Those (who embraced Islam from Bani Israel) to whom We gave the Book [the Taurat (Torah)] [or those (Muhammad's Peace be upon him companions) to whom We have given the Book (the Qur'an)] recite it (i.e. obey its orders and follow its teachings) as it should be recited (i.e. followed), they are the ones that believe therein. And whoso disbelieves in it (the Qur'an), those are they who are the losers. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi. Vol. 2, Page 95).

O Children of Israel! Remember My Favour which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you to the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of your time-period, in the past).

And fear the Day (of Judgement) when no person shall avail another, nor shall compensation be accepted from him, nor shall intercession be of use to him, nor shall they be helped.

And (remember) when the Lord of Ibrahim (Abraham) [i.e., Allah] tried him with (certain) Commands, which he fulfilled. He (Allah) said (to him), "Verily, I am going to make you a leader (Prophet) of mankind." [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said, "And of my offspring (to make leaders)." (Allah) said, "My Covenant (Prophethood, etc.) includes not Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."

And (remember) when We made the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibrahim (Abraham) stood while he was building the Ka'bah] as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers, e.g. two Rak'at after the Tawaf of the Ka'bah at Makkah), and We commanded Ibrahim (Abraham) and Isma'il (Ishmael) that they should purify My House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) for those who are circumambulating it, or staying (I'tikaf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there, in prayer).

And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said, "My Lord, make this city (Makkah) a place of security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day." He (Allah) answered: "As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!"

And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) and (his son) Isma'il (Ishmael) were raising the foundations of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah), (saying), "Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."

And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya'qub (Jacob), (saying), "O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims - Islamic Monotheism)."

Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya'qub (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, "What will you worship after me?"

And they say, "Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided." Say (to them, O Muhammad Peace be upon him ), "Nay, (We follow) only the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham), Hanifa [Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allah (Alone)], and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (those who worshipped others along with Allah - see V.2:105)."

We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."

Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him to the Jews and Christians), "Dispute you with us about Allah while He is our Lord and your Lord? And we are to be rewarded for our deeds and you for your deeds.

The fools (pagans, hypocrites, and Jews) among the people will say, "What has turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah [prayer direction (towards Jerusalem)] to which they were used to face in prayer." Say, (O Muhammad ) "To Allah belong both, east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a Straight Way."

Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) be a witness over you. And We made the Qiblah (prayer direction towards Jerusalem) which you used to face, only to test those who followed the Messenger (Muhammad) from those who would turn on their heels (i.e. disobey the Messenger). Indeed it was great (heavy) except for those whom Allah guided. And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, Allah is full of kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind.

Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid- al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction. Certainly, the people who were given the Scriptures (i.e. Jews and the Christians) know well that, that (your turning towards the direction of the Ka'bah at Makkah in prayers) is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.

And even if you were to bring to the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) all the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they would not follow your Qiblah (prayer direction), nor are you going to follow their Qiblah (prayer direction). And they will not follow each other's Qiblah (prayer direction). Verily, if you follow their desires after that which you have received of knowledge (from Allah), then indeed you will be one of the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.).

Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad or the Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recongise their sons.

Kama 'Arsalna Fikum Rasūlaan Minkum Yatlū `Alaykum 'Āyatina Wa Yuzakkikum Wa Yu`allimukumu Al-Kitaba Wa Al-Ĥikmata Wa Yu`allimukum Ma Lam Takūnū Ta`lamūna

فَاذكُرُونِي أَذكُركُم وَاشكُرُوا لِي وَلاَ تَكفُرُونِ

Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.

Fadhkurūni 'Adhkurkum Wa Ashkurū Li Wa La Takfurūni

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا استَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلاَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salat (the prayer). Truly! Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

Ya 'Ayyuha Al-Ladhina 'Āmanū Asta`inū Biş-Şabri Wa Aş-Şalaati 'Inna Allaha Ma`a Aş-Şabirina

وَلاَ تَقُولُوا لِمَنيُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَموَات ٌ بَل أَحيَاء ٌ وَلَكِنلاَ تَشعُرُونَ

And say not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah, "They are dead." Nay, they are living, but you perceive (it) not.

Wa La Taqūlū Liman Yuqtalu Fi Sabili Allahi 'Amwatun Bal 'Aĥya'un Wa Lakin La Tash`urūna

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمبِشَيء ٍ مِنَ الخَوفِ وَالجُوعِ وَنَقْص ٍ مِنَ الأَموالِ وَالأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ

And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

Wa Lanabluwannakum Bishay'in Mina Al-Khawfi Wa Al-Jū`i Wa Naqşin Mina Al-'Amwli Wa Al-'Anfusi Wa Ath-Thamarati Wa Bashshiri Aş-Şabirina

الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتهُممُصِيبَة ٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return."

Al-Ladhina 'Idha 'Aşabat/hum Muşibatun Qalū 'Inna Lillahi Wa 'Inna 'Ilayhi Raji`ūna

أُولَائِكَ عَلَيهِم صَلَوَات ٌ مِنرَبِّهِم وَرَحمَة ٌ وَأُولَائِكَ هُمُ المُهتَدُونَ

They are those on whom are the Salawat (i.e. blessings, etc.) (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided-ones.

'Ūla'ika `Alayhim Şalawatun Min Rabbihim Wa Raĥmatun Wa 'Ūla'ika Humu Al-Muhtadūna

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالمَروَةَ مِنشَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَن حَجَّ البَيتَ أَو اعتَمَرَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيهِ أَنيَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَنتَطَوَّعَ خَيرا ً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيم ٌ

Verily! As-Safa and Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who perform Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawaf) between them (As-Safa and Al-Marwah). And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allah is All-Recogniser, All-Knower.

'Inna Aş-Şafa Wa Al-Marwata Min Sha`a'iri Allahi Faman Ĥajja Al-Bayta 'Aw A`tamara Fala Junaĥa `Alayhi 'An Yaţţawwafa Bihima Wa Man Taţawwa`a Khayraan Fa'inna Allaha Shakirun `Alimun

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكتُمُونَ مَا أَنزَلنَا مِنَ البَيِّنَاتِ وَالهُدَى مِنبَعدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاه ُُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الكِتَابِ أُولَائِكَ يَلعَنُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَلعَنُهُمُ اللاَّعِنُونَ

Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers.

'Inna Al-Ladhina Yaktumūna Ma 'Anzalna Mina Al-Bayyinati Wa Al-Hudá Min Ba`di Ma Bayyannahu Lilnnasi Fi Al-Kitabi 'Ūla'ika Yal`anuhumu Allahu Wa Yal`anuhumu Al-La`inūna

إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَأَصلَحُوا وَبَيَّنُوا فَأُولَائِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيهِم وَأَنَا التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ

Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.
