(4:47) O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the decree of Allah accomplished. (4:48) Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin. (4:49) Have you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather, Allah purifies whom He wills, and injustice is not done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed]. (4:50) Look how they invent about Allah untruth, and sufficient is that as a manifest sin. (4:51) Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, who believe in superstition and false objects of worship and say about the disbelievers, "These are better guided than the believers as to the way"? (4:52) Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed; and he whom Allah curses - never will you find for him a helper. (4:53) Or have they a share of dominion? Then [if that were so], they would not give the people [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.
