They thought there will be no Fitnah (trial or punishment), so
they became blind and deaf; after that Allâh turned to them (with Forgiveness);
yet again many of them became blind and deaf. And Allâh is the All¬Seer of what
they do. (71) Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allâh is the
Messiah Īsā (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah Īsā(Jesus) said: "O Children of Israel!
Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners
(in worship) with Allâh, then Allâh has forbidden Paradise
to him, and the Fire will be his abode[]. And for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and
wrong-doers) there are no helpers (72) Surely, disbelievers are those who said:
"Allâh is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no
llâh (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilâh (God -Allâh).
And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall
on the disbelievers among them (73) Will they not turn with repentance to Allâh
and ask His Forgiveness? For Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[] (74) The Messiah
['Īsā (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many
were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was
a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allâh and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to
eat food (as any other human being, while Allâh does not eat). Look how We make
the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear
to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth) (75) Say (O Muhammad SAW
to mankind): "How do you worship besides Allâh something which has no
power either to harm or to benefit you? But it is Allâh Who is the All¬Hearer,
All¬Knower." (76)
