5:71 They thought that there would be no consequences, so they became blind and deaf [to the truth]. Then Allah forgave them, but again many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.

5:72 They have certainly disbelieved, those who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary.” But the Messiah said, “O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord[1].” Whoever associates any partners with Allah, Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his abode will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

5:73 They have certainly disbelieved, those who say, “Allah is one of Three[1].” None has the right to be worshiped except One God. If they do not desist from saying this, those who disbelieve from among them will be afflicted with a painful punishment.

5:74 Why do they not turn to Allah in repentance and seek His forgiveness? For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

5:75 The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger. There were messengers who passed away before him, and his mother was a woman of truth; they both ate food[1]. See how We make Our signs clear to them, yet see how they are deluded!

5:76 Say, “Do you worship besides Allah that which can neither harm nor benefit you?! And Allah is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”

5:77 Say, “O People of the Book, do not exceed the limits of the truth in your religion, nor follow the desires of people[1] who went astray before, and misled many and themselves strayed from the straight path.”
