Al-'Imran (The Family of Imran)
Surah 3 · Verse 75
And from among the owners of the book, there is he who, if you entrust him with a heap of wealth, he will pay it back to you, and from among them there is he who, if you entrust him with a dinar (even a small account), he will not pay it back to you unless you stand over him (demanding it). That is because they say, “There is no way (responsibility) upon us in (connection with) the unlearned people (Arabs),” and they speak a lie against Allah while they know.
“Among the Owners of the book there are good as well as bad people. Those who are bad feel that they have no responsibility of fulfilling agreements made with people other than them, such people will not have any benefit in the hereafter. Allah (SWT) will be indifferent to them and will punish them for their dishonesty. There are some among them who keep the Torah or Injeel before them and say things which are not written in the book, pretending to read so that others should feel that it is written in the book. A messenger of Allah (SWT) will never ask his followers to worship him or consider him or the angels as fosterers but he would ask them to serve and worship Allah (SWT). How can he ask his followers to be infidels after they have accepted Islam ?”
