The Jews and Christians each say, “Follow our faith to be ˹rightly˺ guided.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “No! We follow the faith of Abraham, the upright—who was not a polytheist.”

ﱓSayﱔWe have believedﱕin Allahﱖand whatﱗ(is) revealedﱘto usﱙand whatﱚwas revealedﱛtoﱜIbrahimﱝand Ishmaelﱞand Isaacﱟand Yaqubﱠand the descendantsﱡand whatﱢwas givenﱣ(to) Musaﱤand Isaﱥand whatﱦwas givenﱧ(to) the Prophetsﱨfromﱩtheir LordﱪNotﱫwe make distinctionﱬbetweenﱭanyﱮof themﱯAnd weﱰto Himﱱ(are) submissiveﱲ
Say, ˹O believers,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.”

ﱳSo ifﱴthey believe[d]ﱵin (the) likeﱶ(of) whatﱷyou have believedﱸin [it]ﱹthen indeedﱺﱻthey are (rightly) guidedﱼBut ifﱽthey turn awayﱾthen onlyﱿtheyﲀ(are) inﲁﲂdissensionﲃSo will suffice you against themﲄﲅAllahﲆand Heﲇ(is) the All-Hearingﲈthe All-Knowingﲉ
So if they believe in what you believe, then they will indeed be ˹rightly˺ guided. But if they turn away, they are simply opposed ˹to the truth˺. But Allah will spare you their evil. For He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

This is the ˹natural˺ Way of Allah. And who is better than Allah in ordaining a way? And we worship ˹none but˺ Him.

Say, “Would you dispute with us about Allah, while He is our Lord and your Lord? We are accountable for our deeds and you for yours. And we are devoted to Him ˹alone˺.

Do you claim that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants were all Jews or Christians?” Say, “Who is more knowledgeable: you or Allah?” Who does more wrong than those who hide the testimony they received from Allah? And Allah is never unaware of what you do.

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.
