يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ آمِنُوا بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوهًا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَىٰ أَدْبَارِهَا أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّا أَصْحَابَ السَّبْتِ ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا (47)
(4:47) O you who have been granted the Book! Do believe in what We have (now) revealed, which confirms the revelation which you already possess. *77 Do this before We alter countenances, turning them backwards, or lay a curse upon them as We cursed the Sabbath-men. *78 Bear in mind that Allah's command is done.
