Juz 1 · Page 17

وَقَالُوا۟ لَن يَدْخُلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَن كَانَ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَٰرَىٰ ۗ تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ ۗ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

How to read it

Wa qālū lan yad'khula l-jannata 'illā man kāna hūdan 'aw' naṣārā . til'ka 'amāniyyuhum' . qul' hātū bur'hānakum' 'in kuntum' ṣādiqīna

And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."

Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
