Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 5 Al-Ma'idah, Ayat 82-85
لَـتَجِدَنَّ اَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِّـلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا الۡيَهُوۡدَ وَالَّذِيۡنَ اَشۡرَكُوۡا ۚ وَلَـتَجِدَنَّ اَ قۡرَبَهُمۡ مَّوَدَّةً لِّـلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا الَّذِيۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّا نَصٰرٰى ؕ ذٰ لِكَ بِاَنَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قِسِّيۡسِيۡنَ وَرُهۡبَانًا وَّاَنَّهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَ
﴿5:82﴾
وَاِذَا سَمِعُوۡا مَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَى الرَّسُوۡلِ تَرٰٓى اَعۡيُنَهُمۡ تَفِيۡضُ مِنَ الدَّمۡعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوۡا مِنَ الۡحَـقِّۚ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اٰمَنَّا فَاكۡتُبۡنَا مَعَ الشّٰهِدِيۡنَ
﴿5:83﴾
وَمَا لَـنَا لَا نُؤۡمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ الۡحَـقِّۙ وَنَطۡمَعُ اَنۡ يُّدۡخِلَـنَا رَبُّنَا مَعَ الۡقَوۡمِ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ
﴿5:84﴾
فَاَثَابَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِمَا قَالُوۡا جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَا ؕ وَذٰ لِكَ جَزَآءُ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ
﴿5:85﴾
(5:82) Of all men you will find the Jews and those who associate others with
Allah in His divinity to be the most hostile to those who believe; and you will
surely find that of ail people they who say: 'We are Christians', are closest
to feeling affection for those who believe. This is because there are worshipful
priests and monks among them, and because they are not arrogant. (5:83) And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger you see
that their eyes overflow with tears because of the Truth that they recognize
and they say: 'Our Lord! We do believe; write us down, therefore, with those
who bear witness (to the Truth). (5:84) And why should we not believe in Allah and the Truth which has come
down to us when we do fervently desire that our Lord include us among the righteous?'
(5:85) So Allah rewarded them for these words with Gardens beneath which
rivers flow so that they would abide there for ever. Such is the reward of the
people who do good.
