  1. He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and praise in the evening and the morning.”
  2. The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world.
  3. “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”
  4. These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled.
  5. The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.
  6. He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
  7. She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”
  8. And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
  9. A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
  10. “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
  11. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
  12. When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
  13. “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
  14. They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
  15. God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
  16. As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
  17. And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
  18. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
  19. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
  20. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
  21. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
  22. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
  23. But if they turn away—God knows the corrupt.
  24. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
  25. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
  26. Here you are—you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
  27. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
  28. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
  29. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
  30. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
  31. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
  32. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
  33. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
  34. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
  35. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
  36. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety—God loves the pious.
  37. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
  38. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
  39. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
  40. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
