Sahih International
Those  who  follow  the  Messenger,  the  unlettered  prophet,  whom  they  find  written  in what  they  have  of  the  Torah  and  the  Gospel,  who  enjoins  upon  them  what  is  right  and forbids  them  what  is  wrong  and  makes  lawful  for  them  the  good  things  and  prohibits for  them  the  evil  and  relieves  them  of  their  burden  and  the  shackles  which  were  upon them.  So  they  who  have  believed  in  him,  honored  him,  supported  him  and  followed  the light  which  was  sent  down  with  him  -   it  is  those  who  will  be  the  successful.
Sahih International
Say,  [O  Muhammad],  "O  mankind,  indeed  I  am  the  Messenger  of Allah to  you  all,  [from Him]  to  whom  belongs  the  dominion  of  the  heavens  and  the  earth.  There  is  no  deity except  Him;  He  gives  life  and  causes  death."  So  believe  in Allah and  His  Messenger, the  unlettered  prophet,  who  believes  in Allah and  His  words,  and  follow  him  that  you may  be  guided.
Sahih International
And  among  the  people  of  Moses  is  a  community  which  guides  by  truth  and  by  it establishes  justice.
Sahih International
And  We  divided  them  into  twelve  descendant  tribes  [as  distinct]  nations.  And  We inspired  to  Moses  when  his  people  implored  him  for  water,  "Strike  with  your  staff  the stone,"  and  there  gushed  forth  from  it  twelve  springs.  Every  people  knew  its  watering place.  And  We  shaded  them  with  clouds  and  sent  down  upon  them  manna  and  quails, [saying],  "Eat  from  the  good  things  with  which  We  have  provided  you."  And  they wronged  Us  not,  but  they  were  [only]  wronging  themselves.
Sahih International
And  [mention,  O  Muhammad],  when  it  was  said  to  them,  "Dwell  in  this  city  and  eat from  it  wherever  you  will  and  say,  'Relieve  us  of  our  burdens,'  and  enter  the  gate bowing  humbly;  We  will  [then]  forgive  you  your  sins.  We  will  increase  the  doers  of  good [in  goodness  and  reward]."
Sahih International
But  those  who  wronged  among  them  changed  [the  words]  to  a  statement  other  than that  which  had  been  said  to  them.  So  We  sent  upon  them  a  punishment  from  the  sky for  the  wrong  that  they  were  doing.
Sahih International
And  ask  them  about  the  town  that  was  by  the  sea  -   when  they  transgressed  in  [the matter  of]  the  sabbath  -   when  their  fish  came  to  them  openly  on  their  sabbath  day, and  the  day  they  had  no  sabbath  they  did  not  come  to  them.  Thus  did  We  give  them trial  because  they  were  defiantly  disobedient.
Sahih International
And  when  a  community  among  them  said,  "Why  do  you  advise  [or  warn]  a  people whom Allah is  [about]  to  destroy  or  to  punish  with  a  severe  punishment?"  they  [the advisors]  said,  "To  be  absolved  before  your  Lord  and  perhaps  they  may  fear  Him."
Sahih International
And  when  they  forgot  that  by  which  they  had  been  reminded,  We  saved  those  who  had forbidden  evil  and  seized  those  who  wronged,  with  a  wretched  punishment,  because they  were  defiantly  disobeying.
Sahih International
So  when  they  were  insolent  about  that  which  they  had  been  forbidden,  We  said  to them,  "Be  apes,  despised."
Sahih International
And  [mention]  when  your  Lord  declared  that  He  would  surely  [continue  to]  send  upon them  until  the  Day  of  Resurrection  those  who  would  afflict  them  with  the  worst torment.  Indeed,  your  Lord  is  swift  in  penalty;  but  indeed,  He  is  Forgiving  and Merciful.
Sahih International
And  We  divided  them  throughout  the  earth  into  nations.    Of  them  some  were righteous,  and  of  them  some  were  otherwise.  And  We  tested  them  with  good  [times] and  bad  that  perhaps  they  would  return  [to  obedience].
Sahih International
And  there  followed  them  successors  who  inherited  the  Scripture  [while]  taking  the commodities  of  this  lower  life  and  saying,  "It  will  be  forgiven  for  us."  And  if  an  offer  like it  comes  to  them,  they  will  [again]  take  it.  Was  not  the  covenant  of  the  Scripture  taken from  them  that  they  would  not  say  about Allah except  the  truth,  and  they  studied what  was  in  it?  And  the  home  of  the  Hereafter  is  better  for  those  who  fear Allah ,  so  will you  not  use  reason?
