94
قُلْ إِن كَانَتْ لَكُمُ الدَّارُ الآَخِرَةُ عِندَ اللّهِ خَالِصَةً مِّن دُونِ
النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُاْ الْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
95
وَلَن يَتَمَنَّوْهُ أَبَدًا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ
بِالظَّالِمينَ
96
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَى حَيَاةٍ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ
يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهِ مِنَ
الْعَذَابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَ وَاللّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
97
قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ
بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَى
لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
98
مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّلّهِ وَمَلآئِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَ
فَإِنَّ اللّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِّلْكَافِرِينَ
99
وَلَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ وَمَا يَكْفُرُ بِهَا إِلاَّ
الْفَاسِقُونَ
100
أَوَكُلَّمَا عَاهَدُواْ عَهْداً نَّبَذَهُ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ
لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
101
وَلَمَّا جَاءهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ عِندِ اللّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ
فَرِيقٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ كِتَابَ اللّهِ وَرَاء ظُهُورِهِمْ
كَأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ
[002.094] Say to (them): "If the home of the Hereafter with Allâh is indeed for
you specially and not for others, of mankind, then long for death if you are
truthful."
[002.095] But they will never long for it because of what their hands have sent
before them (i.e. what they have done). And Allâh is All-Knower of the Zâlimûn
(polytheists and wrongdoers).
[002.096] And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of mankind
for life and (even greedier) than those who ascribe partners to Allâh [and do
not believe in Resurrection – Majûs (Magians), pagans, and idolaters]. Everyone
of them wishes that he could be given a life of a thousand years. But the grant
of such life will not save him even a little from (due) punishment. And Allâh
is All-Seer of what they do.
[002.097] Say (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]): "Whoever is an enemy
to Jibrâîl (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it
(this Qur'ân) down to your heart by Allâh's Permission, confirming what came
before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah) and the Injîl (Gospel)] and guidance and
glad tidings for the believers.
[002.098] "Whoever is an enemy to Allâh, His Angels, His Messengers, Jibrâîl
(Gabriel) and Mikâîl (Michael), then verily, Allâh is an enemy to the
disbelievers."
[002.099] And indeed We have sent down to you manifest Ayât (these Verses of
the Qur'ân which inform in detail about the news of the Jews and their secret
intentions), and none disbelieve in them but Fâsiqûn (those who rebel against
Allâh's Command).
[002.100] Is it not (the case) that every time they make a covenant, some party
among them throw it aside? Nay! (the truth is:) most of them believe not.
[002.101] And when there came to them a Messenger from Allâh (i.e. Muhammad
[sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) confirming what was with them, a party of those
who were given the Scripture threw away the Book of Allâh behind their backs as
if they did not know!
