వచనం: 71

وَحَسِبُوٓاْ أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتۡنَةٞ فَعَمُواْ وَصَمُّواْ ثُمَّ تَابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ثُمَّ عَمُواْ وَصَمُّواْ كَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ

(71) They thought that there would be no trial^[1227]; they were blinded and deafened, then Allah relented towards them, after that a great many of them were blinded and deafened—indeed Allah is All-Seeing of what they commit.

[1227] They deceived themselves by airily thinking that they would not be ‘tried’ for their grievous offences. Such self-deceit blinded and deafened them to seeing and hearing the Truth, thus they will not find a way to it. Even after God relented towards them and guided them at a certain juncture of time, a great many of them still fell back into their old ways (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī).

వచనం: 72

لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٖ

(72) Deniers indeed are those who say: “Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam”.^[1228] ˹While˺ The Messiah ˹himself ˺ said^[1229]: “Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Indeed whoever Associates with Allah, then Allah will surely forbid him ˹entry into˺ Paradise and his home will be Hellfire—the wrongdoers will never have helpers”.

[1228] Aya 5: 17 and its subject – the Christian creed – is revisited here. The specific aspects addressed being Jesus’s Lordship and the Trinity.
[1229] Cf. Luke 4: 8; Matthew 4: 10.

వచనం: 73

لَّقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَٰثَةٖۘ وَمَا مِنۡ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ وَإِن لَّمۡ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

(73) Deniers indeed are those who say: “Allah is one of three!” There never would ever be a God but One^[1230]. If they do not desist from what they say, those of them who Deny will be touched by a painful Punishment.

[1230] “Allah has never had ˹any˺ offspring, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what he created, and they would have tried to dominate one another. Glorified is Allah above ˹all˺ what they claim!” (23: 91); “Had there been other gods besides Allah in the Heavens or Earth, both ˹realms˺ would have surely been corrupted. So Glorified is Allah, Lord of the Throne, far above what they claim” (21: 22).

వచనం: 74

أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

(74) Would they not ˹then˺ repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness! Indeed Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

వచనం: 75

مَّا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُۥ صِدِّيقَةٞۖ كَانَا يَأۡكُلَانِ ٱلطَّعَامَۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرۡ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ

(75) The Messiah son of Maryam is no more than a Messenger who comes in a line of ˹many˺ Messengers and his mother is an affirmer of Truth^[1231], they both used to eat food^[1232]. Look how We lay plain the Signs for them and look how they turn away ˹from the Truth˺.

[1231] She holds the high rank of ṣiddīqūn (Affirmers of the Truth, cf. 4: 69 and 66:12). She cannot, however, be venerated way beyond this rightful station to that of divinity, cf. 5: 116 below.
[1232] Emblematic of their mortality is that both Jesus and his mother needed food for their sustenance. Very much unlike the self-sustaining God, Glory be His, in order to remain alive they had to depend on other creatures and vegetation etc. for food. A real God is not this helpless. “He ˹Allah˺ feeds, and never is He fed” (6: 14). (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)

వచనం: 76

قُلۡ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَكُمۡ ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعٗاۚ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

(76) Say ˹Muhammad˺: “Do you worship besides Allah ˹any˺ who can neither harm nor benefit you! Allah is the one who is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

వచనం: 77

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَ قَوۡمٖ قَدۡ ضَلُّواْ مِن قَبۡلُ وَأَضَلُّواْ كَثِيرٗا وَضَلُّواْ عَن سَوَآءِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ

(77) ^[1233]Say: “People of the Book, do not take an extremely hard line on your religion, that is besides the Truth, and do not follow the desires of ˹those˺ folk^[1234] who ˹themselves˺ had become misguided before, led a great many astray and missed the right path ˹themselves˺”.

[1233] Cf. 4: 171: “People of the Book, do not take an extremely hard line on your religion and say nothing about Allah except the Truth; the Messiah, ʿĪsā son of Maryam is no more than a Messenger of Allah, and His word that He cast to Maryam, and a soul from Him. Believe then in Allah and His Messengers, and say not: “Three”. Desist ˹from saying this˺ for your own good; indeed Allah is none but one God, far exalted is He above having a child. To Him belongs what is in the Heavens and Earth—sufficient is Allah as Keeper.”
[1234] Their misguided/misguiding religious leaders. (Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)
