3.101 . How can ye disbelieve , when Allah ' s revelations are recited unto you , and His messenger is in your midst? He who holdeth fast to Allah , he indeed is guided unto a right path .

3.102 . O ye who believe! Observe your duty to Allah with right observance , and die not save as those who have surrendered ( unto Him ) ;

3.103 . And hold fast , all of you together , to the cable of Allah , and do not separate . And remember Allah ' s favor unto you : how ye were enemies and He made friendship between your hearts so that ye became as brothers by His grace ; and ( how ) ye were upon the brink of an abyss of fire , and He did save you from it . Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations unto you , that haply ye may be guided ,

3.104 . And there may spring from you a nation who invite to goodness , and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency . Such are they who are successful .

3.105 . And be ye not as those who separated and disputed after the clear proofs had come unto them . For such there is an awful doom ,

3.106 . On the day when ( some ) faces will be whitened and ( some ) faces will be blackened ; and as for those whose faces have been blackened , it will be said unto them : Disbelieved ye after your ( profession of ) belief? Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved .

3.107 . As for those whose faces have been whitened , Lo! in the mercy of Allah they dwell for ever .

3.108 . These are revelations of Allah . We recite them unto thee in truth . Allah willeth no injustice to ( His ) creatures .

3.109 . Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth ; and unto Allah all things are returned .

3.110 . Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind . Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency ; and ye believe in Allah . And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them . Some of them are believers ; but most of them are evil livers .

3.111 . They will not harm you save a trifling hurt , and if they fight against you they will turn and flee . And afterward they will not be helped .

3.112 . Ignominy shall be theft portion wheresoever they are found save ( where they grasp ) a rope from Allah and a rope from men . They have incurred anger from their Lord , and wretchedness is laid upon them . That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah , and slew the Prophets wrongfully . That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress .

3.113 . They are not all alike . Of the People of the Scripture there is a staunch community who recite the revelations of Allah in the night season , falling prostrate ( before Him ) .

3.114 . They believe in Allah and the Last Day , and enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency , and vie one with another in good works . They are of the righteous .

3.115 . And whatever good they do , they will not be denied the meed thereof . Allah is Aware of those who ward off ( evil ) .

3.116 . Lo! the riches and the progeny of those who disbelieve will not avail them aught against Allah ; and such are rightful owners of the Fire . They will abide therein .

3.117 . The likeness of that which they spend in this life of the world is as the likeness of a biting , icy wind which smiteth the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves , and devastateth it . Allah wronged them not , but they did wrong themselves .

3.118 . O ye who believe! Take not for intimates others than your own folk , who would spare no pains to ruin you ; they love to hamper you . Hatred is revealed by ( the utterance of ) their mouths , but that which their breasts hide is greater . We have made plain for you the revelations if ye will understand .

3.119 . O ye are those who love them though they love you not , and ye believe in all the Scripture . When they fall in with you they say : We believe ; but when they go apart they bite their finger tips at you , for rage . Say : Perish in your rage! Lo! Allah is Aware of what is hidden in ( your ) breasts .

3.120 . If a lucky chance befall you , it is evil unto them , and if disaster strike you they rejoice thereat . But if ye persevere and keep from evil their guile will never harm you . Lo! Allah is Surrounding what they do .
