Qur'an 20100208

45. Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to you, and establish regular prayer, for prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds. And rememberance of Allah is the greatest, without doubt. And Allah knows what you do.

46. And dispute you not with the people of the Book except with means better, unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong. But say, "We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you: our God and your God is One, and it is to God we bow".

47. And thus, that We have sent down the Book to you. So the people of the Book believe therein, as also do some of these, and none but unbelievers reject Our Signs.

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

48. But when the Truth comes to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not sent to him like those which were sent to Moses?" Didn't they reject which were formerly sent to Moses? They say, "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!" And they say, "For us, we reject it all!"

Qur'an 2010117

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

65. Say, "None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden. Nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up."

67. The unbelievers say, "What! When we become dust, we and our fathers, shall we really be raised?"

68. "It is true we were promised this, we and our fathers before. These are nothing but tales of the ancients."

69. Say, "Go you through the earth, and see what has been the end of those guilty."

70. But grieve not over them, nor distress yourself because of their plots.

71. They also say, "When is this promise, if you are truthful?"

72. Say, "It may be that some of the events which you wish to hasten may be in your pursuit!"

73. But verily your Lord is full of grace to humans, yet most of them are ungrateful.
