You Would Think It Is a Part of the Book but it Is No Part of the Book Quran 3:72-80 Surah Ale-Imran (The Family of Imran) A section of the People of the Book say: Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) turn back. And believe no one unless he follows your religion. Say: True guidance is the guidance of Allah; (fear ye) lest a revelation be sent to someone (else) like unto that which was sent unto you. Or that those (receiving such revelation) should engage you in argument before your Lord. Say: All bounties are in the hand of Allah: He granteth them to whom He pleaseth; and Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. For His Mercy He specially chooseth whom He pleaseth: for Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded. Among the People of the Book are some who if entrusted with a hoard of gold will (readily) pay it back; others who if entrusted with a single silver coin will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding because they say There is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (pagans). But they tell a lie against Allah and (well) they know it. Nay. Those that keep their plighted faith and act aright verily Allah loves those who act aright. As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price they shall have no portion in the hereafter: nor will Allah (deign to) speak to them or look at them on the Day of Judgment nor will He cleanse them (of sin); they shall have a grievous penalty. There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues; (as they read) you would think it is a part of the Book but it is no part of the Book; and they say That is from Allah but it is not from Allah: it is they who tell a lie against Allah and (well) they know it! It is not (possible) that a man to whom is given the Book and Wisdom and the prophetic office should say to people: Be ye my worshippers rather than Allahs; on the contrary (he would say): Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all for ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly. Nor would he instruct you to take angels and prophets for Lords and Patrons. What! Would he bid you to unbelief after ye have bowed your will (to Allah in Islam)?
