Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter with Allah is exclusively for you ˹Israelites˺ out of all humanity, then wish for death if what you say is true!”

2:95

And never (will)they wish for iteverbecause(of what) sent aheadﱘﱙtheir handsAnd Allah(is) All-Knowerof the wrongdoers(95)

But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have done.1 And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers.

2:96

You will surely find them clinging to life more eagerly than any other people, even more than polytheists. Each one of them wishes to live a thousand years. But even if they were to live that long, it would not save them from the punishment. And Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.

Whoever is an enemy of Allah, His angels, His messengers, Gabriel, and Michael, then ˹let them know that˺ Allah is certainly the enemy of the disbelievers.

Indeed, We have sent down to you ˹O Prophet˺ clear revelations. ˹But˺ none will deny them except the rebellious.

2:100

And is (it not that) wheneverthey tooka covenantthrew it awaya partyﲫﲬof themNaymost of them(do) notbelieve(100)

Why is it that every time they make a covenant, a group of them casts it aside? In fact, most of them do not believe.

2:101

Now, when a messenger from Allah has come to them—confirming their own Scriptures—some of the People of the Book cast the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know.
