forbade himself before the Torah had been revealed. Say: 'Bring the
Torah and read it, if what you say be true.'
Those that after this invent falsehoods about Allah are great
transgressors.
Say: 'Allah has declared the truth. Follow the faith of Ibrahim. He
was an upright man, no polytheist.
The first House ever to be built (as sanctuary) for was that at Bakkah
(Makkah), a blessed place, a beacon for the nations. In it, there are clear
signs and the spot where Ibrahim stood. Whoever enters it is safe.
Pilgrimage to the House is a duty toAllah for all who make the journey.
As for the unbelievers,Allah can surely dowithout all creatures.
Say: 'People of the Book, why do you deny the revelations of Allah?
He bears witness to all your actions.'
Say: 'People of the Book, why do you debar believers from the path of
Allah and seek to make it crooked when you know that it is straight?
Allah is watching over all your actions.'
O believers, if you yield to some of those who were given the Book,
they will turn you back from belief to unbelief. But how can you
disbelieve when Allah's revelations are recited to you and His own
Apostle is in your midst! He that holds fast to Allah shall be guided to
the right path.
Believers, fear Allah as you rightly should, and do not die except as
Muslims. Cling one and all to the faith of Allah and let nothing divide
you. Remember the favours He has bestowed upon you: howHe united
your hearts when you were enemies, so that you are now brothers
