We know very well that they say, ‘It is a man who teaches him,’ but the language of the person they allude to is foreign, while this revelation is in clear Arabic.

If people do not believe in God’s revelation, God does not guide them, and a painful punishment awaits them.

Falsehood is fabricated only by those who do not believe in God’s revelation: they are the liars.

With the exception of those who are forced to say they do not believe, although their hearts remain firm in faith, those who reject God after believing in Him and open their hearts to disbelief will have the wrath of God upon them and a grievous punishment awaiting them.

This is because they love the life of this world more than the one to come, and God does not guide those who reject Him.

These are people whose hearts, hearing, and sight have been closed off by God: they are heedless,

and there is no doubt that they will be the losers in the Hereafter.

But your Lord will be most forgiving and most merciful to those who leave their homes after persecution, then strive and remain steadfast.

وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَآ ءَايَةࣰ مَّكَانَ ءَايَةࣲ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفْتَرِۭۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

قُلْ نَزَّلَهُۥ رُوحُ ٱلْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهُدࣰى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَرࣱۗ لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيࣱّ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيࣱّ مُّبِينٌ

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِي ٱلْكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَٰذِبُونَ

مَن كَفَرَ بِٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِيمَٰنِهِۦٓ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُۥ مُطْمَئِنُّۢ بِٱلْإِيمَٰنِ وَلَٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلْكُفْرِ صَدْرࣰا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبࣱ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمࣱ

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَٰرِهِمْۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰفِلُونَ

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُوا۟ ثُمَّ جَٰهَدُوا۟ وَصَبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ

On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, every soul will be paid in full for all its actions- they will not be wronged.

God presents the example of a town that was secure and at ease, with provisions coming to it abundantly from all places. Then it became ungrateful for God’s blessings, so God afflicted it with the garment of famine and fear, for what its people had done.

So eat of the good and lawful things God has provided for you and be thankful for His blessings, if it is Him that you worship.

He has forbidden you only these things: carrion, blood, pig’s meat, and animals over which any name other than God’s has been invoked. But if anyone is forced by hunger, not desiring it nor exceeding their immediate need, God is forgiving and merciful.

Do not say falsely, ‘This is lawful and that is forbidden,’ inventing a lie about God: those who invent lies about God will not prosper-

they may have a little enjoyment, but painful punishment awaits them.

[Prophet], We forbade the Jews what We told you about. We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves.

But towards those who do wrong out of ignorance, and afterwards repent and make amends, your Lord is most forgiving and merciful.

۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسࣲ تُجَٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسࣲ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلࣰا قَرْيَةࣰ كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةࣰ مُّطْمَئِنَّةࣰ يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدࣰا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانࣲ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٰقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَصْنَعُونَ

فَكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَٰلࣰا طَيِّبࣰا وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ

إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦۖ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغࣲ وَلَا عَادࣲ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ

وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَٰلࣱ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامࣱ لِّتَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ

مَتَٰعࣱ قَلِيلࣱ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمࣱ

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَٰهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا۟ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَٰلَةࣲ ثُمَّ تَابُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوٓا۟ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمٌ

Abraham was truly an example: devoutly obedient to God and true in faith. He was not an idolater;

he was thankful for the blessings of God who chose him and guided him to a straight path.

We gave him blessings in this world, and he is among the right-eous in the Hereafter.

Then We revealed to you [Muhammad], ‘Follow the creed of Abraham, a man of pure faith who was not an idolater.’

The Sabbath was made obligatory only for those who differed about it. On the Day of Resurrection your Lord will judge between them as to their differences.

إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةࣰ قَانِتࣰا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفࣰا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

شَاكِرࣰا لِّأَنْعُمِهِۚ ٱجْتَبَىٰهُ وَهَدَىٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطࣲ مُّسْتَقِيمࣲ

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ فِي ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةࣰۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفࣰاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبْتُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

[Prophet], call [people] to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching. Argue with them in the most courteous way, for your Lord knows best who has strayed from His way and who is rightly guided.

If you [believers] have to respond to an attack, make your response proportionate, but it is best to stand fast.

So [Prophet] be steadfast: your steadfastness comes only from God. Do not grieve over them; do not be distressed by their scheming,

for God is with those who are mindful of Him and who do good.

ٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِۖ وَجَٰدِلْهُم بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ

وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُم بِهِۦۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرࣱ لِّلصَّٰبِرِينَ

وَٱصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِي ضَيْقࣲ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ
