[4:171]
O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in
your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah,
Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He
conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His
messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it
is) better for you! - Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His
Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the
heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
[4:172]
The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto
Allah, nor will the favoured angels. Whoso scorneth His service and is proud,
all such will He assemble unto Him;
[4:173]
Then, as for those who believed and did good
works, unto them will He pay their wages in full, adding unto them of His
bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, them will He punish with
a painful doom. And they will not find for them, against Allah, any protecting
friend or helper.
[4:174]
O mankind! Now hath a proof from your Lord come
unto you, and We have sent down unto you a clear
light;
[4:175]
As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast
unto Him, them He will cause to enter into His mercy and grace, and will guide
them unto Him by a straight road.
