[2:135]
And they say: Be Jews or Christians, then ye
will be rightly guided. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Nay, but (we follow) the
religion of Abraham, the upright, and he was not of the idolaters.
[2:136]
Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that
which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and
Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus
received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no
distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.
[2:137]
And if they believe in the like of that which ye
believe, then are they rightly guided. But if they turn away, then are they in schism, and Allah will suffice thee (for defence) against
them. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
[2:138]
(We take our) colour from Allah, and who is
better than Allah at colouring. We are His worshippers.
[2:139]
Say (unto the People of the Scripture): Dispute
ye with us concerning Allah when He is our Lord and your Lord
? Ours are our works and yours your works. We look to Him alone.
[2:140]
Or say ye that Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac,
and Jacob, and the tribes were Jews or Christians ?
Say: Do ye know best, or doth Allah ? And who is more
unjust than he who hideth a testimony which he hath received from Allah ? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.
[2:141]
Those are a people who have passed away; theirs
is that which they earned and yours that which ye earn. And ye will not be
asked of what they used to do.
