2:94 Say, “If the Home of the Hereafter with Allah is only for you [O Israelites] among all humans, then wish for death, if you are truthful.”

2:95 But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have sent forth. And Allah is All-Knowing of the wrongdoers.

2:96 And you will surely find them the most greedy people for life, even more than the polytheists. Each one of them wishes to have a life of a thousand years. Even if they were granted such a long life, it would not save them from the punishment; for Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.

2:97 Say [O Prophet], “Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel – it is he who brings down this [Qur’an] to your heart by Allah’s permission, confirming what came before it, and a guidance and glad tidings for the believers.”

2:98 Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, and to Gabriel and Michael – then Allah is indeed an enemy to the disbelievers.

2:99 We have sent down to you clear proofs, and none will reject them except the evildoers.

2:100 Is it that every time they ratify a covenant, a party of them cast it aside? In fact, most of them do not believe.

2:101 And when a messenger[1] from Allah came to them – confirming what was with them, a party of the People of the Book cast Allah’s Scripture behind their backs as if they did not know.
