وَإِذَا قِیلَ لَهُمْ ءَامِنُوا بِمَآ أَنزَلَ اللهُ قَالُواْ نُؤْمِنُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَیْنَا وَیَکْفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقاً لِمَّا مَعَهُمْ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنبِیَآءَ اللهِ مِن قَبْلُ إِن کُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِینَ(( 91 ))

91- AND WHEN IT IS SAID TO THEM BELIEVE IN WHAT ALLAH HAS SENT DOWN; THEY SAY WE BELIEVE ONLY IN THAT WHICH WAS SENT TO US; AND THEY REJECT WHAT IS BESIDES THAT, WHILE IT IS THE TRUTH; AND CORROBORATING THAT WHICH IS WITH THEM.

SAY: ``WHY DID YOU THEN SLAY THE PROPHETS OF ALLAH, IN TIMES GONE BY IF YOU WERE BELIEVERS?''

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَکُمْ مُّوسَى بِالْبَیِّنَتِ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمْ الْعِجْلَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَنْتُمْ ظَلِمُونَ(( 92 ))

92- AND THERE CAME TO YOU MOSES WITH CLEAR SIGNS (EVIDENCES), THEN YOU TOOK THE CALF (FOR A GOD) IN HIS ABSENCE, AND YOU WERE OPPRESSORS.

وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِیثَقَکُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَکُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُواْ مَآءَ اتَیْنَکُم بِقُوَّة وَاسْمَعُواْ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَیْنَا وَأُشْرِبُواْ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِکُفْرِهِمْ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا یَأْمُرُکُم بِهِ إِیمَنُکُمْ إِن کُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِینَ(( 93 ))

93- AND WHEN WE MADE A COVENANT WITH YOU, AND WE RAISED ABOVE YOU THE MOUNT SINAI, SAYING: ``HOLD FIRMLY WHAT WE HAVE GIVEN YOU AND HEAR. (OUR COMMANDMENTS) THEY SAID: WE HEARD AND WE DISOBEYED, FOR THEIR BLASPHEMY THEY DRANK THE CALF INTO THEIR VERY HEARTS! (i.e. THEY LOVED THE CALF WITH ALL THEIR HEART)

SAY: ``BAD IS THAT TO WHICH YOUR FAITH ORDERS YOU, IF YOU ARE INDEED BELIEVERS.''
