An-Nisa' · Ayah 159 · Juz 6 · Page 103

وَإِن مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِلَّا لَيُؤۡمِنَنَّ بِهِۦ قَبۡلَ مَوۡتِهِۦۖ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ شَهِيدٗا ١٥٩

Wa im min ahlil-kitābi illā layuʾminanna bihī qabla mawtih, wa yawmal-qiyāmati yakūnu ʿalayhim shahīdā.

And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely believe in him [i.e., Jesus] before his death.1 And on the Day of Resurrection he will be against them a witness.

Translation: Sahih International

Footnotes (1)
  1. One interpretation is that "his death" refers to that of Jesus after his return to earth. Or it can mean "the death of every individual from among the People of the Scripture."
