Surah Baqarah 68-86. 68.They said, Call upon your Lord for us that He may make plain to us what it is! He said, He says, Verily, it is a cow neither too old nor too young, but (it is) between the two conditions, so do what you are commanded. 69.They said, Call upon your Lord for us to make plain to us its colour. He said, He says, It is a yellow cow, bright in its colour, pleasing to the beholders. 70.They said, Call upon your Lord for us to make plain to us what it is. Verily to us all cows are alike, And surely, if Allah wills, we will be guided. 71.He [Musa (Moses)] said, He says, It is a cow neither trained to till the soil nor water the fields, sound, having no other colour except bright yellow. They said, Now you have brought the truth. So they slaughtered it though they were near to not doing it. 72.And (remember) when you killed a man and fell into dispute among yourselves as to the crime. But Allah brought forth that which you were hiding. 73.So We said: Strike him (the dead man) with a piece of it (the cow). Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you HisAyat(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) so that you may understand. 74.Then, after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even worse in hardness. And indeed, there are stones out of whichrivers gush forth, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which split asunder so that water flows from them, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which fall down for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. 75.Do you (faithful believers) covet that they will believe in your religion inspite of the fact that a party of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allah [the Taurat (Torah)], then they used to change it knowingly after they understood it? 76.And when they (Jews) meet those who believe (Muslims), they say, We believe, but when they meet one another in private, they say, Shall you (Jews) tell them (Muslims) what Allah has revealed to you [Jews, about the description and the qualities of Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him , that which are written in the Taurat (Torah)], that they (Muslims) may argue with you (Jews) about it before your Lord? Have you (Jews) then no understanding? 77.Know they (Jews) not that Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal? 78.And there are among them (Jews) unlettered people, who know not the Book, but they trust upon false desires and they but guess. 79.Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say, This is from Allah, to purchase with it a little price! Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for that they earn thereby. 80.And they (Jews) say, The Fire (i.e. Hell-fire on the Day of Resurrection) shall not touch us but for a few numbered days. Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him to them): Have you taken a covenant from Allah, so that Allah will not break His Covenant? Or is it that you say of Allah what you know not? 81.Yes! Whosoever earns evil and his sin has surrounded him, they are dwellers of the Fire (i.e. Hell); they will dwell therein forever. 82.And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell therein forever. 83.And (remember) when We took a covenant from the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none but Allah (Alone) and be dutiful and good to parents, and to kindred, and to orphans andAl-Masakin(the poor), [Tafsir At-Tabari,Vol. 10, Page 158 (Verse 9:60)] and speak good to people [i.e. enjoin righteousness and forbid evil, and say the truth about Muhammad Peace be upon him ], and performAs-Salat(Iqamat-as-Salat), and giveZakat. Then you slid back, except a few of you, while you are backsliders. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi,Vol. 2, Page 392). 84.And (remember) when We took your covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your people, nor turn out your own people from their dwellings. Then, (this) you ratified and (to this) you bear witness. 85.After this, it is you who kill one another and drive out a party of you from their homes, assist (their enemies) against them, in sin and transgression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their expulsion was forbidden to you. Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. 86.Those are they who have bought the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter. Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped.
