[2:102] And now that there has come to them a messenger from Allah, fulfilling that which is with them, a party of the people to whom the Book was given have thrown the Book of Allah behind their backs, as if they know it not.
[2:103] And they pursue the course which was pursued by the rebellious men against the Kingdom of Solomon. And Solomon did not disbelieve; but it was the rebellious ones who disbelieved. They taught people falsehood and deception. And they claim that they follow what was revealed to the two angels in Babylon, Harut and Marut. But these two taught no one anything until they had said, ‘We are but a trial, from Allah, do not, therefore, reject what we say.’ So men learnt from them that by which they made a distinction between man and his wife, but they harmed no one thereby, except by the command of Allah; on the contrary, these people (the opponents of the Holy Prophet) are learning that which would harm them and do them no good. And they have certainly known that he who trafficks therein has no share of good in the Hereafter; and surely evil is that for which they sold their souls; if only they knew.
[2:104] And if they had believed and acted righteously, better surely, would have been their reward from Allah, if only they knew.
[2:105] O ye who believe, say not, to the Prophet, ‘Ra’ina,’ but say ‘Unzurna’ and hearken unto him. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.
[2:106] They, who disbelieve from among the people of the Book, or from among those who associate gods with Allah, desire not that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord; but Allah chooses for His mercy whomsoever He pleases; and Allah is Lord of exceeding bounty. **
[2:107] Whatever message We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than that or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah has the power to do all that He wills?**
[2:108] Knowest thou not that the Kingdom of the Heavens and the earth belongs to Allah alone? And there is no protector or helper for you besides Allah.
[2:109] Would you question the Messenger sent to you as Moses was questioned before this? And whoever takes disbelief in exchange for belief has undoubtedly gone astray from the right path.
[2:110] Many people of the Book wish, out of sheer envy from themselves, that, after you have believed, they could turn you again into disbelievers after the truth has become manifest to them. But forgive and overlook till Allah brings His decree. Surely Allah has the power to do all that He wills.
[2:111] And observe prayer and pay the Zakat; and whatever good you send on before you for yourselves, you shall find it with Allah; surely, Allah sees all that you do.
