The Majestic Quran

the people who wish to harm you. God does not guide the disbelievers. G 68 Say: “People of the Book, you will have no excuse on Judgment Day unless you implement the Torah and the Gospels and what has been revealed to you from Your Lord.” What has been revealed to you causes many of them to increase in their rebelliousness and disbelief, so don’t feel pity for the disbelievers. 69 The believers, the Jews, the Sabians and the Christians, and anyone who believes in God and the Last Day and performs honourable deeds, they shouldn’t fear, they shouldn’t grieve.
