4.141 . Those who wait upon occasion in regard to you and , if a victory cometh unto you from Allah , say : Are we not with you? and if the disbelievers meet with a success say : Had we not the mastery of you , and did we not protect you from the believers? Allah will judge between you at the Day of Resurrection , and Allah will not give the disbelievers any way ( of success ) against the believers .

4.142 . Lo! the hypocrites seek to beguile Allah , but it is Allah who beguileth them . When they stand up to worship they perform it languidly and to be seen of men , and are mindful of Allah but little ;

4.143 . Swaying between this ( and that ) , ( belonging ) neither to these nor to those . He whom Allah causeth to go astray , thou ( O Muhammad ) wilt not find a way for him :

4.144 . O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for ( your ) friends in place of believers . Would ye give Allah a clear warrant against you?

4.145 . Lo! the hypocrites ( will be ) in the lowest deep of the fire , and thou wilt find no helper for them ;

4.146 . Save those who repent and amend and hold fast to Allah and make their religion pure for Allah ( only ) . Those are with the believers . And Allah will bestow on the believers an immense reward .

4.147 . What concern hath Allah for your punishment if ye are thankful ( for His mercies ) and believe ( in Him ) ? Allah was ever Responsive , Aware .

4.148 . Allah loveth not the utterance of harsh speech save by one who hath been wronged . Allah is ever Nearer , Knower .

4.149 . If ye do good openly or keep it secret , or forgive evil , lo ! Allah is Forgiving , Powerful .

4.150 . Lo! those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers , and seek to make distinction between Allah and His messengers , and say : We believe in some and disbelieve in others , and seek to choose a way in between ;

4.151 . Such are disbelievers in truth ; and for disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom .

4.152 . But those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them , unto them Allah will give their wages ; and Allah was ever Forgiving , Merciful .

4.153 . The People of the Scripture ask of thee that thou shouldst cause an ( actual ) Book to descend upon them from heaven . They asked a greater thing of Moses aforetime , for they said : Show us Allah plainly . The storm of lightning seized them for their wickedness . Then ( even after that ) they chose the calf ( for worship ) after clear proofs ( of Allah ' s Sovereignty ) had come unto them . And We forgave them that! And We bestowed on Moses evident authority .

4.154 . And We caused the Mount to tower above them at ( the taking of ) their covenant : and We bade them : Enter the gate , prostrate! and we bade them : Transgress not the Sabbath! and We took from them a firm covenant .

4.155 . Then because of their breaking of their covenant , and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah , and their slaying of the Prophets wrongfully , and their saying : Our hearts are hardened Nay , but Allah hath set a seal upon them for their disbelief , so that they believe not save a few

4.156 . And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny ;

4.157 . And because of their saying : We slew the Messiah Jesus son of Mary , Allah ' s messenger They slew him not nor crucified , but it appeared so unto them ; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof ; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture ; they slew him not for certain ,

4.158 . But Allah took him up unto Himself . Allah was ever Mighty , wise .

4.159 . There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death , and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them

4.160 . Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews We forbade them good things which were ( before ) made lawful unto them , and because of their much hindering from Allah ' s way ,
