आयत: 253

۞ تِلۡكَ ٱلرُّسُلُ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۘ مِّنۡهُم مَّن كَلَّمَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَرَفَعَ بَعۡضَهُمۡ دَرَجَٰتٖۚ وَءَاتَيۡنَا عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَأَيَّدۡنَٰهُ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِۗ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا ٱقۡتَتَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ وَلَٰكِنِ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ ءَامَنَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن كَفَرَۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا ٱقۡتَتَلُواْ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ

253. These Messengers We preferred some to the others, among them were those to whom Allāh spoke95, and some of them He raised by (many degrees of) rank. We gave clear Miracles to Jesus, the son of Mary, and strengthened him with the holy spirit (the angel Gabriel). If Allāh had willed, those after them would not have fought one with another after clear Evidences of Allāh had come to them, but (He gave them free will in religion, thus) they disagreed; so there were some of them who believed and others who denied (the Truth). If Allāh had willed, they would not have (disagreed and) fought one another - but Allāh does what He intends.

95. I.e., Adam, Moses, and Muhammad.

आयत: 254

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَ يَوۡمٞ لَّا بَيۡعٞ فِيهِ وَلَا خُلَّةٞ وَلَا شَفَٰعَةٞۗ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

254. O believers, spend (in charity) out of what We have given you before the Day comes when there will be no trading, neither any friendship, nor intercession. And the deniers - they are the unjust.

आयत: 255

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٞ وَلَا نَوۡمٞۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفۡظُهُمَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

255. Allāh - there is no god (worthy of worship) except Him, the Ever-Living, the All-Sustaining - drowsiness does not overtake Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they cannot comprehend anything out of His Knowledge except what He wills, His Kursi (Footstool) extends over the heavens and the earth96, and the preservation of them both tires Him not - and He is the Most High, the Most Great.

96. It is narrated that, "Between the first heaven and the one above it is (a distance of) five hundred years. Between each of the heavens is (a distance of) five hundred years. Between the seventh heaven and the Kursiy is (a distance of) five hundred years. Between the Kursiy and the water is (a distance of) five hundred years, and the Throne is above the water. Allāh is above the Throne, and nothing whatsoever of our deeds is hidden from Him." Muhammad, The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Kursiy in relation to the Throne is like an iron ring thrown out into the earth”.

आयत: 256

لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِي ٱلدِّينِۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشۡدُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَيِّۚ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَيُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

256. There is no compulsion in the (acceptance of) religion97. Certainly right has become clearly distinct from error. So whoever disbelieves in the Taghut (i.e., false gods, idols, devils, etc)  and believes in Allāh, he indeed has grasped the firmest handhold, which shall never break. Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

97. This is a great Islamic principle whereby no one is to be coerced to believe, but it is the duty of the believers to make sure that people know about Islam and what is right and what is wrong.
