lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) while Allh is Witness to what you do?"

99. Say: "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Why do you stop those who have believed, from the Path of Allh, seeking to make it seem crooked, while you (yourselves) are witnesses [to Muhammad as a Messenger of Allh and Islm (Allh's Religion, i.e. to worship none but Him Alone)]? And Allh is not unaware of what you do."

100. O you who believe! If you obey a group of those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians), they would (indeed) render you disbelievers after you have believed!

101. And how would you disbelieve, while unto you are recited the Verses of Allh, and among you is His Messenger (Muhammad )? And whoever holds firmly to Allh, (i.e. follows Islm Allh's Religion, and obeys all that Allh has ordered, practically), then he is indeed guided to a Right Path.

102. O you who believe! Fear Allh (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islm (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allh.

103. And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allh (i.e. this Qur'n), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allh's Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islmic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allh makes His Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided.

104. Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islm), enjoining Al-Ma'rf (i.e. Islmic Monotheism and all that Islm orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islm has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful.

105. And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment.

106. On the Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) when some faces will become white and some faces will become black; as for those whose faces will become black (to them will be said): "Did you reject Faith after accepting it? Then taste the torment (in Hell) for rejecting Faith."

107. And for those whose faces will become white, they will be in Allh's Mercy (Paradise), therein they shall dwell forever.

108. These are the Verses of Allh: We recite them to you (O Muhammad ) in truth, and Allh wills no injustice to the 'Almn (mankind and jinns).

109. And to Allh belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And all matters go back (for decision) to Allh.

110. You [true believers in Islmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rf (i.e. Islmic Monotheism and all that Islm has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islm has forbidden), and you believe in Allh. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fsiqn (disobedient to Allh - and rebellious against Allh's Command).

111. They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; and if they fight against you, they will show you their backs, and they will not be helped.

112. Indignity is put over them wherever they may be, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allh, and from men; they have drawn on themselves the Wrath of Allh, and destruction is put over them. This is because they disbelieved in the Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allh and killed the Prophets without right. This is because they disobeyed (Allh) and used to transgress
