(Be Honest With All People)
Some followers of the scripture can be trusted with a whole lot, and they will give it back to you. Others among them cannot be trusted with a single dinar; they will not repay you unless you keep after them. That is because they say, “We do not have to be honest when dealing with the gentiles!”* Thus, they attribute lies to God, knowingly.
وَمِن أَهلِ الكِتٰبِ مَن إِن تَأمَنهُ بِقِنطارٍ يُؤَدِّهِ إِلَيكَ وَمِنهُم مَن إِن تَأمَنهُ بِدينارٍ لا يُؤَدِّهِ إِلَيكَ إِلّا ما دُمتَ عَلَيهِ قائِمًا ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم قالوا لَيسَ عَلَينا فِى الأُمِّيّـۧنَ سَبيلٌ وَيَقولونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ وَهُم يَعلَمونَ
wa min Ahlil Kitaabi man in ta’manhu biqintaariny yu’addihee ilaika wa minhum man in ta’manhu bi deenaarin laa yu’addiheee ilaika illaa maa dumta ‘alaihi qaaa’ imaa; zaalika biannahum qaaloo laisa ‘alainaa fil ummiyyeena sabeelunw wa yaqooloona ‘alal laahil kaziba wa hum ya’lamoon
*3:75 Prior to the discovery of the Quran’s mathematical code, some scholars falsely claimed that Muhammad was an illiterate man who could not write such a great book. They distorted the meaning of the word “Ummy,” claiming that it meant “illiterate.” This verse proves that “Ummiyyeen” means “gentiles” (See also 62:2 & Appendix 28).
