Section 10

[A/I`mran 3:92] You can never attain virtue until you spend in Allah's cause the things you love; and Allah is Aware of whatever you spend.

[A/I`mran 3:93] All food was lawful for the Descendants of Israel (Jacob), except what Israel forbade for himself, before the Taurat (Torah) was sent down; say, “Bring the Taurat and read it, if you are truthful.”

[A/I`mran 3:94] So henceforth whoever fabricates lies against Allah - it is they who are the unjust.

[A/I`mran 3:95] Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), “Allah is truthful; so follow the religion of Ibrahim, who was free from all falsehood; and he was not of the polytheists.”

[A/I`mran 3:96] Indeed the first house that was appointed as a place of worship for mankind, is the one at Makkah (the Holy Ka’aba), blessed and a guidance to the whole world;

[A/I`mran 3:97] In it are clear signs - the place where Ibrahim stood (is one of them); and whoever enters it shall be safe; and performing the Hajj (pilgrimage) of this house, for the sake of Allah, is a duty upon mankind, for those who can reach it; and whoever disbelieves - then Allah is Independent (Unwanting) of the entire creation!

[A/I`mran 3:98] Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), “O People given the Book(s)! Why do you not believe in the verses (or signs) of Allah, whereas your deeds are being witnessed by Allah?”

[A/I`mran 3:99] Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him), “O People given the Book(s)! Why do you prevent those who have accepted faith from the way of Allah, seeking to cause deviation in it, whereas you yourselves are witnesses to it? And Allah is not unaware of your deeds!”

[A/I`mran 3:100] O People who Believe! If you obey some of People given the Book(s), they will definitely turn you into disbelievers after your having accepted faith.
