[Maidah 5:10] And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - it is they who are the people of hell. [Maidah 5:11] O People who Believe! Remember Allah’s favour upon you, when a people wished to extend their hands against you, so He restrained their hands from you; and keep fearing Allah; and Muslims must rely only upon Allah. Section 3 [Maidah 5:12] Undoubtedly Allah made a covenant with the Descendants of Israel, and We appointed twelve chiefs among them; and Allah said, “Indeed I am with you; surely, if you establish the prayer and pay the charity, and believe in My Noble Messengers and respect* them, and lend an excellent loan to Allah, I will surely forgive your sins, and I will surely admit you into Gardens beneath which rivers flow; then after this, if any of you disbelieves, he has certainly gone astray from the Straight Path." (To honour the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him – is part of faith. To disrespect him is blasphemy.) [Maidah 5:13] So We cursed them because of them constantly
breaking their covenant, and hardened their hearts; they shift the Words
of Allah from their places, and have forgotten a large portion of the advices
that were given to them; and you will constantly learn of deceits from
them, except a few; so forgive them and excuse them; indeed Allah loves
the virtuous. |
