Qur'an 20090224

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

74. Why turn they not to Allah, and seek God's forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.

75. Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger. Many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both had to eat their food. See how Allah does make God's Signs clear to them. Yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!

76. Say, "Will you worship, besides Allah, something which has no power either to harm or benefit you? But Allah: God it is that Hears and Knows all things."

77. Say, "O people of the Book! Exceed not in your religion the bounds trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by, who misled many, and strayed from the Even Way."

O people of the Book! Exceed not in your religion the bounds trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by, who misled many, and strayed from the Even Way.
