The Holy Quran 3:112 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوٓا۟ إِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَحَبْلٍ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ

Translation

Disgrace (humiliation) has been struck on them (on the Jews) wherever they may be found except (that the disgrace may be temporarily relieved) by a rope (treaty) from Allaah and a rope from people (they will therefore be left in peace when they enter into a treaty with the Muslims). They return with (they deserve) the wrath of Allaah and homelessness has been struck on them. This (disgrace and homelessness) is because they used to reject the Aayaat of Allaah and wrongfully murder the Ambiyaa. This is because they were disobedient (to Allaah) and used to overstep the limits (that Allaah set).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

These verses appear to concern, among the People of the Book, the Jews in particular, as is evident from the context of the passage and from other verses of the Quran: that is, the seal of humiliation has been set upon the Jews for ever. Wherever these wretches are found, the mark of humiliation cannot be erased from them.
