The unbelievers among the children of Israel plotted against Isa and Allah also devised a plan to raise him up, and Allah is the best in planning.[54]

SECTION: 6
Allah said: “O Isa (Jesus)! I am going to recall you (from your mission) and raise you up to Myself. I will clean you of those who rejected you and exalt your followers above the unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection; then to Me shall be your return and I shall judge those matters in which you have been disputing.[55] Those who are unbelievers will be punished with severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter; they shall have no helpers.[56] As for those who believe and do good deeds, Allah will pay them their full reward. Allah does not love the transgressors."[57]

This revelation which We recite to you is full of signs and wise reminders.[58] In fact, the example of the birth of Isa ( Jesus) in the sight of Allah is like the example of Adam who had no father and mother, whom He created out of dust, then said to him: “Be” and he was.[59] This is the Truth from your Rabb, therefore, do not be of those who doubt it.[60] If anyone disputes with you concerning this matter (the birth of Jesus) after full knowledge has come to you, say: “Come! Let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray and invoke the curse of Allah on the liars."[61] Verily this is the absolute true explanation. The fact of the matter is, that there is no god but Allah; and for sure Allah is the Mighty, the Wise.[62] But if they turn away from accepting this challenge, it will be clear proof of their mischief and Allah has full knowledge of mischief-mongers.[63]

SECTION: 7 Say: “O people of the Book! Let us get together on what is common between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah; that we shall not associate any partners with Him; that we shall not take from among ourselves any lords beside Allah.” If they reject your invitation then tell them: “Bear witness that we are Muslims (who have surrendered to Allah).”[64] O people of the Book! Why do you argue with us about Ibrăhďm, as to whether he was a Jew or a Christian? You know that the Taurăt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) were revealed long after him? Have you no sense at all?[65] So far you have been arguing about things of which you had some knowledge! Must you now argue about that of which you know nothing at all? Allah knows while you do not.[66] Ibrăhďm was neither a Jew nor a Christian but he was a Muslim, true in faith. He was not one of the Mushrikďn (who set up partners with Allah).[67] Surely the people nearest to Ibrăhďm are those who follow him, which are this Prophet (Muhammad) and those who believe with him; Allah is the Protector of only those who are the believers.[68] Some of the People of the Book want to mislead you; but they mislead none except themselves, though they do not realize it.[69] O People of the Book! Why do you deny the revelations of Allah when you know that they are true?[70] O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood and knowingly conceal the truth?[71]

3:[64-71]

SECTION: 8
Some of the People of the Book say to one another: “Believe in what is revealed to the believers (Muslims) in the morning and deny it in the evening; so that they (the Muslims) may follow suit and abandon their faith.[72] Do not follow anyone except the one who follows your own religion." O Muhammad, tell them: “The only true guidance is the guidance of Allah." These people of the Book do not believe that revelation could be sent to anyone besides themselves, like that which has been sent to you; or that they will ever argue with you in the presence of your Rabb. Tell them: “For sure, grace is in the hands of Allah: He bestows it on whom He pleases; Allah has boundless knowledge."[73] He chooses for His mercy whom He pleases, Allah is the Owner of mighty grace.[74]

Among the People of the Book there are some who, if you trust them with a heap of gold, will readily return it back; and there are others who, if you trust them with a single dinăr (silver coin) will not return it back unless you constantly keep on demanding; because they say, “We are not going to be called to account for our behavior with the illiterates (non Jews or Christians)." Thus they deliberately ascribe a lie to Allah - knowing well that He never permitted such wrongdoing.[75] In fact, those who keep their promise and guard themselves against evil are His beloved, for Allah loves only those who guard themselves against such evils.[76] In fact, those who sell the covenants of Allah and their own oaths for a petty price, shall have no portion in the hereafter. Allah will neither speak to them nor even look at them nor cleanse them from their sins on the Day of Judgment. They shall have painful punishment.[77] There are some among them who twist their tongues pretending a quote from their Holy Book; so that you may think that what they read is a part of the Book, whereas, in fact it is not a part of the Book. They also assert, “It is from Allah” whereas, in fact it is not from Allah. Thus they deliberately ascribe a lie to Allah.[78]
