If they (Jews) belie you (Muhammad SAW) say: "Your Lord is
the Owner of Vast Mercy, and never will His Wrath be turned back from the
people who are Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists, or sinners)." (147) Those
who took partners (in worship) with Allâh will say: "If Allâh had willed,
we would not have taken partners (in worship) with Him, nor would our fathers,
and we would not have forbidden anything (against His Will)." Likewise
belied those who were before them, (they argued falsely with Allâh's
Messengers), till they tasted Our Wrath. Say: "Have you any knowledge
(proof) that you can produce before us? Verily, you follow nothing but guess
and you do nothing but lie." (148) Say: "With Allâh is the perfect proof
and argument, (i.e. the Oneness of Allâh, the sending of His Messengers and His
Holy Books to mankind), had He so willed, He would indeed have guided you
all." (149) Say: "Bring forward your witnesses, who can testify that
Allâh has forbidden this. Then if they testify, testify not you (O Muhammad
SAW) with them. And you should not follow the vain desires of such as treat Our
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) as
falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Hereafter, and they hold others as
equal (in worship) with their Lord." (150) Say (O Muhammad SAW):
"Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not
anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not
your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them;
come not near to Al-Fawâhish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse,)
whether committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom Allâh has
forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islâmic law). This He has
commanded you that you may understand. (151)
