Ayah: 94

قُلۡ إِن كَانَتۡ لَكُمُ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَالِصَةٗ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُاْ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

94. Say: "If the Home of the Hereafter with Allāh is exclusively for you (Jews, as you assume) to the exclusion of the rest of the people, then long for death, if you are truthful."

Ayah: 95

وَلَن يَتَمَنَّوۡهُ أَبَدَۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

95. But they will never long for it (death) at all, because of what their hands have done (of evil). Allāh knows well the unjust.

Ayah: 96

وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمۡ أَحۡرَصَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَوٰةٖ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمۡ لَوۡ يُعَمَّرُ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحۡزِحِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ

96. You will certainly find them (the Jews) the greediest of all people for life - more than even those who associate others with Allah. Each one of them wishes that he gladly live for a thousand years, but his being granted a long life will in no way remove him further away from the torment. For Allāh sees what they do.

Ayah: 97

قُلۡ مَن كَانَ عَدُوّٗا لِّـجِبۡرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُۥ نَزَّلَهُۥ عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَهُدٗى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

97. Say: "Whoever is the enemy of Gabriel - then (know that) he brought it (this Qur’an) down upon your heart by Allah’s Will, confirming what came before it (of Scripture), and as guide and good news for the believers.

Ayah: 98

مَن كَانَ عَدُوّٗا لِّلَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَجِبۡرِيلَ وَمِيكَىٰلَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَدُوّٞ لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

98. Whoever is the enemy of Allāh, His angels, His messengers, Gabriel, and Micheal, for surely Allāh is the enemy of the disbelievers.

Ayah: 99

وَلَقَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ءَايَٰتِۭ بَيِّنَٰتٖۖ وَمَا يَكۡفُرُ بِهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡفَٰسِقُونَ

99. Indeed, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) clear Verses (of the Qur’an), and none will deny them except the rebellious 'against God'.

Ayah: 100

أَوَكُلَّمَا عَٰهَدُواْ عَهۡدٗا نَّبَذَهُۥ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡهُمۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

100. Why is it that every time they (the Jews) make a covenant, a party of them cast it aside? Rather, most of them do not even believe.

Ayah: 101

وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٞ مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٞ لِّمَا مَعَهُمۡ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٞ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ كِتَٰبَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمۡ كَأَنَّهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

101. When a messenger from Allāh has come to them -confirming what was with them (of revelation), a party of those who were given the Scripture (i.e., Jews), threw the Book of God behind their backs, as if they knew not27.

27. What it said about believing in the Messenger of God, the Prophet Muhammad and the Qur’an.
