يٰۗاَيُّھَا الرَّسُوْلُ لَا يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِيْنَ يُسَارِعُوْنَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوْۗا اٰمَنَّا بِاَفْوَاہِہِمْ وَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوْبُہُمْ ۝۰ۚۛ وَمِنَ الَّذِيْنَ ہَادُوْا۝۰ۚۛ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لِلْكَذِبِ سَمّٰعُوْنَ لِقَوْمٍ اٰخَرِيْنَ۝۰ۙ لَمْ يَاْتُوْكَ۝۰ۭ يُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَوَاضِعِہٖ۝۰ۚ يَقُوْلُوْنَ اِنْ اُوْتِيْتُمْ ہٰذَا فَخُذُوْہُ وَاِنْ لَّمْ تُؤْتَوْہُ فَاحْذَرُوْا۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يُّرِدِ اللہُ فِتْنَتَہٗ فَلَنْ تَمْلِكَ لَہٗ مِنَ اللہِ شَـيْـــــًٔـا۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَمْ يُرِدِ اللہُ اَنْ يُّطَہِّرَ قُلُوْبَہُمْ۝۰ۭ لَہُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ۝۰ۚۖ وَّلَہُمْ فِي الْاٰخِرَۃِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيْمٌ۝۴۱

Ahmed Ali

Be not grieved, O Apostle, by those who hasten to outrace others in denial, and say with their tongues: "We believe," but do not believe in their hearts. And those of the Jews who listen to tell lies, and spy on behalf of others who do not come to you, and who distort the words (of the Torah) out of context, and say: "If you are given (what we say is true) accept it; but if you are not given it, beware." You cannot intercede with God for him whom God would not show the way. These are the people whose hearts God does not wish to purify. For them is ignominy in this world and punishment untold in the next --

سَمّٰعُوْنَ لِلْكَذِبِ اَكّٰلُوْنَ لِلسُّحْتِ۝۰ۭ فَاِنْ جَاۗءُوْكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَہُمْ اَوْ اَعْرِضْ عَنْہُمْ۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْہُمْ فَلَنْ يَّضُرُّوْكَ شَـيْـــًٔـا۝۰ۭ وَاِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَہُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِيْنَ۝۴۲

English

Ahmed Ali

Eavesdropping for telling lies, earning through unlawful means! So, if they come to you, judge between them or decline. And if you decline, they can do you no harm; but if you judge, you should do so with justice, for God loves those who are just.

42

وَكَيْفَ يُحَكِّمُوْنَكَ وَعِنْدَہُمُ التَّوْرٰىۃُ فِيْہَا حُكْمُ اللہِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ۝۰ۭ وَمَاۗ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ۝۴۳ۧ
Wakayfa yuhakkimoonaka waAAindahumu alttawratu feeha hukmu Allahi thumma yatawallawna min baAAdi thalika wama olaika bialmumineena

English

Ahmed Ali

But why should they make you a judge when the Torah is with them which contains the Law of God? Even then they turn away. They are those who will never believe.

43

English

Ahmed Ali

We sent down the Torah which contains guidance and light, in accordance with which the prophets who were obedient (to God) gave instructions to the Jews, as did the rabbis and priests, for they were the custodians and witnesses of God's writ. So, therefore, do not fear men, fear Me, and barter not My messages away for a paltry gain. Those who do not judge by God's revelations are infidels indeed.

44

وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْہِمْ فِيْہَاۗ اَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ۝۰ۙ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ وَالْاَنْفَ بِالْاَنْفِ وَالْاُذُنَ بِالْاُذُنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّ۝۰ۙ وَالْجُرُوْحَ قِصَاصٌ۝۰ۭ فَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِہٖ فَہُوَكَفَّارَۃٌ لَّہٗ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ فَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ ہُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۴۵
Wakatabna AAalayhim feeha anna alnnafsa bialnnafsi waalAAayna bialAAayni waalanfa bialanfi waalothuna bialothuni waalssinna bialssinni waaljurooha qisasun faman tasaddaqa bihi fahuwa kaffaratun lahu waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alththalimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

And there (in the Torah) We had ordained for them a life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds retribution, though he who forgoes it out of charity, atones for his sins. And those who do not judge by God's revelations are unjust.

45

وَقَفَّيْنَا عَلٰۗي اٰثَارِہِمْ بِعِيْسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْہِ مِنَ التَّوْرٰىۃِ۝۰۠ وَاٰتَيْنٰہُ الْاِنْجِيْلَ فِيْہِ ہُدًى وَّنُوْرٌ۝۰ۙ وَّمُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْہِ مِنَ التَّوْرٰىۃِ وَہُدًى وَّمَوْعِظَۃً لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ۝۴۶ۭ

English

Ahmed Ali

Later, in the train (of the prophets), We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah which had been (Sent down) before him, and gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light, which corroborated the earlier Torah, a guidance and warning for those who preserve themselves from evil and follow the straight path.

46

وَلْيَحْكُمْ اَہْلُ الْاِنْجِيْلِ بِمَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ فِيْہِ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ فَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ ہُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ۝۴۷
Walyahkum ahlu alinjeeli bima anzala Allahu feehi waman lam yahkum bima anzala Allahu faolaika humu alfasiqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Let the people of the Gospel judge by what has been revealed in it by God. And those who do not judge in accordance with what God has revealed are transgressors.

47

وَاَنْزَلْنَاۗ اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْہِ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَمُہَيْمِنًا عَلَيْہِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَہُمْ بِمَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَہْوَاۗءَہُمْ عَمَّا جَاۗءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ۝۰ۭ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ شِرْعَۃً وَّمِنْہَاجًا۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ اُمَّۃً وَّاحِدَۃً وَّلٰكِنْ لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِيْ مَاۗ اٰتٰىكُمْ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرٰتِ۝۰ۭ اِلَى اللہِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيْعًا فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ فِيْہِ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ۝۴۸ۙ

English

Ahmed Ali

And to you We have revealed the Book containing the truth, confirming the earlier revelations, and preserving them (from change and corruption). So judge between them by what has been revealed by God, and do not follow their whims, side-stepping the truth that has reached you. To each of you We have given a law and a way and a pattern of life. If God had pleased He could surely have made you one people (professing one faith). But He wished to try and test you by that which He gave you. So try to excel in good deeds. To Him will you all return in the end, when He will tell you of what you were at variance.

48

وَاَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَہُمْ بِمَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَہْوَاۗءَہُمْ وَاحْذَرْہُمْ اَنْ يَّفْتِنُوْكَ عَنْۢ بَعْضِ مَاۗ اَنْزَلَ اللہُ اِلَيْكَ۝۰ۭ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّمَا يُرِيْدُ اللہُ اَنْ يُّصِيْبَہُمْ بِبَعْضِ ذُنُوْبِہِمْ۝۰ۭ وَاِنَّ كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ لَفٰسِقُوْنَ۝۴۹
Waani ohkum baynahum bima anzala Allahu wala tattabiAA ahwaahum waihtharhum an yaftinooka AAan baAAdi ma anzala Allahu ilayka fain tawallaw faiAAlam annama yureedu Allahu an yuseebahum bibaAAdi thunoobihim wainna katheeran mina alnnasi lafasiqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Judge between them in the light of what has been revealed by God, and do not follow their whims, and beware of them lest they lead you away from the guidance sent down to you by God. If they turn away, then know that God is sure to punish them for some of their sins; and many of them are transgressors.

49

اَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاہِلِيَّۃِ يَبْغُوْنَ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ اَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللہِ حُكْمًا لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَ۝۵۰ۧ
Afahukma aljahiliyyati yabghoona waman ahsanu mina Allahu hukman liqawmin yooqinoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Do they seek a judgement of the days of pagan ignorance? But who could be a better judge than God for those who are firm in their faith?
