⁹² By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth God knoweth it well.

⁹³ All food was lawful to the children of Israel, except what Israel made unlawful for itself, before the Law (of Moses) was revealed. Say: “Bring ye the Law and study it, if ye be men of truth.”

⁹⁴ If any, after this, invent a lie and attribute it to God, they are indeed unjust wrong-doers.

⁹⁵ Say: “God speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans.”

⁹⁶ The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka: full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings:

⁹⁷ In it are Signs manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to God, those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, God stands not in need of any of his creatures.

⁹⁸ Say: “O people of the Book! Why reject ye the signs of God, when God is Himself witness to all ye do?

⁹⁹ Say: “O ye People of the Book! Why obstruct ye those who believe from the Path of God, seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to God’s Covenant)? But God is not unmindful of all that ye do.”

¹⁰⁰ O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed!

¹⁰¹ And how would ye deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of God, and among you lives the Apostle? Whoever holds firmly to God will be shown a way that is straight.
