Translation of the verse 47 from Surah An-Nisa’ : Number of verses 176 - - page 86 - Part 5.
O you who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad SAW) confirming what is (already) with you, before We efface faces (by making them like the back of necks; without nose, mouth, eyes, etc.) and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. And the Commandment of Allah is always executed.
O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the decree of Allah accomplished.
(4:47) O you who have been granted the Book! Do believe in what We have (now) revealed, which confirms the revelation which you already possess. *77 Do this before We alter countenances, turning them backwards, or lay a curse upon them as We cursed the Sabbath-men. *78 Bear in mind that Allah's command is done.
