The Holy Quran 46:10 — Surah Al-Ahqaf

Arabic text

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَكَفَرْتُم بِهِۦ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ عَلَىٰ مِثْلِهِۦ فَـَٔامَنَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Translation

Say, "Tell me. What if this Qur'aan is really from Allaah and you people deny (reject) it (without good reason) and are too proud (to accept it) although a witness from the Bani Israa'eel (those learned in the original teachings of the Torah and Injeel, such as Abdullaah bin Salaam رضى الله تعالى عنه) testifies to a similar (divine) book and believes in it (believes that the Qur'aan is from Allaah)? (This would mean that you are behaving irrationally and unjustly, so bear in mind that) Verily Allaah does not guide an unjust (sinful) nation."
