The Majestic Quran

H H 144 Believers don’t take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do you wish to give God clear proof against yourselves? 145 The hypocrites will be in the bottommost pit of Hell, and you will never find a helper for them; 146 except that is for those who repent, reform themselves, hold firmly to the religion of God, and become genuine in their worship of God; such people will be with the believers. God will give the believers a great reward . 28 147 Why should God punish you, if you believe and are grateful? God is Appreciative, the Knower. T 148 God dislikes anyone talking openly about a wrongdoing, except the person who has been wronged. God is Hearer, Knower. 149 Whether you do good work openly or you conceal it or you pardon a wrong, God is Pardoning, the Powerful. B G ’ 150 Those who deny God and His messengers, and who wish to separate God and His messengers, claim: “We believe in some aspects and reject others”; and they wish to steer a middle course; 151 these people are disbelievers. We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment. 152 Those who believe in God and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them, will be rewarded. God is Forgiving, Most Kind. T J G ’ 153 The People of The Book ask you for a book to be sent down to them from Heaven. They asked Moses for something even more outrageous than that: “Show us God with the naked eye,” so a thunderbolt struck them for their rudeness. Then they adopted the golden calf as an idol , after clear signs had come to them; nevertheless, We pardoned them for that. We gave Moses clear authority; 154 whilst taking their contract with the mountain towering above them, We said, “Prostrate as you enter the gate,” and We told them not to violate the sanctity of the Sabbath, taking a solemn pledge from them.
