PART 4

[3:92]

Ye will not attain unto piety until ye spend of that which ye love. And whatsoever ye spend, Allah is Aware thereof.

[3:93]

All food was lawful unto the Children of Israel, save that which Israel forbade himself, (in days) before the Torah was revealed. Say: Produce the Torah and read it (unto us) if ye are truthful.

[3:94]

And whoever shall invent a falsehood after that concerning Allah, such will be wrong-doers.

[3:95]

Say: Allah speaketh truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, the upright. He was not of the idolaters.

[3:96]

Lo! the first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Becca, a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples;

[3:97]

Wherein are plain memorials (of Allah’s guidance); the place where Abraham stood up to pray; and whosoever entereth it is safe. And pilgrimage to the House is a duty unto Allah for mankind, for him who can find a way thither. As for him who disbelieveth, (let him know that) lo! Allah is Independent of (all) creatures.

[3:98]

Say: O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve ye in the revelations of Allah, when Allah (Himself) is Witness of what ye do ?

[3:99]

Say: O People of the Scripture! Why drive ye back believers from the way of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, when ye are witnesses (to Allah’s guidance) ? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.

[3:100]

O ye who believe! If ye obey a party of those who have received the Scripture they will make you disbelievers after your belief.
