Those who say, “Allah is one of three,” have certainly rejected faith. There is no god except One God. If they do not stop saying this, a painful punishment will surely touch those among them who reject faith.
The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger; messengers passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them, then see how they are turned away.
Say, “People of the Scripture, do not go to unjustified extremes in your religion, and do not follow the desires of people who went astray before, led many others astray, and strayed from the right way.”
Those among the Children of Israel who rejected faith were rejected through the words of David and Jesus son of Mary because they disobeyed and kept overstepping limits.
You see many of them taking those who reject faith as protecting allies. How terrible is what they have sent ahead for themselves, bringing Allah’s anger upon them, and they will remain in punishment.
Had they truly believed in Allah, the Prophet, and what was sent down to him, they would not have taken them as protecting allies. But many of them are defiantly disobedient.
You will surely find the most intense in hostility toward the believers to be some who are Jewish and those who associate partners with Allah, and you will surely find the nearest in affection toward the believers to be those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.
When they hear what has been sent down to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because they recognize the truth. They say, “Our Lord, we believe, so record us among the witnesses.
So Allah rewarded them for what they said with gardens with rivers flowing beneath them, where they will remain forever. That is the reward of those who do good.
Allah will not hold you accountable for unintentional words in your oaths, but He will hold you accountable for oaths you deliberately bind yourselves to. The expiation is to feed ten people in need with the average of what you feed your own families, or clothe them, or free an enslaved person. Whoever cannot afford that must fast for three days. That is the expiation for your oaths when you have sworn them. Guard your oaths. In this way Allah makes His signs clear to you so that you may be grateful.
Satan only wants to create hostility and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling and to turn you away from remembering Allah and from prayer. So will you stop?
There is no blame on those who believe and do good deeds for what they consumed in the past, as long as they are mindful of Allah, believe, and do good, then continue to be mindful and believe, then remain mindful and do good. Allah loves those who do good.
Believers, Allah will surely test you with some game that comes within reach of your hands and spears, so that Allah may make evident who fears Him without seeing Him. Whoever oversteps after that will have a painful punishment.
Believers, do not kill game while you are in the state of pilgrimage. Whoever among you does so deliberately must compensate with an equivalent animal from livestock, judged by two just people among you, to be offered as a sacrifice reaching the Kaʿbah; or make expiation by feeding people in need; or the equivalent of that in fasting, so that they may taste the consequence of what they did. Allah has pardoned what happened in the past, but whoever repeats the offense, Allah will exact retribution from them. Allah is Almighty, capable of retribution.
Game from the sea and its food are lawful for you as provision for you and for travelers, but land game is forbidden to you while you are in the state of pilgrimage. Be mindful of Allah, to whom you will all be gathered.
