The Jews say, "Ezra (Uzair) is the son of Allah," and the

Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah." Such are the

baseless things they utter with their tongues, following in the

footsteps of the former unbelievers. -}3{

The Jews say, "Ezra (Uzair) is the son of Allah," and the Christians

say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah." Such are the baseless things

they utter with their tongues, following in the footsteps of theformer unbelievers. May Allah afflict them with chastisement!

Wherefrom are they being perverted? They have made their

scholars and monks as their Lords beside Allah, and likewise the

Messiah, the son of Mary, although they were enjoined not to

worship any other than the One God, besides Whom there is none

Certainly they disbelieved: those who said

worthy of worship. He is absolutely pure and free from what they

associate with Him. These people desire to extinguish the light of

Allah with puffs from their mouths and Allah refuses His consent to

their desire but wills to perfect His light, even though the

disbelievers be much averse to it. He is Allah Who has sent His

Messenger with Guidance and the Right way so that He may make it

prevail over all other ways, even though the mushriks (polytheists)

be much averse to it. He is Allah Who has sent His Messenger with

Guidance and the Right way so that He may make it prevail over all

other ways, even though the mushriks (polytheists) be much averse

to it. O Believers, indeed most of the scholars and monks devour the

wealth of others by evil means, and debar them from the Way of

Allah. Give them the good news of a painful torment, who hoard up

gold and silver and expend not these in the Way of Allah. The Day

shall surely come when the same gold and silver shall be heated in

the fire of Hell, and therewith their foreheads, their bodies and their

backs shall be branded, (saying), "Here is that treasure you had

hoarded up for yourselves: now taste the evil of your hoardedtreasure."

And surely they disbelieved when they said: 'Christ, the son of Mary,

is indeed God'; whereas Christ had said: 'Children of Israel! Serve

Allah, Who is your Lord and my Lord.' Allah has forbidden Paradise

to those who associate anything with Him in His divinity and theirrefuge will be the Fire. No one will be able to help such wrong-doers.

Those who said: 'Allah is one of the Three', certainly they

disbelieved, for there is no god except the One God. And if they do

not give up this claim, all who have disbelieved among them shall be

subjected to painful chastisement. Will they not, then, turn to Allah

in repentance, and ask for His forgiveness? Allah is All-Forgiving, All-

Compassionate.The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger before

whom many Messengers have passed away; and his mother adhered

wholly to truthfulness, and they both ate food (as other mortals do).

See how We make Our signs clear to them; and see where they are

turning away!

Say: 'Do you serve, beside Allah, that which has no power either to

harm or benefit you, whereas Allah alone is All-Hearing, All-Knowing?'

Say: 'O People of the Book! Do not go beyond bounds in your

religion at the cost of truth, and do not follow the caprices of the

people who fell into error before, and caused others to go astray,

and strayed far away from the right path.

Birth of Prophet Jesus (PBUH), his Prophethood and

some of his Miracles

}9{Surely, in the sight of Allah, the similitude of the creation of Jesus is

as the creation of Adam whom He created out of dust, and then

said: 'Be', and he was.

}5{

And when the angels said: 'O Mary! Allah gives you the glad tidings of a

command from Him: his name will be Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary.

He will be highly honoured in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be

one of those near stationed to Allah.And he will speak to men in the

cradle and also later when he grows to maturity and will indeed be

among the righteous. 'She said: 'O my Lord! How will I have a son when

no man has ever touched me?' The angel answered: Thus will it be. Allah

creates whatever He wills. When He decides something, He merely says:

"Be" and it is. And He will teach him the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah,

the Gospel, and he will be a Messenger to the Children of Israel.' (And

when he came to them he said): 'I have come to you with a sign from

your Lord. I make for you from clay the likeness of a bird and then I

breathe into it and by the command of Allah it becomes a bird. I also

heal those born blind and the lepers, and by the permission of Allah

bring the dead to life. I also inform you of what things you eat and what

you treasure up in your houses. Surely this is a sign for you if you aretrue believers. And I have come to confirm the truth of whatever there

still remains of the Torah, and to make lawful to you some of the things

which had been forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from

your Lord; so have fear of Allah and obey me. Surely, Allah is my Lord

and your Lord; so serve Him alone. This is the straight way.'

Condemnation of the False Beliefs of the People of the Book

How can He have a son when He has no mate?

Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O

Mary! You have come with an amazing thing. O sister of Aaron! Your

father was not a wicked man nor was your mother an unchaste.

Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is

in the cradle, a baby? He spoke: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He has

given me the Scripture and has appointed me a Prophet. And has

made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me

prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive. And (has made me)

dutiful to my mother, and has not made me arrogant, unblest. Peace

on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be

raised alive! Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the

truth concerning which they doubt. It is not befitting to (the Majesty

of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him!

When He decrees a thing, He says to it only: "Be!" and it is. (Jesusalso said) And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That

is the right path.

partners, even though it is He Who created them; and in ignorance

they impute to Him sons and daughters. He is Holy and Exalted far

above that which they attribute to Him.He is the Originator of the

heavens and the earth. How can He have a son when He has no

mate? And He has created everything and He has full knowledge of

all things. Such is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but He - the

Creator of all things. Serve Him alone - for it is He Who is the

guardian of everything.

Say (O Prophet): "If the Merciful One had a son, I

would have been the first one to worship him."

And they say: The Beneficent has taken unto Himself a son.

Assuredly you utter a disastrous thing Whereby almost the

heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the

mountains fall in ruins, That you ascribe unto the Beneficent a

son, When it is not befitting (for the Majesty of) the Beneficent

that He should choose a son. There is none in the heavens and

the earth but comes unto the Beneficent as a slave. Verily He

knowes them and has numbered them with (right) numbering.

And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of

Resurrection, alone.

sufficient! His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the

earth. Do you have any authority (proof) to support (that Allah

has taken a son)? Do you ascribe to Allah something of which

you have no knowledge? Tell them (O Muhammad!): 'Indeed

those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper.

}}5 They say "Allah has taken to Himself a son." Allah is above such

things. As a matter of fact, whatever is in the heavens and on the

earth belongs to Him and all are subservient to Him.

Allah has begotten no son: He has no partner in His Kingdom:

}{

Highly blessed is He, Who has sent down Al-Furqan, to His

servant so that it may be a warner to all mankind:He to Whom

belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth: Who has

begotten no son: Who has no partner in His Kingdom: Who

created each and every thing and then ordained its destiny. Yet

the people have set up, besides Him, deities, who do not create

anything but are themselves created : who can neither harm nor

help even themselves: who have no power over life or death,

nor can they raise up the dead. -2}55{

And say: "All praise be to Allah Who has neither taken to Himself

a son, nor has He any partner in His kingdom, nor does He need

anyone, out of weakness, to protect Him." So glorify Him in a

manner worthy of His glory.

Never did Allah take unto Himself any son, nor is there

}0}57 Never did Allah take unto Himself any son, nor is there any god

other than He. (Had there been any other gods) each god would

have taken his creatures away with him, and each would haverushed to overpower the other. Glory be to Allah from all that

they characterize Him with!He knows both what is visible and

what is not visible. Exalted is Allah above all that they associate

as partners to Him. 7}{ And exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, He has taken neither a

wife, nor a son.

Say: He is Allah, the One and Unique; Allah, Who is in need of none

and of Whom all are in need; He neither begot any nor was He

begotten, and none is comparable to Him.

O People of the Book

"If Allah so wills, Who can prevent Allah from destroying

the Messiah, his mother and everyone on the earth?"

}}2 Indeed those who said: 'Christ, the son of Mary, he is indeed God',

disbelieved. Say (O Muhammad!): 'Who could have overruled Allah

had He so willed to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, and his mother,

and all those who are on earth?' For to Allah belongs the dominion

of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; He

creates what He wills. Allah is All-Powerful.

}}19 Say: 'People of the Book! Why do you reject the signs of Allah

when Allah is witness to all that you do? 'Say: 'People of theBook! Why do you hinder one who believes from the way of

Allah, seeking that he follow a crooked way, even though you

yourselves are witness to its being the right way?' Allah is not

heedless of what you do.

The Consequences of Disbelieving

}}95

A party of the People of the Book wish to lead you astray,

whereas in truth they lead none astray except themselves, but

they do not realize it.O People of the Book! Why do you reject

the signs of Allah even though you yourselves witness them?

People of the Book! Why do you confound Truth with falsehood,

and why do you conceal the Truth knowingly?

1}{ Those who disbelieved be they from among the People of

the Book or among the polytheists shall be in the Fire, andwill abide in it. They are the worst of creatures. But those

that believe and work righteous deeds, they are the best of

creatures.

The Jews say, "Become Jews and you will be rightly guided"; the

Christians say, "Become Christians and you will have the true guidance."

Say to them, "Nay, we turn away from every other way and accept the

way of Abraham, and Abraham did not associate other gods with Allah."

}}00 The Jews say, "Become Jews and you will be rightly guided"; the

Christians say, "Become Christians and you will have the true

guidance." Say to them, "Nay, we turn away from every other

way and accept the way of Abraham, and Abraham did not

associate other gods with Allah."O Muslims, say to them, "We

believe in Allah and the Guidance which has been sent down to

us and which was sent to Abraham, Ismail , Isaac and Jacob andhis descendants and which was given by their Lord to Moses and

Jesus and to all other Prophets. We do not discriminate against

any of them and we have completely surrendered to Allah as

Muslims." }}21 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; he was a Muslim,

wholly devoted to God. And he certainly was not amongst those

who associate others as partners with Allah.Surely the people

who have the best claim to a relationship with Abraham are

those who followed him in the past, and presently this Prophetand those who believe in him; Allah is the guardian of the men

of faith.

}}93

The true religion with Allah is Islam. The People of the Bookadopted many different ways rather than follow the true way of

Islam even after the knowledge of truth had reached them, and

this merely to commit excesses against one another. Let him

who refuses to follow the ordinances and directives of Allah

know that Allah is swift in His reckoning. And if they

remonstrate with you, tell them: 'I have submitted my whole

being to Allah, and so have those who follow me.' And ask the

People of the Book as well as those who follow no heavenly

Scripture: 'Have you also submitted (to Allah)?' If they have

submitted to Him, they are indeed on the right way but if they

deviate from submitting to Allah, then your duty is merely to

deliver the message. Allah observes the affairs of His servants.

A call for People of the Book

}}

Say: 'O People of the Book! Come to a word common between us

and you: that we will serve none but Allah and will associate none

with Him as partner and that some of us will not take others as lords

beside Allah.' And if they turn their backs (from accepting this call),

tell them: 'Bear witness that we are Muslims (the ones who have

submitted ourselves exclusively to Allah).' }2527{

People of the Book! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and

attribute to Allah nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, sonof Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and His command that He

conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him (which led to Mary's

conception). So believe in Allah and in His Messengers, and do not

say: (Allah is a) trinity. Give up this assertion; it would be better for

you. Allah is indeed just one God. Far be it from His glory that He

should have a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in

the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a guardian.The Messiah neither

did disdain to be a servant of Allah nor do the angels who are

stationed near to Him; and whoever disdains to serve Him, and

waxes arrogant, Allah will certainly muster them all to Him.

}}551

And imagine when (on the Day of Judgment) Allah will say: 'Jesus, son of

Mary, did you say to people: "Take me and my mother for gods beside

Allah?" and he will answer: "Glory to You! It was not for me to say what I

had no right to. Had I said so, You would surely have known it. You know

all what is within my mind whereas I do not know what is within Yours.

You, indeed know fully all that is hidden and unseen. I said to them

nothing except what You commanded me, that is: 'Serve Allah, my Lord

and your Lord.' I watched over them as long as I remained among them;and when You took me up, then You Yourself were the Watcher over

them. Indeed, You are Witness over everything. If You chastise them,

they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty,

the All-Wise."
