(They like to) listen to falsehood, to devour anything forbidden.
So if they come to you (O Muhammad SAW), either judge between them, or turn
away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot hurt you in the least.
And if you judge, judge with justice between them. Verily, Allâh loves those
who act justly. (42) But how do they come to you for decision while they have the
Taurât (Torah), in which is the (plain) Decision of Allâh; yet even after that,
they turn away. For they are not (really) believers. (43) Verily, We did send
down the Taurât (Torah) [to Mûsa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by
which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allâh's Will, judged for the
Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged for the Jews by the Taurât
(Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of
Allâh's Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear
Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does
not judge by what Allâh has revealed, such are the Kâfirûn (i.e. disbelievers -
of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allâh's Laws[]). (44) And We ordained
therein for them: "Life for life[], eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for
ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if anyone remits
the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And
whosoever does not judge by that which Allâh has revealed, such are the Zâlimûn
(polytheists and wrong¬doers - of a lesser degree). (45)
