Indeed We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs, and revealed
with them the Scripture and the Balance (justice) that mankind may keep up
justice. And We brought forth iron wherein is mighty power (in matters of
war[]), as well as many benefits for mankind, that Allâh may test who it is
that will help Him (His religion), and His Messengers in the unseen. Verily,
Allâh is All-Strong, All-Mighty. (25) And indeed, We sent Nûh (Noah) and Ibrahîm
(Abraham), and placed in their offspring Prophethood and Scripture, And among them
there are some who are guided, but many of them are Fâsiqûn (rebellious,
disobedient to Allâh). (26) Then, We sent after them, Our Messengers, and We sent
'Īsā (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel).
And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him, compassion and mercy.
But the monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe
for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allâh therewith, but they did not
observe it with the right observance. So We gave those among them who believed,
their (due) reward, but many of them are Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to
Allâh). (27) O you who believe [in Mûsa (Moses) (i.e. Jews) and
'Īsā (Jesus) (i.e. Christians)]! Fear Allâh, and believe in His
Messenger (Muhammad SAW), He will give you a double portion of His Mercy, and
He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), and He will
forgive you. And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[] (28) So that the people of
the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may know that they have no power whatsoever
over the Grace of Allâh, and that (His) Grace is (entirely) in His Hand to
bestow it on whomsoever He wills. And Allâh is the Owner of Great Bounty. (29)
