Ayah: 164

وَإِذۡ قَالَتۡ أُمَّةٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوۡمًا ٱللَّهُ مُهۡلِكُهُمۡ أَوۡ مُعَذِّبُهُمۡ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗاۖ قَالُواْ مَعۡذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُونَ

164. When a community of them said: "Why do you preach to a people32 whom Allāh is about to destroy or chastise with a severe Chastisement? "They said: "To be free from blame before 'Allāh' your Lord, and that they may guard themselves against evil.

32. While we can’t force others to turn from sinful behaviors, we can compassionately confront them. We can “speak the truth in love” so that we both become followers of Prophet Muhammad's perfect example ”.

Ayah: 165

فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَنجَيۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلسُّوٓءِ وَأَخَذۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ بِعَذَابِۭ بَـِٔيسِۭ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ

165. When they forgot what they had been reminded of, We delivered those who forbade evil, and seized those who did iniquity with a miserable torment, for they used to rebel (against Us).

Ayah: 166

Ayah: 167

وَإِذۡ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبۡعَثَنَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمۡ سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

167. When your Lord (Allāh) declared that He would surely send against them (the unbelieving Jews) those who would afflict them with the worst torment until the Day of Resurrection. Your Lord is certainly Quick in punishment, and surely He is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Ayah: 168

وَقَطَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أُمَمٗاۖ مِّنۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ وَمِنۡهُمۡ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَبَلَوۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡحَسَنَٰتِ وَٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ

168. And We split them up on the earth into communities (the Jews, some) of them being righteous and (others) less than that. We tried them with good (times) and bad that they might turn (to Allāh in repentance).

Ayah: 169

فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٞ وَرِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ يَأۡخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡأَدۡنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغۡفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأۡتِهِمۡ عَرَضٞ مِّثۡلُهُۥ يَأۡخُذُوهُۚ أَلَمۡ يُؤۡخَذۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّيثَٰقُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّ وَدَرَسُواْ مَا فِيهِۗ وَٱلدَّارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

169. Then there succeeded after them a succession who inherited the Scripture, taking the offer of this lowly life33 saying, "It will be forgiven to us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will again take it. Was not a covenant taken from them in the Scripture that they would not speak anything about Allāh except the Truth, and they have studied what is in it. The home of the Hereafter is better for those who guard against evil. Do you not then understand?

33. I.e., unlawful gains and pleasures.

Ayah: 170

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُصۡلِحِينَ

170. But those who hold fast34 to the Scripture and keep up the prayer, We do not waste the reward of the reformers.
