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.

ﲓ ﲔAnd whenﲕtriedﲖIbrahimﲗhis Lordﲘwith wordsﲙﲚand he fulfilled themﲛHe saidﲜIndeed Iﲝ(am) the One to make youﲞfor the mankindﲟﲠa leaderﲡHe saidﲢAnd fromﲣﲤmy offspringﲥHe saidﲦ(Does) notﲧreachﲨMy Covenantﲩ(to) the wrongdoersﲪ
˹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.”

ﲫAnd whenﲬWe madeﲭthe Houseﲮa place of returnﲯfor mankindﲰand (a place of) securityﲱand (said), "Takeﲲ[from]ﲳ(the) standing placeﲴ(of) Ibrahimﲵﲶ(as) a place of prayerﲷAnd We made a covenantﲸwithﲹIbrahimﲺand Ishmaelﲻ[that]ﲼ[You both] purifyﲽMy Houseﲾfor those who circumambulateﲿand those who seclude themselves for devotion and prayerﳀand those who bow downﳁand those who prostrateﳂ
And ˹remember˺ when We made the Sacred House a centre and a sanctuary for the people ˹saying˺, “˹You may˺ take the standing-place of Abraham 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!”
