[4:60]
Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they
believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before
thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when
they have been ordered to abjure them ? Satan would
mislead them far astray.
[4:61]
And when it is said unto them: Come unto that
which Allah hath revealed and unto the messenger, thou seest the hypocrites
turn from thee with aversion.
[4:62]
How would it be if a misfortune smote them
because of that which their own hands have sent before (them)
? Then would they come unto thee, swearing by Allah that they were
seeking naught but harmony and kindness.
[4:63]
Those are they, the secrets of whose hearts
Allah knoweth. So oppose them and admonish them, and address them in plain
terms about their souls.
[4:64]
We sent no messenger save that he should be
obeyed by Allah’s leave. And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but
come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the
messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
[4:65]
But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in
truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find
within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full
submission.
