Surah Aal Imraan Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

3:41

قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِّیْۤ اٰیَةًؕ-قَالَ اٰیَتُكَ اَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَةَ اَیَّامٍ اِلَّا رَمْزًاؕ-وَ اذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ كَثِیْرًا وَّ سَبِّحْ بِالْعَشِیِّ وَ الْاِبْكَارِ۠(۴۱)

And Zachariah said: "Give me a token, O Lord." "The token will be," was the reply, "that you will speak to no man for three days except by signs; and remember your Lord much, and pray at evening and sunrise."

'Lord,' said Zachariah, 'appoint to me a sign.' 'Thy sign,' God said, 'is that thou shalt not speak, save by tokens, to men for three days. And mention thy Lord oft, and give glory at evening and dawn.'

3:42

وَ اِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ یٰمَرْیَمُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفٰىكِ وَ طَهَّرَكِ وَ اصْطَفٰىكِ عَلٰى نِسَآءِ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(۴۲)

The angels said: "O Mary, indeed God has favoured you and made you immaculate, and chosen you from all the women of the world.

And when the angels said, 'Mary, God has chosen thee, and purified thee; He has chosen thee above all women.

3:43

یٰمَرْیَمُ اقْنُتِیْ لِرَبِّكِ وَ اسْجُدِیْ وَ ارْكَعِیْ مَعَ الرّٰكِعِیْنَ(۴۳)

So adore your Lord, O Mary, and pay homage and bow with those who bow in prayer."

Mary; be obedient to thy Lord, prostrating and bowing before Him.'

3:44

ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَیْبِ نُوْحِیْهِ اِلَیْكَؕ-وَ مَا كُنْتَ لَدَیْهِمْ اِذْ یُلْقُوْنَ اَقْلَامَهُمْ اَیُّهُمْ یَكْفُلُ مَرْیَمَ۪-وَ مَا كُنْتَ لَدَیْهِمْ اِذْ یَخْتَصِمُوْنَ(۴۴)

This is news of the Unknown that We send you, for you were not there when they cast lots with quills (to determine) who should take care of Mary, nor when they disputed it.

(That is of the tidings of the Unseen, that We reveal to thee; for thou wast not with them, when they were casting quills which of them should have charge of Mary; thou wast not with them, when they were disputing.)

3:45

اِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ یٰمَرْیَمُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنْهُۙ-اسْمُهُ الْمَسِیْحُ عِیْسَى ابْنُ مَرْیَمَ وَجِیْهًا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَۙ(۴۵)

When the angels said: "O Mary, God gives you news of a thing from Him, for rejoicing, (news of one) whose name will be Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in this world and the next, and one among the honoured,

When the angels said, 'Mary, God gives thee good tidings of a Word from Him whose name is Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary; high honoured shall he be in this world and the next, near stationed to God.

3:46

وَ یُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِی الْمَهْدِ وَ كَهْلًا وَّ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(۴۶)

Who will speak to the people when in the cradle and when in the prime of life, and will be among the upright and doers of good."

He shall speak to men in the cradle, and of age, and righteous he shall be.'

3:47

قَالَتْ رَبِّ اَنّٰى یَكُوْنُ لِیْ وَلَدٌ وَّ لَمْ یَمْسَسْنِیْ بَشَرٌؕ-قَالَ كَذٰلِكِ اللّٰهُ یَخْلُقُ مَا یَشَآءُؕ-اِذَا قَضٰۤى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا یَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ(۴۷)

وَ یُعَلِّمُهُ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ التَّوْرٰىةَ وَ الْاِنْجِیْلَۚ(۴۸)

He will teach him the Law and the judgement, and the Torah and the Gospel,

And He will teach him the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah, the Gospel,

3:49

وَ رَسُوْلًا اِلٰى بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ﳔ اَنِّیْ قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِاٰیَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ ﳐ اَنِّیْۤ اَخْلُقُ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الطِّیْنِ كَهَیْــٴَـةِ الطَّیْرِ فَاَنْفُخُ فِیْهِ فَیَكُوْنُ طَیْرًۢا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۚ-وَ اُبْرِئُ الْاَكْمَهَ وَ الْاَبْرَصَ وَ اُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰى بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِۚ-وَ اُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ وَ مَا تَدَّخِرُوْنَۙ-فِیْ بُیُوْتِكُمْؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَۚ(۴۹)

And he will be Apostle to the children of Israel, (saying:) ´I have come to you with a prodigy from your Lord that I will fashion the state of destiny out of mire for you, and breathe (a new spirit) into it, and (you) will rise by the will of God. I will heal the blind and the leper , and infuse life into the dead, by the leave of God. I will tell you what you devour and what you hoard in your homes. In this will be a portent for you if you do believe.

to be a Messenger to the Children of Israel saying, "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I will create for you out of clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will breathe into it, and it will be a bird, by the leave of God. I will also heal the blind and the leper, and bring to life the dead, by the leave of God. I will inform you too of what things you eat, and what you treasure up in your houses. Surely in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.

3:50

وَ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَیْنَ یَدَیَّ مِنَ التَّوْرٰىةِ وَ لِاُحِلَّ لَكُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِیْ حُرِّمَ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ جِئْتُكُمْ بِاٰیَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ۫-فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اَطِیْعُوْنِ(۵۰)

I (have come to) confirm the truth of the Torah which was sent down before me, and make certain things lawful which have been forbidden until now; and I come to you with a sign from your Lord; so be fearful of God and follow me.

Likewise confirming the truth of the Torah that is before me, and to make lawful to you certain things that before were forbidden unto you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear you God, and obey you me.

3:51

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّیْ وَ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُؕ-هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِیْمٌ(۵۱)

Surely God is my Lord, and your Lord, so worship Him; and this is the right path.

Surely God is my Lord and your Lord; so serve Him. This is a straight path".'

3:52

فَلَمَّاۤ اَحَسَّ عِیْسٰى مِنْهُمُ الْكُفْرَ قَالَ مَنْ اَنْصَارِیْۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِؕ-قَالَ الْحَوَارِیُّوْنَ نَحْنُ اَنْصَارُ اللّٰهِۚ-اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِۚ-وَ اشْهَدْ بِاَنَّا مُسْلِمُوْنَ(۵۲)

When Jesus perceived their unbelief he asked: "Who will help me in the way of God?" "We," the disciples answered, "shall be the helpers of God. We believe in God; and you be our witness that we submit and obey.

And when Jesus perceived their unbelief, he said, 'Who will be my helpers unto God?' The Apostles said, 'We will be helpers of God; we believe in God; witness thou our submission.

3:53

رَبَّنَاۤ اٰمَنَّا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلْتَ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُوْلَ فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشّٰهِدِیْنَ(۵۳)

"O Lord, we believe in Your revelations and follow this Apostle. Enroll us among the witnesses."

Lord, we believe in that Thou hast sent down, and we follow the Messenger. Inscribe us therefore with those who bear witness.'

3:54

وَ مَكَرُوْا وَ مَكَرَ اللّٰهُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ خَیْرُ الْمٰكِرِیْنَ۠(۵۴)

And they devised, and God devised, and God is the best of devisers.

3:55

اِذْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ یٰعِیْسٰۤى اِنِّیْ مُتَوَفِّیْكَ وَ رَافِعُكَ اِلَیَّ وَ مُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ جَاعِلُ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْكَ فَوْقَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِلٰى یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِۚ-ثُمَّ اِلَیَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَاَحْكُمُ بَیْنَكُمْ فِیْمَا كُنْتُمْ فِیْهِ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ(۵۵)

When God said: "O Jesus, I will take you to Myself and exalt you, and rid you of the infidels, and hold those who follow you above those who disbelieve till the Day of Resurrection. You have then to come back to Me when I will judge between you in what you were at variance."

When God said, 'Jesus, I will take thee to Me and will raise thee to Me and I will purify thee of those who believe not. I will set thy followers above the unbelievers till the Resurrection Day. Then unto Me shall you return, and I will decide between you, as to what you were at variance on.

3:56

فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَاُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِیْدًا فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ٘-وَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِیْنَ(۵۶)

Those who are infidels will surely receive severe punishment both in this world and the next; and none will they have to help (or save) them.

As for the unbelievers, I will chastise them with a terrible chastisement in this world and the next; they shall have no helpers.'

3:57

وَ اَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَیُوَفِّیْهِمْ اُجُوْرَهُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یُحِبُّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۵۷)

But those who believe and do good deeds shall be given their recompense in full; but God does not love the unjust.

But as for the believers, who do deeds of righteousness, He will pay them in full their wages: and God loves not the evildoers.

3:58

ذٰلِكَ نَتْلُوْهُ عَلَیْكَ مِنَ الْاٰیٰتِ وَ الذِّكْرِ الْحَكِیْمِ(۵۸)

These verses that We read to you are signs and reminder full of wisdom.

This We recite to thee of signs and wise remembrance.

3:59

اِنَّ مَثَلَ عِیْسٰى عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ كَمَثَلِ اٰدَمَؕ-خَلَقَهٗ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ(۵۹)

For God the likeness of Jesus is as that of Adam whom He fashioned out of dust and said "Be" and he was.

Truly, the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him of dust, then said He unto him, 'Be,' and he was.

3:60

اَلْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُنْ مِّنَ الْمُمْتَرِیْنَ(۶۰)

This is the truth from your Lord, so do not be in doubt.

The truth is of God; be not of the doubters.

3:61

فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِیْهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ اَبْنَآءَنَا وَ اَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَ نِسَآءَنَا وَ نِسَآءَكُمْ وَ اَنْفُسَنَا وَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ- ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَلْ لَّعْنَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الْكٰذِبِیْنَ(۶۱)

Tell those who dispute this with you even after the knowledge that has reached you: "Come, let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, and pray and solicit God to condemn those who lie."

And whoso disputes with thee concerning him, after the knowledge that has come to thee, say: 'Come now, let us call our sons and your sons, our wives and your wives, our selves and your selves, then let us humbly pray and so lay God's curse upon the ones who lie.'

3:62

اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الْقَصَصُ الْحَقُّۚ-وَ مَا مِنْ اِلٰهٍ اِلَّا اللّٰهُؕ-وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ(۶۲)

And this verily is the true account. There is no god but God, and God is all-mighty and all-wise.

This is the true story. There is no god but God, and assuredly God is the All-mighty, the All-wise.

3:63

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُفْسِدِیْنَ۠(۶۳)

If they turn away (remember) God knows the mischief-mongers.

And if they turn their backs, assuredly God knows the workers of corruption.

3:64

قُلْ یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ تَعَالَوْا اِلٰى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَآءٍۭ بَیْنَنَا وَ بَیْنَكُمْ اَلَّا نَعْبُدَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ وَ لَا نُشْرِكَ بِهٖ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ لَا یَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا اَرْبَابًا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُوْلُوا اشْهَدُوْا بِاَنَّا مُسْلِمُوْنَ(۶۴)

Tell them: "O people of the Book, let us come to an agreement on that which is common between us, that we worship no one but God, and make none His compeer, and that none of us take any others for lord apart from God." If they turn away you tell them: "Bear witness that we submit to Him."

Say: 'People of the Book! Come now to a word common between us and you, that we serve none but God, and that we associate not aught with Him, and do not some of us take others as Lords, apart from God.' And if they turn their backs, say: 'Bear witness that we are Muslims.'

3:65

یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تُحَآجُّوْنَ فِیْۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَتِ التَّوْرٰىةُ وَ الْاِنْجِیْلُ اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖؕ-اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ(۶۵)

O people of the Book, why dispute about Abraham? The Torah and the Gospel were sent down after him: Do you not understand?

People of the Book! Why do you dispute concerning Abraham? The Torah was not sent down, neither the Gospel, but after him. What, have you no reason?

3:66

هٰۤاَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ حَاجَجْتُمْ فِیْمَا لَكُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ فَلِمَ تُحَآجُّوْنَ فِیْمَا لَیْسَ لَكُمْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ وَ اَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ(۶۶)

Remember you are those who disputed the things you knew; so wherefore dispute about things you do not know? And God has the knowledge, while you do not know.

Ha, you are the ones who dispute on what you know; why then dispute you touching a matter of which you know not anything? God knows, and you know not.

3:67

مَا كَانَ اِبْرٰهِیْمُ یَهُوْدِیًّا وَّ لَا نَصْرَانِیًّا وَّ لٰكِنْ كَانَ حَنِیْفًا مُّسْلِمًاؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ(۶۷)

Neither was Abraham a Jew nor a Christian, but upright and obedient, and not an idolater.

No; Abraham in truth was not a Jew, neither a Christian; but he was a Muslim and one pure of faith; certainly he was never of the idolaters.

3:68

اِنَّ اَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِاِبْرٰهِیْمَ لَلَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ وَ هٰذَا النَّبِیُّ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ وَلِیُّ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۶۸)

Of all men the nearest to Abraham are those who follow him, and then this Prophet and the faithful; and God is the protector of all believers.

Surely the people standing closest to Abraham are those who followed him, and this Prophet, and those who believe; and God is the Protector of the believers.

3:69

وَدَّتْ طَّآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ لَوْ یُضِلُّوْنَكُمْؕ-وَ مَا یُضِلُّوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ مَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ(۶۹)

Some among the people of the Book wish to lead you astray, yet they lead none astray but themselves, though they do not realise.

There is a party of the People of the Book yearn to make you go astray; yet none they make to stray, except themselves, but they are not aware.

3:70

یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُوْنَ(۷۰)

O people of the Book, why do you disbelieve the signs of God having witnessed them yourselves?

People of the Book! Why do you disbelieve in God's signs, which you yourselves witness?

3:71

یٰۤاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لِمَ تَلْبِسُوْنَ الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَ تَكْتُمُوْنَ الْحَقَّ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۠(۷۱)

O people of the Book, why do you mix the false with the true, and hide the truth knowingly?

People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with vanity, and conceal the truth and that wittingly?

3:72

وَ قَالَتْ طَّآىٕفَةٌ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ اٰمِنُوْا بِالَّذِیْۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَجْهَ النَّهَارِ وَ اكْفُرُوْۤا اٰخِرَهٗ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَۚۖ(۷۲)

A section of the people of the Book say: "Believe in the morning what has been revealed to the faithful, and deny in the evening; they might perhaps turn back;

There is a party of the People of the Book say, 'Believe in what has been sent down upon those who believe at the beginning of the day, and disbelieve at the end of it; haply they will then return;

3:73

وَ لَا تُؤْمِنُوْۤا اِلَّا لِمَنْ تَبِـعَ دِیْنَكُمْؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ الْهُدٰى هُدَى اللّٰهِۙ-اَنْ یُّؤْتٰۤى اَحَدٌ مِّثْلَ مَاۤ اُوْتِیْتُمْ اَوْ یُحَآجُّوْكُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِیَدِ اللّٰهِۚ-یُؤْتِیْهِ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌۚۙ(۷۳)

"And do not believe those who do not belong to your faith." Say: "True guidance is the guidance of God -- that any may be given the like of what has been given you." Will they argue with you before your Lord? Say: "God´s is the bounty. He gives whomsoever He please, for He is infinite and all-wise."

and believe not any but him who follows your religion.' Say: 'The true guidance is God's guidance -- that anyone should be given the like of what you have been given, or dispute with you before your Lord.' Say: 'Surely bounty is in the hand of God; He gives it unto whomsoever He will; and God is All-embracing, All-knowing.

3:74

یَّخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیْمِ(۷۴)

He may choose whom He likes for His favours, for great is His bounty.

He singles out for His mercy whom He will; God is of bounty abounding.'

3:75

وَ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ مَنْ اِنْ تَاْمَنْهُ بِقِنْطَارٍ یُّؤَدِّهٖۤ اِلَیْكَۚ-وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اِنْ تَاْمَنْهُ بِدِیْنَارٍ لَّا یُؤَدِّهٖۤ اِلَیْكَ اِلَّا مَا دُمْتَ عَلَیْهِ قَآىٕمًاؕ-ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْا لَیْسَ عَلَیْنَا فِی الْاُمِّیّٖنَ سَبِیْلٌۚ-وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ وَ هُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۷۵)

There are some among the people of the Book who return a whole treasure entrusted to them; yet some there are who do not give back a dinar until you demand and insist, because they say: "It is not a sin for us to (usurp) the rights of the Arabs." Yet they lie against God, and they know it.

And of the People of the Book is he who, if thou trust him with a hundredweight, will restore it thee; and of them is he who, if thou trust him with one pound, will not restore it thee, unless ever thou standest over him. That, because they say, 'There is no way over us as to the common people.' They speak falsehood against God and that wittingly.

3:76

بَلٰى مَنْ اَوْفٰى بِعَهْدِهٖ وَ اتَّقٰى فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ(۷۶)

But certainly whoever keeps his promise and follows the right path (will be blessed), for God loves those who shun evil and follow the right course.

Nay, but whoso fulfils his covenant and fears God, God loves the godfearing.

3:77

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَشْتَرُوْنَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَیْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ لَا یَنْظُرُ اِلَیْهِمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَ لَا یُزَكِّیْهِمْ۪-وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۷۷)

Those who trade on the promises of God, and who purchase a little gain from their oaths, will have no share in the life to come. God will not address or even regard them on the Day of Resurrection, nor perfect them, and their suffering will be painful.

Those that sell God's covenant, and their oaths, for a little price, there shall be no share for them in the world to come; God shall not speak to them neither look on them on the Resurrection Day, neither will He purify them; and for them awaits a painful chastisement.

3:78

وَ اِنَّ مِنْهُمْ لَفَرِیْقًا یَّلْوٗنَ اَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالْكِتٰبِ لِتَحْسَبُوْهُ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ مَا هُوَ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِۚ-وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ مَا هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِۚ-وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ وَ هُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۷۸)

Among them is a section which distorts in reading the Scripture in a way that though it sounds like the Scripture, in fact it is not; yet they say it is from God, when they know it is not; and they lie about God, and knowingly.

And there is a sect of them twist their tongues with the Book, that you may suppose it part of the Book, yet it is not part of the Book; and they say, 'It is from God,' yet it is not from God, and they speak falsehood against God, and that wittingly.

3:79

مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنْ یُّؤْتِیَهُ اللّٰهُ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْحُكْمَ وَ النُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ یَقُوْلَ لِلنَّاسِ كُوْنُوْا عِبَادًا لِّیْ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَ لٰكِنْ كُوْنُوْا رَبّٰنِیّٖنَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تُعَلِّمُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ وَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَدْرُسُوْنَۙ(۷۹)

It is not for a mortal to whom God reveals the Book and the judgement and the prophethood to say to the people: "Be my votaries instead of God´s," but (to say): "Become learned in divine law, by virtue of teaching and studying the Book."

It belongs not to any mortal that God should give him the Book, the Judgment, the Prophethood, then he should say to men, 'Be you servants to me apart from God.' Rather, 'Be you masters in that you know the Book, and in that you study.'

3:80

وَ لَا یَاْمُرَكُمْ اَنْ تَتَّخِذُوا الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةَ وَ النَّبِیّٖنَ اَرْبَابًاؕ-اَیَاْمُرُكُمْ بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ اِذْ اَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ۠(۸۰)

He will surely not bid you make the angels and the prophets your lords. Would he order you disbelief after you have submitted (and accepted the law of God)?

He would never order you to take the angels and the Prophets as Lords; what, would He order you to disbelieve, after you have surrendered?
