Ayah: 102

وَٱتَّبَعُواْ مَا تَتۡلُواْ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلۡكِ سُلَيۡمَٰنَۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيۡمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱلسِّحۡرَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلۡمَلَكَيۡنِ بِبَابِلَ هَٰرُوتَ وَمَٰرُوتَۚ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنۡ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَآ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ فِتۡنَةٞ فَلَا تَكۡفُرۡۖ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنۡهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِۦ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَرۡءِ وَزَوۡجِهِۦۚ وَمَا هُم بِضَآرِّينَ بِهِۦ مِنۡ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمۡۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمُواْ لَمَنِ ٱشۡتَرَىٰهُ مَا لَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِنۡ خَلَٰقٖۚ وَلَبِئۡسَ مَا شَرَوۡاْ بِهِۦٓ أَنفُسَهُمۡۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ

102. They followed (instead) what the devils had falsely related about the kingdom of Solomon. Yet Solomon did not disbelieve (practice sorcery), but the devils disbelieved, teaching people sorcery and that which was sent down to the two angels28 at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But these two do not teach anyone until they said: "We are only a trial (for you), so do not disbelieve." And yet they learn from them that (black magic) by which they might cause separation between a man and his wife; but they cannot hurt anyone with it except by God's permission, and they learned what harmed them and did not benefit them, and certainly they know that he whoever purchase (or engage in) the magic would have no share (of good) in the Hereafter. Wretched indeed is the price for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.

28. A variant reading has al-malikayn, "the two kings" who were in Babylon - Harut and Marut - here the names stand for the two angels or the two kings.

Ayah: 103

وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّقَوۡاْ لَمَثُوبَةٞ مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞۚ لَّوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ

103. If only they (the Jews) had believed and guarded 'themselves against evil', the reward from Allāh would have been better; if they only knew.

Ayah: 104

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقُولُواْ رَٰعِنَا وَقُولُواْ ٱنظُرۡنَا وَٱسۡمَعُواْۗ وَلِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

104. O believers, do not (imitate the deniers and) say (to God's messenger): Ra’ina (words of ambiguity), but say: Unthurna (words of respect) and listen. And for the disbelievers there is a painful torment29.

29. In this Verse there is evidence of severe prohibition to imitate the pagans and the deniers in their words and actions, their dress, their festivals, their worship and other matters that were not prescribed for us or approved by Islam.

Ayah: 105

مَّا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَلَا ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۡ خَيۡرٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَخۡتَصُّ بِرَحۡمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

105. Neither those who disbelieve (in the Truth) from among the followers of the (earlier) Scripture (i.e., Jews and Christians) nor the pagans do like that any good thing should be sent down to you (O believers) from your Lord. But Allāh inclusively selects to whom He wills for His mercy. For Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.
