The Ranks, Battle Array — Linda Ilham Barto Translation

وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ یَـٰقَوۡمِ لِمَ تُؤۡذُونَنِی وَقَد تَّعۡلَمُونَ أَنِّی رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَیۡكُمۡۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوۤا۟ أَزَاغَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا یَهۡدِی ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَـٰسِقِینَ ۝٥

Remember that Moses said to his people, “O my people, why do you persecute me even though you know that I am the messenger of Allah for you?” When they strayed, Allah allowed their hearts to stray because Allah does not guide rebellious sinners.

Remember that Jesus the son of Mary said, “O Children of Israel, I am truly the messenger of Allah for you. [I am] confirming the Torah previously given and bearing the good news of a messenger to come after me. His name will be Ahmed [‘the praised one’].” But when he came to them with evidence [miracles], they said, “This is obviously magic.”

Who does greater wrong than someone who invents a lie against Allah even as he/she is being invited to Islam? Allah does not guide those who do wrong.

O Believers, be helpers for Allah in the manner that Jesus son of Mary invited his disciples, “Who will be my helpers for Allah?” The disciples said, “We are Allah’s helpers.” Some of the Children of Israel believed, and some disbelieved. We empowered the believers against their enemies, and they prevailed.
