Rukû’ 10 ركوع ١٠

Then, when you [Israelites] killed someone and started to blame one another- although God was to bring what you had concealed to light-

We said, ‘Strike the [body] with a part of [the cow]’: thus God brings the dead to life and shows His signs so that you may understand.

Even after that, your hearts became as hard as rocks, or even harder, for there are rocks from which streams spring out, and some from which water comes when they split open, and others which fall down in awe of God: He is not unaware of what you do.

So can you [believers] hope that such people will believe you, when some of them used to hear the words of God and then deliberately twist them, even when they understood them?

When they meet the believers, they say, ‘We too believe.’ But when they are alone with each other they say, ‘How could you tell them about God’s revelation [to us]? They will be able to use it to argue against you before your Lord! Have you no sense?’

Do they not know that God is well aware of what they conceal and what they reveal?

Some of them are uneducated, and know the Scripture only through wish-ful thinking. They rely on guesswork.

So woe to those who write something down with their own hands and then claim, ‘This is from God,’ in order to make some small gain. Woe to them for what their hands have written! Woe to them for all that they have earned!

They say, ‘The Fire will only touch us for a few days.’ Say to them, ‘Have you received a promise from God- for God never breaks His promise- or are you saying things about Him of which you have no real knowledge?’

Truly those who do evil and are surrounded by their sins will be the inhabitants of the Fire, there to remain,

while those who believe and do good deeds will be the inhabitants of the Garden, there to remain.
