Stories Of The Prophets In The Qur'an 123

not harm you in any way. But if you do judge, judge between them
justly. Allah loves the just. How can they make you their judge when
they have the Torah with them which contains the judgement of Allah?
Then even after that they turn their backs! Such people are certainly
not believers. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 41-43)
The Prophet Muhammad (saas)
and the People of the Book
Agroup of the People of the Book would love to misguide you. They
only misguide themselves but they are not aware of it. People of the
Book! Why do you reject Allah's Signs when you yourselves are there
as witnesses? People of the Book! Why do you mix truth with false-
hood and knowingly conceal the truth? A group of the People of the
Book say, 'At the beginning of the day, you should claim to believe in
what was sent down to those who believe, and then at the end of the
day, you should reject it, so that hopefully they will revert. Do not trust
anyone except for those who follow your religion.' Say, 'Allah's guid-
ance is true guidance. But you think it is impossible for anyone to be
given the same as you were given, or to argue with you before your
Lord.' Say, 'All favour is in Allah's Hand and He gives it to whoever He
wills. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. He picks out for His
mercy whoever He wills. Allah's favour is indeed immense.' (Surah Al
'Imran, 69-74)
The Prophet Muhammad (saas) and Jinns
When the servant of Allah stands calling on Him, they almost
swarm all over him. Say: 'I call only upon my Lord and do not associ-
ate anyone else with Him.' Say: 'I possess no power to do you harm or
to guide you right.' Say: 'No one can protect me from Allah and I will
never find any refuge apart from Him –only in transmitting from
Allah and His Messages. As for him who disobeys Allah and His Mes-
senger, he will have the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever
and ever.' So that when they see what they were promised, they will
know who has less support and smaller numbers. Say: 'I do not know
whether what you are promised is close or whether my Lord will ap-
point a longer time before it.' (Surat al-Jinn, 19-25)
