Surah Al Maaida Ayat 49

The Table · English translation · Edition God

5:49

And judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires. And beware of them, lest they lure you away from some of what God has revealed to you. But if they turn away, know that God intends to strike them with some of their sins. In fact, a great many people are corrupt.

Surah Al Maaida Ayat 47

So let the people of the Gospel rule according to what God revealed in it. Those who do not rule according to what God revealed are the sinners.

Surah Al Maaida Ayat 48

And We revealed to you the Book, with truth, confirming the Scripture that preceded it, and superseding it. So judge between them according to what God revealed, and do not follow their desires if they differ from the truth that has come to you. For each of you We have assigned a law and a method. Had God willed, He could have made you a single nation, but He tests you through what He has given you. So compete in righteousness. To God is your return, all of you; then He will inform you of what you had disputed.

Surah Al Maaida Ayat 50

Is it the laws of the time of ignorance that they desire? Who is better than God in judgment for people who are certain?

Surah Al Maaida Ayat 51

O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies; some of them are allies of one another. Whoever of you allies himself with them is one of them. God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
