وَقَالَت طَّآئفَةٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْکِتَـابِ ءَامِنُواْ بِالَّذِی أُنزِلَ عَلَى الَّذِینَ ءَامَنُواْ وَجْهَ النَّهَارِ وَاکْفُرُواْ ءَاخِرَهُ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُونَ(( 72 ))

72- AND A PARTY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK ( THE JEWS) SAID: ``BELIEVE IN THAT WHICH IS SENT TO THE BELIEVERS IN THE MORNING, AND DENY IT IN THE EVENING, PERHAPS THEY MAY RETURN (RECANT)''

وَلاَ تُؤْمِنُواْ إِلاَّ لِمَن تَبِعَ دِینَکُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ الْهُدَى هُدَى اللهِ أَن یُؤْتَى أَحَدٌ مِّثْلَ مَآ أُوتِیتُمْ أَوْ یُحَآجُّوکُمْ عِندَ رَبِّکُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِیَدِ اللهِ یُؤْتِیهِ مَن یَشَآءُ وَاللهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیمٌ(( 73 ))

73- (THE JEWS ALSO SAY) AND DO NOT BELIEVE EXCEPT IN HIM WHO FOLLOWS YOUR RELIGION; SAY: (THE REAL) GUIDANCE IS THE GUIDANCE OF ALLAH. (THEY THEN ADDED, BEWARE) LEST ANY ONE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE LIKE OF WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN, OR THAT THOSE (RECEIVING SUCH REVELATIONS) SHOULD DISPUTE WITH YOU BEFORE YOUR LORD; SAY: GRACE IS IN THE HAND OF ALLAH. HE GIVES IT TO WHOM HE WILL, AND ALLAH IS THE EXTENDER, ALL- KNOWING.

یَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَن یَشَآءُ وَاللهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیمِ(( 74 ))

74- HE ADOPTS FOR HIS PARTICULAR MERCY WHOM HE WILL. ALLAH IS THE LORD OF GREAT BOUNTIES.
