Translation of Verse 163-171

163. Indeed, We have sent revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ as We sent revelation to Noah and the prophets after him. We also sent revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants, ˹as well as˺ Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And to David We gave the Psalms.

164. There are messengers whose stories We have told you already and others We have not. And to Moses Allah spoke directly.

165. ˹All were˺ messengers delivering good news and warnings so humanity should have no excuse before Allah after ˹the coming of˺ the messengers. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

166. Yet ˹if you are denied, O Prophet,˺ Allah bears witness to what He has sent down to you-He has sent it with His knowledge. The angels too bear witness. And Allah ˹alone˺ is sufficient as a Witness.

167. Those who disbelieve and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah have certainly strayed far away.

168. Those who disbelieve and wrong themselves-surely Allah will neither forgive them nor guide them to any path

169. except that of Hell, to stay there for ever and ever. And that is easy for Allah.

170. O humanity! The Messenger has certainly come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe for your own good. But if you disbelieve, then ˹know that˺ to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

171. O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. ²³⁶ The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit ˹created by a command˺ from Him. ²³⁷ So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, "Trinity." Stop!-for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

Commentary

236. The Jews are warned against denying Jesus as the Messiah, while Christians are warned against calling Jesus Allah.

237. i.e., Jesus was created by Allah's Word "Be!" and he was, and life was breathed into Jesus by the holy spirit (the angel Gabriel) at the command of Allah.
