This is what God spoke to Bani Israel through
Prophet Muhammad about 1400 years ago.
Chapter 2 - al Baqarah
40. O Children of Israel, remember My favour
which I have bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant [upon you] that I
will fulfill your covenant [from Me], and be afraid of [only] Me.
41. And believe in what I have sent down
confirming that which is [already] with you, and be not the first to disbelieve
in it. And do not exchange My signs for a small price, and fear [only] Me.
42. And do not mix the truth with falsehood
or conceal the truth while you know [it].
43. And establish prayer and give zakah and
bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].
44. Do you order righteousness of the
people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not
reason?
45. And seek help through patience and
prayer; and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah]
46. Who are certain that they will meet
their Lord and that they will return to Him.
47. O Children of Israel, remember My favour
that I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds [i.e.,
peoples].
48. And fear a Day when no soul will
suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor
will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.
49. And [recall] when We saved you [i.e.,
your forefathers] from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with the worst
torment, slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And
in that was a great trial from your Lord.
50. And [recall] when We parted the sea for
you and saved you and drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were looking on.
51. And [recall] when We made an
appointment with Moses for forty nights. Then you took [for worship] the calf
after him [i.e., his departure], while you were wrongdoers.
52. Then We forgave you after that so
perhaps you would be grateful.
53. And [recall] when We gave Moses the
Scripture and criterion that perhaps you would be guided.
54. And [recall] when Moses said to his
people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of
the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e.,
the guilty among you]. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your
Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of
repentance, the Merciful.
55. And [recall] when you said, "O
Moses, we will never believe you until we see Allah outright"; so the
thunderbolt took you while you were looking on.
56. Then We revived you after your death
that perhaps you would be grateful.
57. And We shaded you with clouds and sent
down to you manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with
which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not – but they were
[only] wronging themselves.
58. And [recall] when We said, "Enter
this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and]
abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens
[i.e., sins].' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase
the dars of good [in goodness and reward]."
59. But those who wronged changed [those
words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them, so We sent
down upon those who wronged a punishment [i.e., plague] from the sky because
they were defiantly disobeying.
60. And [recall] when Moses prayed for
water for his people, so We said, "Strike with your staff the stone."
And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people [i.e., tribe]
knew its watering place. "Eat and drink from the provision of Allah and do
not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."
61. And [recall] when you said, "O
Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring
forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic
and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange
what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will
have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and
poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because
they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs
of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed
and were [habitually] transgressing.
62. Indeed, those who believed and those
who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad ] those [among them] who believed in Allah
and the Last Day and did righteousness – will have their reward with their
Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
63. And [recall] when We took your
covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you
the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember
what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."
64. Then you turned away after that. And if
not for the favour of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the
losers.
65. And you had already known about those
who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them,
"Be apes, despised."
66. And We made it a deterrent punishment
for those who were present and those who succeeded [them] and a lesson for those
who fear Allah.
67. And [recall] when Moses said to his
people, "Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow." They said,
"Do you take us in ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allah
from being among the ignorant."
68. They said, "Call upon your Lord to
make clear to us what it is." [Moses] said, "[Allah] says, 'It is a
cow which is neither old nor virgin, but median between that,' so do what you
are commanded."
69. They said, "Call upon your Lord to
show us what is her color." He said, "He says, 'It is a yellow cow,
bright in color – pleasing to the observers.' "
70. They said, "Call upon your Lord to
make clear to us what it is. Indeed, [all] cows look alike to us. And indeed
we, if Allah wills, will be guided."
71. He said, "He says, 'It is a cow
neither trained to plow the earth nor to irrigate the field, one free from
fault with no spot upon her.' " They said, "Now you have come with
the truth." So they slaughtered her, but they could hardly do it.
72. And [recall] when you slew a man and
disputed over it, but Allah was to bring out that which you were concealing.
73. So We said, "Strike him [i.e., the
slain man] with part of it." Thus das Allah bring the dead to life, and He
shows you His signs that you might reason.
74. Then your hearts became hardened after
that, being like stones or even harder. For indeed, there are stones from which
rivers burst forth, and there are some of them that split open and water comes
out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allah. And Allah is
not unaware of what you do.
75. Do you covet [the hope, O believers],
that they would believe for you while a party of them used to hear the words of
Allah and then distort it [i.e., the Torah] after they had understood it while
they were knowing?
76. And when they meet those who believe,
they say, "We have believed"; but when they are alone with one
another, they say, "Do you talk to them about what Allah has revealed to
you so they can argue with you about it before your Lord?" Then will you
not reason?
77. But do they not know that Allah knows
what they conceal and what they declare?
78. And among them are unlettered ones who
do not know the Scripture except [indulgement in] wishful thinking, but they are
only assuming.
79. So woe to those who write the
"scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allah"
in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands
have written and woe to them for what they earn.
80. And they say, "Never will the Fire
touch us, except for [a few] numbered days." Say, "Have you taken a
covenant with Allah? For Allah will never break His covenant. Or do you say
about Allah that which you do not know?"
81. Yes, [on the contrary], Whoever earns
evil and his sin has encompassed him – those are the companions of the Fire;
they will abide therein eternally.
82. But they who believe and do righteous
deeds – those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein
eternally.
83. And [recall] when We took the covenant
from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except
Allah; and to parents do good and to relatives, orphans, and the needy. And
speak to people good [words] and establish prayer and give zakah." Then you turned away, except a few of you,
and you were refusing.
84. And [recall] when We took your
covenant, [saying], "Do not shed your [i.e., each other's] blood or evict
one another from your homes." Then you acknowledged [this] while you were witnessing.
85. Then, you are those [same ones who are]
killing one another and evicting a party of your people from their homes,
cooperating against them in sin and aggression. And if they come to you as
captives, you ransom them, although their eviction was forbidden to you. So do
you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the
recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and
on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of
punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
86. Those are the ones who have bought the
life of this world [in exchange] for the Hereafter, so the punishment will not
be lightened for them, nor will they be aided.
87. And We did certainly give Moses the Scripture [i.e., the Torah] and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel]. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you, [O Children of Israel], with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party [of messengers] you denied and another party you killed.
88. And they said, "Our hearts are
wrapped." But, [in fact], Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so
little is it that they believe.
89. And when there came to them a Book [i.e., the Quran] from Allah confirming that which was with them – although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved – but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers.
90. How wretched is that for which they sold themselves – that they would disbelieve in what Allah has revealed through [their] outrage that Allah would send down His favour upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
91. And when it is said to them,
"Believe in what Allah has revealed," they say, "We believe
[only] in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what came after
it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then
why did you kill the prophets of Allah before, if you are [indeed]
believers?"
92. And Moses had certainly brought you
clear proofs. Then you took the calf [in worship] after that, while you were wrongdoers.
93. And [recall] when We took your covenant
and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with
determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey."
And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief.
Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you
should be believers."
94. Say, [O Muhammad], "If the home of
the Hereafter with Allah is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish
for death, if you should be truthful."
95. But never will they wish for it, ever,
because of what their hands have put forth. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
96. And you will surely find them the most
greedy of people for life – [even] more than those who associate others with Allah.
One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would
not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be
granted life. And Allah is Seeing of what they do.
97. Say, "Whoever is an enemy to
Gabriel – it is [none but] he who has brought it [i.e., the Quran] down upon
your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah confirming that which was
before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers."
98. Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His
angels and His messengers and Gabriel and Michael – then indeed, Allah is an
enemy to the disbelievers.
99. And We have certainly revealed to you
verses [which are] clear proofs, and no one would deny them except the
defiantly disobedient.
100. Is it not [true] that every time they
took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do
not believe.
101. And when a messenger from Allah came
to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been
given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allah [i.e., the Torah] behind their
backs as if they did not know [what it contained].
102. And they followed [instead] what the
devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who
disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was
revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Haroot and Maroot. But they [i.e., the
two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do
not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that
by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm
anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And they [i.e., people] learn
what harms them and does not benefit them. But they [i.e., the Children of
Israel] certainly knew that Whoever
purchased it
[i.e., magic] would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that
for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.
103. And if they had believed and feared Allah
then the reward from Allah would have been [far] better, if they only knew.
104. O you who have believed, say not [to Allah's
Messenger], “Raina” but say “Unthurna” and
listen. And for
the disbelievers is a painful punishment.
105. Neither those who disbelieve from the
People of the Scripture [i.e., the Jews and Christians] nor the polytheists
wish that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allah selects
for His mercy whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.
106. We do not abrogate a verse or cause it
to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to
it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?
107. Do you not know that to Allah belongs
the dominion of the heavens and the earth and [that] you have not besides Allah
any protector or any helper?
108. Or do you intend to ask your Messenger
as Moses was asked before? And Whoever exchanges faith for disbelief has
certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.
109. Many of the People of the Scripture
wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy
from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and
overlook until Allah delivers His command.
Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
110. And establish prayer and give zakah, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves –
you will find it with Allah. Indeed Allah of what you do, is Seeing.
111. And they say, "None will enter
Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their
wishful thinking. Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be
truthful."
112. Yes, [on the contrary], Whoever
submits his face [i.e., self] in Islam to Allah while being a doer of good will have his reward with his
Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
246. Have
you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of]
Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we
will fight in the way of Allah"? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain
from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "And
why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from
our homes and from our children?" But when fighting was prescribed for
them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the
wrongdoers.
Chapter 5 – al-Maidah
12. And Allah had already taken a covenant from the Children of Israel,
and We delegated from among them twelve leaders. And Allah said, "I am with you. If you establish prayer
and give zakah and believe in My messengers and support them and
loan Allah a goodly loan, I will surely remove from
you your misdeeds and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. But Whoever
of you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the soundness of the
way."
13. So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hardened. They distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.
14. And from those who say, "We are Christians"
We took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded.
So We caused among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. And
Allah is going to inform them about what they used to do.
15. O People of the Scripture, there has
come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal
of the Scripture and overlooking much. There has come to you from Allah a light
and a clear Book [i.e., the Quran]
16. By which Allah guides those who pursue
His pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from darknesses into the light,
by His permission, and guides them to a straight path.
17. They have certainly disbelieved who say
that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allah
at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or
everyone on the earth?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens
and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allah
is over all things competent.
18. But the Jews and the Christians say,
"We are the children of Allah and His beloved." Say, "Then why das He punish you for your sins?" Rather, you are
human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He
punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and
the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [final] destination.
19. O People of the Scripture, there has
come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you [the religion] after a period
[of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any
bringer of good tidings or a warner." But there has come to you a bringer
of good tidings and a warner. And Allah is over all things competent.
20. And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses
said to his people, "O my people, remember the favour of Allah upon you
when He appointed among you prophets and made you
possessors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds.
21. O my people, enter the Holy Land [i.e.,
Palestine] which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting
in Allah's cause] and [thus] become losers."
22. They said, "O Moses, indeed within
it is a people of tyrannical strength, and indeed, we will never enter it until
they leave it; but if they leave it, then we will enter."
23. Said two men from those who feared [to
disobey] upon whom Allah had bestowed favour,
"Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will
be predominant. And upon Allah rely, if you should be believers."
24. They said, "O Moses, indeed we
will not enter it, ever, as long as they are within it; so go, you and your
Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right here."
25. [Moses] said, "My Lord, indeed I
do not possess [i.e., control] except myself and my brother, so part us from
the defiantly disobedient people."
26. [Allah] said, "Then indeed, it is forbidden to them
for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not
grieve over the defiantly disobedient people."
32. Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And Our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.
70. We had already taken the covenant of
the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them
a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they
denied, and another party they killed.
71. And they thought there would be no
[resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allah turned to
them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah
is Seeing of what they do.
72. They have certainly disbelieved who
say, "Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has
said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord."
Indeed, he who associates others with Allah – Allah has forbidden him Paradise,
and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
73. They have certainly disbelieved who
say, "Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one
God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely
afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
74. So will they not repent to Allah and
seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
75. The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a
messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter
of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs;
then look how they are deluded.
76. Say, "Do you worship besides Allah
that which holds for you no [power of] harm or benefit while it is Allah who is
the Hearing, the Knowing?"
77. Say, "O People of the Scripture,
do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the
inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have
strayed from the soundness of the way."
78. Cursed were those who disbelieved among
the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary.
That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.
82. You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.
Chapter 10 – al-Tawbah
90. And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers pursued them in tyranny and enmity until, when drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims."
91. Now? And you had disobeyed [Him] before
and were of the corrupters?
92. So today We will save you in body that
you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of
Our signs, are heedless.
93. And We had certainly settled the
Children of Israel in an agreeable settlement and provided them with good
things. And they did not differ until [after] knowledge had come to them. Indeed,
your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that
over which they used to differ.
94. So if you are in doubt, [O Muhammad],
about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the
Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so
never be among the doubters.
Chapter 17 – al-Isra
2. And We gave Moses the Scripture and made
it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer
of affairs,
3. O descendants of those We carried [in
the ship] with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.
4. And We conveyed to the Children of
Israel in the Scripture that, "You will surely cause corruption on the
earth twice, and you will surely reach [a degree of] great haughtiness."
5. So when the [time of] promise came for
the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours – those of great
military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled.
6. Then We gave back to you a return
victory over them. And We reinforced you with wealth and sons and made you more
numerous in manpower.
7. [And said], "If you do good, you do
good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to them [i.e.,
yourselves]." Then when the final [i.e., second] promise came, [We sent
your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the masjid [i.e., the temple in
Jerusalem], as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had
taken over with [total] destruction.
8. [Then Allah said], "It is expected,
[if you repent], that your Lord will have mercy upon you. But if you return [to
sin], We will return [to punishment]. And We have made Hell, for the disbelievers,
a prison-bed."
101. And We had certainly given Moses nine
evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh
said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by
magic."
102. [Moses] said, "You have already
known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and
the earth as evidence, and indeed I think, O Pharaoh, that you are
destroyed."
103. So he intended to drive them from the
land, but We drowned him and those with him all together.
104. And We said after him [i.e., Pharaoh]
to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the
promise [i.e., appointment] of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one]
gathering."
Chapter 19 – Marium
58. Those were the ones upon whom Allah
bestowed favour from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those
We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and
Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most
Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.
Chapter 20 – Ta-Ha
47. So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are
messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not
torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be
upon he who follows the guidance.
80. O Children of Israel, We delivered you
from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount,
and We sent down to you manna and quails,
81. [Saying], "Eat from the good
things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress
others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My
anger descends has certainly fallen [i.e., perished]."
92. [Moses] said, "O Aaron, what
prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
93. From following me? Then have you
disobeyed my order?"
94. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother,
do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would
say,
Chapter 26 – ash-Shura
192. And indeed, it [i.e., the Quran] is
the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
193. The Trustworthy Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]
has brought it down
194. Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] – that
you may be of the warners –
195. In a clear Arabic language.
196. And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the
scriptures of former peoples.
197. And has it not been a sign to them
that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
Chapter 27 – an-Namal
76. Indeed, this Quran relates to the
Children of Israel most of that over which they disagree.
77. And indeed, it is guidance and mercy
for the believers.
Chapter 40 - Ghafir
53. And We had certainly given Moses
guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture
54. As guidance and a reminder for those of
understanding.
Chapter 44 – ad-Dukhan
30. And We certainly saved the Children of
Israel from the humiliating torment –
31. From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty
one among the transgressors.
32. And We certainly chose them by
knowledge over [all] the worlds.
33. And We gave them of signs that in which
there was a clear trial.
Chapter 45 – al-Jathiya
16. And We did certainly give the Children
of Israel the Scripture and judgement and prophethood, and We provided them
with good things and preferred them over the worlds.
17. And We gave them clear proofs of the
matter [of religion]. And they did not differ except after knowledge had come
to them – out of jealous animosity between themselves. Indeed, your Lord will
judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they
used to differ.
Chapter 46 – al-Ahqaf
10. Say, "Have you considered: if it
[i.e., the Quran] was from Allah, and you disbelieved in it while a witness
from the Children of Israel has testified to something similar and believed
while you were arrogant...?" Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing
people.
Chapter 61 – as-Saff
6. And [mention] when Jesus, the son of
Mary, said, "O Children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to
you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a
messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them
with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."
14. O you who have believed, be supporters
of Allah, as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, "Who are
my supporters for Allah?" The disciples said, "We are supporters of
Allah." And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction
disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they
became dominant.

the Holy Quran)
