Ayah 46

مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعۡنَا وَعَصَيۡنَا وَٱسۡمَعۡ غَيۡرَ مُسۡمَعٖ وَرَٰعِنَا لَيَّۢا بِأَلۡسِنَتِهِمۡ وَطَعۡنٗا فِي ٱلدِّينِۚ وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ سَمِعۡنَا وَأَطَعۡنَا وَٱسۡمَعۡ وَٱنظُرۡنَا لَكَانَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۡ وَأَقۡوَمَ وَلَٰكِن لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ فَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا

46. Among the Yahud are those who distort words from their (proper) places [169] and say, "We have heard and we disobey," and "You listen to us," but do not make us to listen. They twist their tongues [170] and taunt in faith [171]. And if they had said instead, "We hear and obey," and "Hear our talks and look at us" [172], it would have been better for them and more upright [173]. But Allah has accursed them, so they believe not, except for a little [174].

Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 46

Ayah 160

فَبِظُلۡمٖ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيِّبَٰتٍ أُحِلَّتۡ لَهُمۡ وَبِصَدِّهِمۡ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرٗا

160. Then on account of the great injustice of the Yahud, We made unlawful for them some of those pure things that were lawful [458], and because of their hindering many from the way of Allah [459].

Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 160

Ayah 111

وَقَالُواْ لَن يَدۡخُلَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَن كَانَ هُودًا أَوۡ نَصَٰرَىٰۗ تِلۡكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمۡۗ قُلۡ هَاتُواْ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

111. And the people of the Scripture said: "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian" [220]. This is merely their wishful thinking [221]. Say (O Muhammad): "Bring forth your proof if you are truthful" [222].

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 111

Ayah 135

وَقَالُواْ كُونُواْ هُودًا أَوۡ نَصَٰرَىٰ تَهۡتَدُواْۗ قُلۡ بَلۡ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

135. And they (the people of the Book) say, "Be Yahud or Nasara, and you will be guided." Say (O Muhammad): "Rather, we follow the religion of Ibrahim, inclining toward truth [269], and he was not among the polytheists [270]."

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 135

Ayah 140

أَمۡ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَإِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ وَٱلۡأَسۡبَاطَ كَانُواْ هُودًا أَوۡ نَصَٰرَىٰۗ قُلۡ ءَأَنتُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ أَمِ ٱللَّهُۗ وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن كَتَمَ شَهَٰدَةً عِندَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ

140. Or do you claim that Ebrahim, Ismail, Ishaaq, Yaqub, and the descendants were Yahud or Nasara? Say (O Muhammad): "Are you more knowledgeable, or is Allah? And who is more unjust than the one who conceals a testimony he has from Allah? Indeed, Allah is not unaware of what you do."

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 140

Ayah 118

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا مَا قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ

118. And for those who are Jews, We forbade that which We have already related to you [262] before, and We did not wrong them but they wronged their own selves [263].

Surah Name : An-Nahl   Surah Number : 16   Ayat Number: 118

Ayah 146

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا كُلَّ ذِي ظُفُرٖۖ وَمِنَ ٱلۡبَقَرِ وَٱلۡغَنَمِ حَرَّمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ شُحُومَهُمَآ إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتۡ ظُهُورُهُمَآ أَوِ ٱلۡحَوَايَآ أَوۡ مَا ٱخۡتَلَطَ بِعَظۡمٖۚ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَيۡنَٰهُم بِبَغۡيِهِمۡۖ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ

146. And for the Jews, We forbade every animal with undivided hoofs [334], and the fat of oxen and sheep, except what is carried on their backs or intestines, or what is mixed with bones [335]. This was their recompense for their rebellion [336]. And indeed, We are truthful.

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 146

Ayah 82

۞لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ ٱلنَّاسِ عَدَٰوَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلۡيَهُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْۖ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقۡرَبَهُم مَّوَدَّةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا نَصَٰرَىٰۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهۡبَانٗا وَأَنَّهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

82. And you will surely find the Jews and polytheists [232] to be the most intense in enmity toward those who believe, and you will surely find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians" [233]. That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are not arrogant [234].

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 82

Ayah 69

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـُٔونَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ

69. Surely, those who believe [208], and similarly the Yahud, the Sabians (star worshippers), and the Nasara—whoever among them believes in Allah and the Last Day [209], with a true heart and acts righteously, shall neither have any fear nor shall they grieve [210].

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 69

Ayah 64

وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ يَدُ ٱللَّهِ مَغۡلُولَةٌۚ غُلَّتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَلُعِنُواْ بِمَا قَالُواْۘ بَلۡ يَدَاهُ مَبۡسُوطَتَانِ يُنفِقُ كَيۡفَ يَشَآءُۚ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنۡهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغۡيَٰنٗا وَكُفۡرٗاۚ وَأَلۡقَيۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ كُلَّمَآ أَوۡقَدُواْ نَارٗا لِّلۡحَرۡبِ أَطۡفَأَهَا ٱللَّهُۚ وَيَسۡعَوۡنَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَسَادٗاۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ

64. And the Yahud have said, "The Hand of Allah is tied up" [189]. Their own hands are tied up [190], and upon them is the curse of Allah for what they say. Rather, His Hands are wide open; He spends as He wills [191]. And what has been revealed to you from your Lord will only increase many of them in wickedness and disbelief [192]. And We have cast enmity and hatred among them until the Day of Resurrection [193]. Whenever they kindle the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it [194]. They strive to spread corruption in the land, and Allah does not love the corruptors.

Ayah 52

فَتَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِيهِمۡ يَقُولُونَ نَخۡشَىٰٓ أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَآئِرَةٞۚ فَعَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأۡتِيَ بِٱلۡفَتۡحِ أَوۡ أَمۡرٖ مِّنۡ عِندِهِۦ فَيُصۡبِحُواْ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَسَرُّواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ نَٰدِمِينَ

52. You will come across such people who have a disease in their hearts, and they run towards the Jews and Christians, saying: "We fear lest a misfortune befall us [167]." So perhaps Allah will bring a victory soon or a Commandment from Himself [168], and they will then be regretful for what they had concealed in their hearts [169].

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 52

Ayah 51

۞يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلۡيَهُودَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۘ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضٖۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمۡ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنۡهُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

51. O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and Christians as friends [164]. They are friends of each other among themselves [165]. And whoever among you makes them his friends, then he is one of them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the unjust people [166].

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 51

Ayah 44

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَا ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ فِيهَا هُدٗى وَنُورٞۚ يَحۡكُمُ بِهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡلَمُواْ لِلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلرَّبَّـٰنِيُّونَ وَٱلۡأَحۡبَارُ بِمَا ٱسۡتُحۡفِظُواْ مِن كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَانُواْ عَلَيۡهِ شُهَدَآءَۚ فَلَا تَخۡشَوُاْ ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِ وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِي ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلٗاۚ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَحۡكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

44. Indeed, We have sent down the Tauraat in which was guidance and light. According to it, the Yahud were instructed by Our obedient Prophets [139], and men of learning and jurists. It was desired from them to preserve [140] the Book of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So, do not fear people, but fear Me (Allah) and never accept a mean price [141] for Our Verses. And whoso does not judge by what Allah has sent down [142], then it is those who are the infidels.

Ayah 41

۞يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ لَا يَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَلَمۡ تُؤۡمِن قُلُوبُهُمۡۛ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْۛ سَمَّـٰعُونَ لِلۡكَذِبِ سَمَّـٰعُونَ لِقَوۡمٍ ءَاخَرِينَ لَمۡ يَأۡتُوكَۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَوَاضِعِهِۦۖ يَقُولُونَ إِنۡ أُوتِيتُمۡ هَٰذَا فَخُذُوهُ وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡتَوۡهُ فَٱحۡذَرُواْۚ وَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ فِتۡنَتَهُۥ فَلَن تَمۡلِكَ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـًٔاۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡيٞۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ

41. Some of them say with their mouths: "We believe," but their hearts are not believers [129]. And some of the Jews listen to the falsehood with deep interest and listen very well to other people [130] who have not come to you. They change the words of Allah from their places and say: "If you are given this command, then accept it, but if you are not given it, then be on your guard" [131]. And whoever Allah wishes to misguide, you will never possess (the power to do) anything for him against Allah [132]. Those are the people whose hearts Allah does not intend to purify [133]. For them is a disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter, they will face severe punishment.

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 41

Ayah 18

وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ نَحۡنُ أَبۡنَـٰٓؤُاْ ٱللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّـٰٓؤُهُۥۚ قُلۡ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُمۖ بَلۡ أَنتُم بَشَرٞ مِّمَّنۡ خَلَقَۚ يَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

18. And the Yahud and the Nasara say: "We are the children of Allah and His dear ones" [75]. Please declare: "Why does He torment [76] you for your sins?" You are but mortal human beings among those whom He has created. He forgives whom He pleases [77]. And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and unto Him is the (final) destination.

Surah Name : Al-Maidah   Surah Number : 5   Ayat Number: 18

Ayah 30

وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ عُزَيۡرٌ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَى ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوۡلُهُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡۖ يُضَٰهِـُٔونَ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبۡلُۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ,

30. And the Jews said, "Uzair [71] is the son of Allah," and the Christians said, "Messiah [Isa] is the son of Allah." These are their claims with their mouths [72]. They imitate the statements of those who disbelieved before them [73]. May Allah curse them [74]. How are they deluded?

Surah Name : At-Tawbah   Surah Number : 9   Ayat Number: 30

Ayah 6

قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓاْ إِن زَعَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُاْ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

6. Please declare O Jews, if you assert that you are the favorites of Allah to the exclusion [16] of the rest of mankind, then wish for death [17], if you are truthful [18].
