Wa-ith akhatha Allahu meethaqa alnnabiyyeena lama ataytukum min kitabin wahikmatin thumma jaakum rasoolun musaddiqun lima maAAakum latu/minunna bihi walatansurunnahu qala aaqrartum waakhathtum AAala thalikum isree qaloo aqrarna qala faishhadoo waana maAAakum mina alshshahideena\n81. Behold! God took\n The Covenant of the Prophets,\n Saying: \"I give you\n A Book and Wisdom;\n Then comes to you\n An Apostle, confirming\n What is with you;\n Do ye believe in him\n And render him help.\"\n God said: \"Do ye agree,\n And take this my Covenant\n As binding on you?\"\n They said: \"We agree.\"\n He said: \"Then bear witness,\n And I am with you\n Among the witnesses.\"\n82. Faman tawalla baAAda thalika faola-ika humu alfasiqoona\n82. If any turn back\n After this, they are\n Perverted transgressors.\n83. Afaghayra deeni Allahi yabghoona walahu aslama man fee alssamawati waal-ardi tawAAan wakarhan wa-ilayhi yurjaAAoona\n83. Do they seek\n For other than the Religion\n Of God?\u2014while all creatures\n In the heavens and on earth\n Have, willing or unwilling,\n Bowed to His Will\n (Accepted Islam),\n And to Him shall they\n All be brought back.\n84. Qul amanna biAllahi wama onzila AAalayna wama onzila AAala ibraheema wa-ismaAAeela wa-ishaqa wayaAAqooba waal-asbati wama ootiya moosa waAAeesa waalnnabiyyoona min rabbihim la nufarriqu bayna ahadin minhum wanahnu lahu muslimoona\n84. Say: \"We believe\n In God, and in what\n Has been revealed to us\n And what was revealed\n To Abraham, Ism\u0101\u2019\u012bl;\n Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes,\n And in (the Books)\n Given to Moses, Jesus,\n And the Prophets,\n From their Lord:\n We make no distinction\n Between one and another\n Among them, and to God do we\n Bow our will (in Islam).\"\n85. Waman yabtaghi ghayra al-islami deenan falan yuqbala minhu wahuwa fee al-akhirati mina alkhasireena\n85. If anyone desires\n A religion other than\n Islam (submission to God),\n Never will it be accepted\n Of him; and in the Hereafter\n He will be in the ranks\n Of those who have lost\n (All spiritual good).\n86. Kayfa yahdee Allahu qawman kafaroo baAAda eemanihim washahidoo anna alrrasoola haqqun wajaahumu albayyinatu waAllahu la yahdee alqawma alththalimeena\n86. How shall God\n Guide those who reject\n Faith after they accepted it\n And bore witness\n That the Apostle was true\n And that Clear Signs\n Had come unto them?\n But God guides not\n A people unjust.\n87. Ola-ika jazaohum anna AAalayhim laAAnata Allahi waalmala-ikati waalnnasi ajmaAAeena\n87. Of such the reward\n Is that on them (rests)\nThe curse of God,\n Of His angels,\n And of all mankind;\u2014\n88. Khalideena feeha la yukhaffafu AAanhumu alAAathabu wala hum yuntharoona\n88. In that will they dwell;\n Nor will their penalty\n Be lightened, nor respite\n Be their (lot);\u2014\n89. Illa allatheena taboo min baAAdi thalika waaslahoo fa-inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun\n89. Except for those that repent\n (Even) after that,\n And make amends;\n For verily God\n Is Oft-Forgiving,\n Most Merciful.\n90. Inna allatheena kafaroo baAAda eemanihim thumma izdadoo kufran lan tuqbala tawbatuhum waola-ika humu alddalloona\n90. But those who reject\n Faith after they accepted it,\n And then go on adding\n To their defiance of Faith,\u2014\n Never will their repentance\n Be accepted; for they\n Are those who have\n (Of set purpose) gone astray.\n91. Inna allatheena kafaroo wamatoo wahum kuffarun falan yuqbala min ahadihim milo al-ardi thahaban walawi iftada bihi ola-ika lahum AAathabun aleemun wama lahum min nasireena\n91. As to those who reject\n Faith, and die rejecting,\u2014\n Never would be accepted\n From any such as much\n Gold as the earth contains,\n Though they should offer it\n For ransom. For such\n Is (in store) a penalty grievous,\n And they will find no helpers.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra III.: \u0100l-i-\u2019Imr\u0101n, or The Family of \u2019Imr\u0101n.: Section 9 (81-91)","type":"page"}
