“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the
Jews…” (5:82).
“Curses were pronounced on
those among the Children of Israel who
rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary:
because
they disobeyed and persisted in excesses.” (5:78).
“Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it
aside? The truth is, most of them believe not. And when there came to
them a
messenger from Allah [Muhammad], confirming what was with them [the
Torah], a
party of the people of the Book
threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs,
as if (it had been something) they did not know!” (2:100-101).
“The People of the Book know well that that is the truth from their
Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do” (2:143-144).
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that
forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor
acknowledge
the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book,
until they
pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued”
(9:29).
“And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of
Allah, and the Christians say:
The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths.
They
imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself)
fighteth
against them. How perverse are they!” (9:30)
The Jews killed their prophets
(2:61; 2:87; 2:91; 3:21; 3:112; 3:181;
3:183; 4:155; 5:70), and boast “we killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of
Mary”
(4:157).
“Allah hath heard the taunt of those
who say: ‘Truly, Allah is indigent
and we are rich!’ We shall certainly record their word and (their act)
of
slaying the prophets in defiance of right, and We shall say: ‘Taste ye
the
penalty of the Scorching Fire!’” (3:181)
“Why
do not the rabbis and the doctors
of Law forbid them from their
(habit of) uttering sinful words and eating things forbidden? Evil
indeed are
their works.” (5:63)
“The Jews say: ‘Allah’s
hand is tied up.’ Be their hands
tied up and
be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are
widely
outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But
the
revelation that cometh to thee
from Allah increaseth in most of them their
obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity
and hatred
till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah
doth
extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah
loveth
not those who do mischief” (5:64).
The Jews
“strive to do mischief on earth” – that is, fasaad, for which
the punishment is specified in 5:33: “they will be killed or crucified,
or have
their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out
of the
land.”
“Ye are the best of peoples, evolved
for mankind, enjoining what is
right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the
People of
the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have
faith,
but most of them are perverted transgressors. They will do you no harm,
barring
a trifling annoyance; if they come out to fight you, they will show you
their
backs, and no help shall they get. Shame is pitched over them (like a
tent)
wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection)
from Allah
and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over
them is
(the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of
Allah, and
slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and
transgressed beyond bounds.” (3:110-112)
“And
because of their breaking their covenant, We have cursed them and
made hard their hearts. They change words from their context and forget a
part
of that whereof they were admonished. Thou wilt not cease to discover
treachery
from all save a few of them. But bear with them and pardon them. Lo!
Allah
loveth the kindly (5:13).
“Among the People
of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard
of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a
single
silver coin, will not repay it
unless thou constantly stoodest demanding,
because, they say, ‘there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these
ignorant
(Pagans).’ but they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it.”
(3:75)
“O Messenger! let not those grieve
thee, who race each other into
unbelief: (whether it be) among those who say ‘We believe’ with their
lips but
whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews -- men who will
listen to
any lie -- will listen even to others who have never so much as come to
thee.
They change the words from their (right) times and places: they say, ‘If
ye are
given this, take it, but if not, beware!’ If any one’s trial is intended
by
Allah, thou hast no authority in the least for him against Allah. For
such - it
is not Allah’s will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace
in this
world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.” (5:41)
“There is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their
tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture,
when it is
not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not
from
Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly” (3:78).
“Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then
say: ‘This is from Allah,’ to traffic with it for miserable price! Woe
to them
for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.”
(2:79)
“But because of their breach of their
covenant, We cursed them, and
made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right)
places and
forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou
cease to
find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them,
and
overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind.” (5:13)
“Many of the People of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers
after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth
hath
become manifest unto them’”
(2:109).
“And when there comes to them a Book
from Allah, confirming what is
with them, although from of old they had prayed for victory against
those
without Faith, when there comes to them that which they (should) have
recognised, they refuse to believe in it but the curse of Allah is on
those
without Faith. “ (2:89)
“For the iniquity of
the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods)
good and wholesome which had been lawful for them; in that they hindered
many
from Allah’s Way; that they took usury, though they were forbidden; and
that
they devoured men’s substance wrongfully; we have prepared for those
among them
who reject faith a grievous punishment.” (4:160-161)
“Thou wilt indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life,-even
more than the idolaters: Each one of them wishes He could be given a
life of a
thousand years: But the grant of such life will not save him from (due)
punishment. For Allah sees well all that they do.” (2:96)
Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-66; 5:59-60;
7:166).
