Ahmed Ali

God covenanted the people of Israel and raised twelve leaders among them, and said: "I shall verily be with you. If you fulfil your devotional obligations, pay the zakat and believe in My apostles and support them, and give a goodly loan to God, I shall certainly absolve you of your evil, and admit you to gardens with streams of running water. But whosoever among you denies after this, will have wandered away from the right path."

12

فَبِمَا نَقْضِہِمْ مِّيْثَاقَہُمْ لَعَنّٰہُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوْبَہُمْ قٰسِـيَۃً۝۰ۚ يُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَّوَاضِعِہٖ۝۰ۙ وَنَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلٰي خَاۗىِٕنَۃٍ مِّنْہُمْ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّنْہُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنْہُمْ وَاصْفَحْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ۝۱۳

Ahmed Ali

When they dishonoured their pledge We condemned them, and hardened their hearts. So they distort the words of the Scripture out of context, and have forgotten some of what they were warned against. You will always hear of treachery on their part except that of a few. But forbear and forgive them, for God loves those who do good.

13

وَمِنَ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوْۗا اِنَّا نَصٰرٰۗى اَخَذْنَا مِيْثَاقَہُمْ فَنَسُوْا حَظًّا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُوْا بِہٖ۝۰۠ فَاَغْرَيْنَا بَيْنَہُمُ الْعَدَاوَۃَ وَالْبَغْضَاۗءَ اِلٰي يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَۃِ۝۰ۭ وَسَوْفَ يُنَبِّئُہُمُ اللہُ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَصْنَعُوْنَ۝۱۴

English

Ahmed Ali

We had taken the pledge of those also who call themselves Christians. But they too forgot to take advantage of the warning they were given. So We have caused enmity and hatred among them to last till the Day of Resurrection, when God will inform them of what they were doing.

14

يٰۗاَہْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَاۗءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا يُـبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيْرًا مِّمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُوْنَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَيَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِيْرٍ۝۰ۥۭ قَدْ جَاۗءَكُمْ مِّنَ اللہِ نُوْرٌ وَّكِتٰبٌ مُّبِيْنٌ۝۱۵ۙ

English

Ahmed Ali

O people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you, announcing many things of the Scriptures that you have suppressed, passing over some others. To you has come light and a clear Book from God

15

يَّہْدِيْ بِہِ اللہُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَہٗ سُـبُلَ السَّلٰمِ وَيُخْرِجُہُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ بِـاِذْنِہٖ وَيَہْدِيْہِمْ اِلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ۝۱۶
Yahdee bihi Allahu mani ittabaAAa ridwanahu subula alssalami wayukhrijuhum mina alththulumati ila alnnoori biithnihi wayahdeehim ila siratin mustaqeemin

English

Ahmed Ali

Through which God will lead those who follow His pleasure to the path of peace, and guide them out of darkness into light by His will, and to the path that is straight.

16

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوْۗا اِنَّ اللہَ ہُوَالْمَسِيْحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ۝۰ۭ قُلْ فَمَنْ يَّمْلِكُ مِنَ اللہِ شَـيْـــًٔـا اِنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يُّہْلِكَ الْمَسِيْحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَاُمَّہٗ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا۝۰ۭ وَلِلہِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَہُمَا۝۰ۭ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۝۱۷

English

Ahmed Ali

Verily they are unbelievers who say: "The Messiah, son of Mary, is God." You ask them: "Who could prevail against God if He had chosen to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and the rest of mankind?" For God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lies between them. He creates what He please, for God has the power over all things.

17

وَقَالَتِ الْيَھُوْدُ وَالنَّصٰرٰى نَحْنُ اَبْنٰۗؤُا اللہِ وَاَحِبَّاۗؤُہٗ۝۰ۭ قُلْ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُمْ بِذُنُوْبِكُمْ۝۰ۭ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ۝۰ۭ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَلِلہِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَہُمَا۝۰ۡوَاِلَيْہِ الْمَصِيْرُ۝۱۸
Waqalati alyahoodu waalnnasara nahnu abnao Allahi waahibbaohu qul falima yuAAaththibukum bithunoobikum bal antum basharun mimman khalaqa yaghfiru liman yashao wayuAAaththibu man yashao walillahi mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma wailayhi almaseeru

English

Ahmed Ali

Say the Jews and the Christians: "We are sons of God and beloved of Him." Say: "Why does He punish you then for your sins? No: You are only mortals, of His creation." He can punish whom He please and pardon whom He will, for God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, and everything will go back to Him.

18

يٰۗاَہْلَ الْكِتٰبِ قَدْ جَاۗءَكُمْ رَسُوْلُنَا يُـبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلٰي فَتْرَۃٍ مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا مَا جَاۗءَنَا مِنْۢ بَشِيْرٍ وَّلَا نَذِيْرٍ۝۰ۡفَقَدْ جَاۗءَكُمْ بَشِيْرٌ وَّنَذِيْرٌ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۝۱۹ۧ

English

Ahmed Ali

O you people of the Book, Our Apostle has come to you when apostles had ceased to come long ago, lest you said: "There did not come to us any messenger of good news or of warnings." So now there has reached you a bearer of good tidings and of warnings; for God has the power over all things.

19

وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِہٖ يٰقَوْمِ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَۃَ اللہِ عَلَيْكُمْ اِذْ جَعَلَ فِيْكُمْ اَنْۢبِيَاۗءَ وَجَعَلَكُمْ مُّلُوْكًا۝۰ۤۖ وَّاٰتٰىكُمْ مَّا لَمْ يُؤْتِ اَحَدًا مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ۝۲۰
Waith qala moosa liqawmihi ya qawmi othkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum ith jaAAala feekum anbiyaa wajaAAalakum mulookan waatakum ma lam yuti ahadan mina alAAalameena

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember when Moses said to his people: "O my people, remember the favours that God bestowed on you when He appointed apostles from among you, and made you kings and gave you what had never been given to any one in the world.

20

يٰقَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْاَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَۃَ الَّتِيْ كَتَبَ اللہُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَدُّوْا عَلٰۗي اَدْبَارِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوْا خٰسِرِيْنَ۝۲۱
Ya qawmi odkhuloo alarda almuqaddasata allatee kataba Allahu lakum wala tartaddoo AAala adbarikum fatanqaliboo khasireena

English

Ahmed Ali

Enter then, my people, the Holy Land that God has ordained for you, and do not turn back, or you will suffer."
