74 He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. Allah is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75 Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about Allah, and they know it.
76 Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety—Allah loves the pious.
3:74-76

14 Have you considered those who befriended a people with whom Allah has become angry? They are not of you, nor of them. And they swear to a lie while they know.
15 Allah has prepared for them a terrible punishment. Evil is what they used to do.
16 They took their oaths as a screen, and prevented others from Allah’s path. They will have a shameful punishment.
17 Neither their possessions nor their children will avail them anything against Allah. These are the inhabitants of the Fire, dwelling therein forever.
18 On the Day when Allah will resurrect them altogether—they will swear to Him, as they swear to you, thinking that they are upon something. Indeed, they themselves are the liars.
19 Satan has taken hold of them, and so has caused them to forget the remembrance of Allah. These are the partisans of Satan. Indeed, it is Satan’s partisans who are the losers.
20 Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger are among the lowliest.
21 Allah has written: “I will certainly prevail, I and My messengers.” Allah is Strong and Mighty.
22 You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their parents, or their children, or their siblings, or their close relatives. These—He has inscribed faith in their hearts, and has supported them with a spirit from Him. And He will admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will dwell forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. These are the partisans of Allah. Indeed, it is Allah’s partisans who are the successful.

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
19 To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. Those near Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they waver.
20 They praise night and day, without ever tiring.
21 Or have they taken to themselves gods from the earth who resurrect?
22 If there were in them gods other than Allah, they would have gone to ruin. So glory be to Allah, Lord of the Throne, beyond what they allege.
23 He will not be questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.
24 Or have they taken, besides Him, other gods? Say, “Bring your proof. This is a message for those with me, and a message of those before me.” But most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away.
25 We never sent a messenger before you without inspiring him that: “There is no god but I, so worship Me.”
26 And they say, “The Most Merciful has taken to himself a son.” Be He glorified; they are but honored servants.
27 They never speak before He has spoken, and they only act on His command.
28 He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves; and they tremble in awe of Him.
29 And whoever of them says, “I am a god besides Him,” We will reward him with Hell. Thus We reward the wrongdoers.
30 Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were one mass, and We tore them apart? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not believe?
31 And We placed on earth stabilizers, lest it sways with them, and We placed therein signposts and passages, that they may be guided.
32 And We made the sky a protected ceiling; yet they turn away from its wonders.
33 It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in an orbit.
34 We did not grant immortality to any human being before you. Should you die, are they then the immortal?
35 Every soul will taste death. We burden you with adversity and prosperity—a test. And to Us you will be returned.
36 When those who disbelieve see you, they treat you only with ridicule: “Is this the one who mentions your gods?” And they reject the mention of the Merciful.
37 The human being was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not seek to rush Me.
38 And they say, “When will this promise come true, if you are truthful?”
39 If those who disbelieve only knew, when they cannot keep the fire off their faces and off their backs, and they will not be helped.
40 In fact, it will come upon them suddenly, and bewilder them. They will not be able to repel it, and they will not be reprieved.
41 Messengers before you were also ridiculed, but those who jeered were surrounded by what they had ridiculed.
42 Say, “Who guards you against the Merciful by night and by day?” But they turn away from the mention of their Lord.
43 Or do they have gods who can defend them against Us? They cannot help themselves, nor will they be protected from Us.
44 We have given these enjoyments, and their ancestors, until time grew long upon them. Do they not see how We gradually reduce the land from its extremities? Are they then the victors?
45 Say, “I am warning you through inspiration.” But the deaf cannot hear the call when they are being warned.
46 And when a breath of your Lord’s punishment touches them, they say, “Woe to us, we were truly wicked.”
47 We will set up the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so that no soul will suffer the least injustice. And even if it be the weight of a mustard-seed, We will bring it up. Sufficient are We as Reckoners.

Allāh has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.

18 O you who believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul consider what it has forwarded for the morrow, and fear Allah. Allah is Aware of what you do.
19 And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. These are the sinners.
20 Not equal are the inhabitants of the Fire and the inhabitants of Paradise. It is the inhabitants of Paradise who are the winners.
21 Had We sent this Quran down on a mountain, you would have seen it trembling, crumbling in awe of Allah. These parables We cite for the people, so that they may reflect.
22 He is Allah. There is no god but He, the Knower of secrets and declarations. He is the Compassionate, the Merciful.
23 He is Allah; besides Whom there is no god; the Sovereign, the Holy, the Peace-Giver, the Faith-Giver, the Overseer, the Almighty, the Omnipotent, the Overwhelming. Glory be to Allah, beyond what they associate.
24 He is Allah; the Creator, the Maker, the Designer. His are the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him. He is the Majestic, the Wise.

Blessed be the One in whose [mighty] Hand is all the dominion.
For He is powerful over all things; the One who created death and life to test you, [and to reveal] which of you is best in deeds.
For He [alone] is the Overpowering [One], the All-Forgiving; the One who created seven heavens [in layers], one above another.
(Qur’an, 67:1-3)

Allah does not task a soul beyond its capacity.
For it [in the Hereafter] is all [the good] that it has earned. And against it whatever [evil] it has reaped. [Thus pray, O you who believe:] Our Lord!
Hold us not accountable if ever we forget or we have erred. Our Lord! Neither lay upon us a burden like that which You have laid upon those before us.
Our Lord! Nor lay upon us that which we do not have the strength to bear. Rather, pardon us. And forgive us. And have mercy upon us. You [alone] are our Patron.
So give us victory over the disbelieving people.

The following is being shared for those who genuinely love God's Word, and thus can see the beauty of the Quran's confirmation of previous Scripture (i.e. the Bible).
Sura 9:36. The number of months in the sight of “I AM” is twelve* (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the Earth; of them, four are sacred: that is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that “I AM” is with those who restrain themselves.
Zechariah 8:19 Thus saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth*, shall be to the House of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the Truth and peace.
The four sacred months (Sura 9:36) the four months of the year (the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th on the Holy Enochian Calendar that God gave us), are the four months during which His Holy F(e)asts are to be held, specifically as described in His Law, in detail, in Leviticus 23. As can be seen from the calendar above, these four months correspond to the 4th (April), 5th (May), 7th (September) and 10th month (October) on the Gregorian calendar, as referenced in Zechariah 8:19 above.
1. Feast of Unleavened Bread: 1-8 April (4th month on Gregorian calendar)
2. Feast of Weeks: 1 April – 20 May (5th month on Gregorian calendar)
3. Trumpets and Day of Atonement: 16 & 25 September, respectively (7th month on Gregorian calendar), and
4. Feast of Tabernacles: 30 September – 7 October (10th month on Gregorian calendar)

Sura 21:30. Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the Earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water (Gen. 1:20) every living thing. Will they not then believe?
Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the WATERS bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith. Say, “Allah’s guidance is the only ˹true˺ guidance.” And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah.
Those We have given the Book follow it as it should be followed. It is they who ˹truly˺ believe in it. As for those who reject it, it is they who are the losers.
O Children of Israel! Remember My favours upon you and how I honoured you above the others.
And guard yourselves against the Day when no soul will be of any help to another. No ransom will be taken, no intercession accepted, and no help will be given.
˹Remember˺ when Abraham was tested by his Lord with ˹certain˺ commandments, which he fulfilled. Allah said, “I will certainly make you into a role model for the people.” Abraham asked, “What about my offspring?” Allah replied, “My covenant is not extended to the wrongdoers.”
And ˹remember˺ when We made the Sacred House a centre and a sanctuary for the people ˹saying˺, “˹You may˺ take the standing-place of Abraham2 as a site of prayer.” And We entrusted Abraham and Ishmael to purify My House for those who circle it, who meditate in it, and who bow and prostrate themselves ˹in prayer˺.
And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said, “My Lord, make this city ˹of Mecca˺ secure and provide fruits to its people—those among them who believe in Allah and the Last Day.” He answered, “As for those who disbelieve, I will let them enjoy themselves for a little while, then I will condemn them to the torment of the Fire. What an evil destination!”
And ˹remember˺ when Abraham raised the foundation of the House with Ishmael, ˹both praying,˺ “Our Lord! Accept ˹this˺ from us. You are indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
Our Lord! Make us both ˹fully˺ submit to You and from our descendants a nation that will submit to You. Show us our rituals, and turn to us in grace. You are truly the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.
Our Lord! Raise from among them a messenger who will recite to them Your revelations, teach them the Book and wisdom, and purify them. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Almighty, All-Wise.”
And who would reject the faith of Abraham except a fool! We certainly chose him in this life, and in the Hereafter he will surely be among the righteous.
When his Lord ordered him, “Submit ˹to My Will˺,” he responded, “I submit to the Lord of all worlds.”
his was the advice of Abraham—as well as Jacob—to his children, ˹saying˺, “Indeed, Allah has chosen for you this faith; so do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission.”
Or did you witness when death came to Jacob? He asked his children, “Who will you worship after my passing?” They replied, “We will ˹continue to˺ worship your God, the God of your forefathers—Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac—the One God. And to Him we ˹all˺ submit.”
That was a community that had already gone before. For them is what they earned and for you is what you have earned. And you will not be accountable for what they have done.
