Kuntum khayra ommatin okhrijat lilnnasi ta/muroona bialmaAAroofi watanhawna AAani almunkari watu/minoona biAllahi walaw amana ahlu alkitabi lakana khayran lahum minhumu almu/minoona waaktharuhumu alfasiqoona\n110. Ye are the best\n Of Peoples, evolved\n For mankind,\n Enjoining what is right,\n Forbidding what is wrong,\n And believing in God.\n If only the People of the Book\n Had faith, it were best\n For them: among them\n Are some who have faith,\n But most of them\n Are perverted transgressors.\n111. Lan yadurrookum illa athan wa-in yuqatilookum yuwallookumu al-adbara thumma la yunsaroona\n111.\n112. Duribat AAalayhimu alththillatu ayna ma thuqifoo illa bihablin mina Allahi wahablin mina alnnasi wabaoo bighadabin mina Allahi waduribat AAalayhimu almaskanatu thalika bi-annahum kanoo yakfuroona bi-ayati Allahi wayaqtuloona al-anbiyaa bighayri haqqin thalika bima AAasaw wakanoo yaAAtadoona\n112. Shame is pitched over them\n (Like a tent) wherever\n They are found,\n Except when under a covenant\n (Of protection) from God\n And from men; they draw\n On themselves wrath from God,\n And pitched over them\n Is (the tent of) destitution.\n This because they rejected\n The Signs of God, and slew\n The Prophets in defiance of right;\nThis because they rebelled\n And transgressed beyond bounds.\n113. Laysoo sawaan min ahli alkitabi ommatun qa-imatun yatloona ayati Allahi anaa allayli wahum yasjudoona\n113. Not all of them are alike:\n Of the People of the Book\n Are a portion that stand\n (For the right); they rehearse\n The Signs of God all night long,\n And they prostrate themselves\n In adoration.\n114. Yu/minoona biAllahi waalyawmi al-akhiri waya/muroona bialmaAAroofi wayanhawna AAani almunkari wayusariAAoona fee alkhayrati waola-ika mina alssaliheena\n114. They believe in God\n And the Last Day;\n They enjoin what is right,\n And forbid what is wrong;\n And they hasten (in emulation)\n In (all) good works:\n They are in the ranks\n Of the righteous.\n115. Wama yafAAaloo min khayrin falan yukfaroohu waAllahu AAaleemun bialmuttaqeena\n115. Of the good that they do,\n Nothing will be rejected\n Of them; for God knoweth well\n Those that do right.\n116. Inna allatheena kafaroo lan tughniya AAanhum amwaluhum wala awladuhum mina Allahi shay-an waola-ika as-habu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona\n116. Those who reject Faith,\u2014\n Neither their possessions\n Nor their (numerous) progeny\n Will avail them aught against God:\n They will be Companions\n Of the Fire,\u2014dwelling\n Therein (for ever).\n117. Mathalu ma yunfiqoona fee hathihi alhayati alddunya kamathali reehin feeha sirrun asabat hartha qawmin thalamoo anfusahum faahlakat-hu wama thalamahumu Allahu walakin anfusahum yathlimoona\n117. What they spend\n In the life\n Of this (material) world\n May be likened to a Wind\n Which brings a nipping frost:\n It strikes and destroys the harvest\n Of men who have wronged\nTheir own souls: it is not God\n That hath wronged them, but\n They wrong themselves.\n118. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo bitanatan min doonikum la ya/loonakum khabalan waddoo ma AAanittum qad badati albaghdao min afwahihim wama tukhfee sudooruhum akbaru qad bayyanna lakumu al-ayati in kuntum taAAqiloona\n118. O ye who believe!\n Take not into your intimacy\n Those outside your ranks:\n They will not fail\n To corrupt you. They\n Only desire your ruin:\n Rank hatred has already\n Appeared from their mouths:\n What their hearts conceal\n Is far worse.\n We have made plain\n To you the Signs,\n If ye have wisdom.\n119. Ha antum ola-i tuhibboonahum wala yuhibboonakum watu/minoona bialkitabi kullihi wa-itha laqookum qaloo amanna wa-itha khalaw AAaddoo AAalaykumu al-anamila mina alghaythi qul mootoo bighaythikum inna Allaha AAaleemun bithati alssudoori\n119. Ah! ye are those\n Who love them,\n But they love you not,\n Though ye believe\n In the whole of the Book,\n When they meet you,\n They say, \"We believe\":\n But when they are alone,\n They bite off the very tips\n Of their fingers at you\n In their rage. Say:\n \"Perish in your rage;\n God knoweth well\n All the secrets of the heart.\"\n120. In tamsaskum hasanatun tasu/hum wa-in tusibkum sayyi-atun yafrahoo biha wa-in tasbiroo watattaqoo la yadurrukum kayduhum shay-an inna Allaha bima yaAAmaloona muheetun\n120. If aught that is good\n Befalls you, it grieves them;\n But if some misfortune\n Overtakes you, they rejoice\nAt it. But if ye are constant\n And do right,\n Not the least harm\n Will their cunning\n Do to you; for God\n Compasseth round about\n All that they do.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra III.: \u0100l-i-\u2019Imr\u0101n, or The Family of \u2019Imr\u0101n.: Section 12 (110-120)","type":"page"}
