[Maidah 5:58] And when you call to prayer, they mock and make fun of it; this is because they are people without any sense. [Maidah 5:59] Say, �O People given the Book(s)! What do you dislike in us - except that we believe in Allah and what is sent down to us and what was sent down before, and because most of you are disobedient?� [Maidah 5:60] Say, �Shall I tell you of those who are in a worse position than this, in Allah�s sight? It is those whom Allah has cursed and has wreaked His wrath upon and turned some of them into apes and swine, and worshippers of the devil; theirs is a worse destination and they have wandered further astray from the Straight Path.� [Maidah 5:61] And when they come to you, they say, �We are Muslims� whereas they were disbelievers when they came in, and disbelievers when they went out; and Allah knows very well, what they hide. [Maidah 5:62] And you will see many of them rushing towards sin and oppression, and to devour the forbidden; undoubtedly what they do is extremely evil. [Maidah 5:63] Why do not their priests and monks forbid them from speaking evil and devouring the forbidden? Undoubtedly what they do is extremely evil. [Maidah 5:64] And the Jews said, �Allah�s hand* is tied";
may their hands be tied - and they are accursed for saying so! In fact,
both His hands * are free, He bestows upon whomever He wills; and O dear
Prophet, this Book which has been sent down upon you from your Lord will
cause many of them to advance in their rebellion and disbelief; and We
have instilled enmity and hatred between them till the Day of Resurrection;
whenever they ignite the flame of war, Allah extinguishes it, and they
strive to create chaos in the land; and Allah does not love the mischievous.
