[4:155]
Then because of their breaking of their
covenant, and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and their slaying
of the prophets wrongfully, and their saying: Our hearts are hardened - Nay, but
Allah set a seal upon them for their disbelief, so that they believe not save a
few -
[4:156]
And because of their disbelief and of their
speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny;
[4:157]
And because of their saying: We slew the
Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger - they slew him not nor crucified
him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who
disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof
save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.
[4:158]
But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was
ever Mighty, Wise.
[4:159]
There is not one of the People of the Scripture
but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he
will be a witness against them -
[4:160]
Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews We forbade
them good things which were (before) made lawful unto them, and because of
their much hindering from Allah’s way,
[4:161]
And of their taking usury when they were
forbidden it, and of their devouring people’s wealth by false pretences, We have prepared for those of them who disbelieve a painful
doom.
[4:162]
But those of them who are firm in knowledge and
the believers believe in that which is revealed unto thee, and that which was
revealed before thee, especially the diligent in prayer and those who pay the
poor- due, the believers in Allah and the Last Day. Upon these We shall bestow immense reward.
