*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Ii.: Baqara, Or The Heifer.

Section 16

130.
Waman yarghabu AAan millati ibraheema illa man safiha nafsahu walaqadi istafaynahu fee aLddunya wa-innahu fee al-akhirati lamina aLssaliheenA

130.
And who turns away

From the religion of Abraham

But such as debase their souls

With folly? Him We chose

And rendered pure in this world:

And he will be in the Hereafter

In the ranks of the Righteous.

131.
Ith qala lahu rabbuhu aslim qala aslamtu lirabbi alAAalameenA

131.
Behold! his Lord said

To him: "Bow (thy will to Me):"

He said: "I bow (my will)

To the Lord and Cherisher

Of the Universe."

132.
Wawassa biha ibraheemu baneehi wayaAAqoobu ya baniyya inna Allaha istafa lakumu aLddeena fala tamootunna illa waantum muslimoonA

132.
And this was the legacy

That Abraham left to his sons,

And so did Jacob;

"Oh my sons! God hath chosen

The Faith for you; then die not

Except in the Faith of Islam."

133.
Am kuntum shuhadaa ith hadara yaAAqooba almawtu ith qala libaneehi ma taAAbudoona min baAAdee qaloo naAAbudu ilahaka wa-ilaha aba-ika ibraheema wa-ismaAAeela wa-ishaqa ilahan wahidan wanahnu lahu muslimoonA

133.
Were ye witnesses

When Death appeared before Jacob?

Behold, he said to his sons:

"What will ye worship after me?"

They said: "We shall worship

Thy God and the God of thy fathers,--

Of Abraham, Ism'l, and Isaac,--

The One (True) God:


To Him we bow (in Islam)."

134.
Tilka ommatun qad khalat laha ma kasabat walakum ma kasabtum wala tus-aloona AAamma kano yaAAmaloonA

134.
That was a People that hath

Passed away. They shall reap

The fruit of what they did,

And ye of what ye do!

Of their merits

There is no question in your case!

135.
Waqaloo koonoo hoodan aw nasara tahtadoo qul bal millata ibraheema haneefan wama kana mina almushrikeenA

135.
They say: "Become Jews

Or Christians if ye would be guided

(To salvation).
" Say thou:

"Nay! (I would rather) the Religion

Of Abraham the True,

And he joined not gods with God."

136.
Qooloo amanna biAllahi wama onzila ilayna wama onzila ila ibraheema wa-ismaAAeela wa-ishaqa wayaAAqooba waAl-asbati wama ootiya moosa waAAeesa wama ootiya aLnnabiyyoona min rabbihim la nufarriqu bayna ahadin minhum wanahnu lahu muslimoonA

136.
Say ye: "We believe

In God, and the revelation

Given to us, and to Abraham,

Ism'l, Isaac, Jacob,

And the Tribes, and that given

To Moses and Jesus, and that given

To (all) Prophets from their Lord:

We make no difference

Between one and another of them:

And we bow to God (in Islam)."

137.
Fa-in amanoo bimithli ma amantum bihi faqadi ihtadaw wa-in tawallaw fa-innama hum fee shiqaqin fasayakfeekahumu Allahu wahuwa aLssameeAAu alAAaleemU

137.
So if they believe

As ye believe, they are indeed

On the right path; but if

They turn back, it is they

Who are in schism; but God will

Suffice thee as against them,

And He is the All-Hearing,

The All-Knowing.

138.
Sibghata Allahi waman ahsanu mina Allahi sibghatan wanahnu lahu AAabidoonA

138. (Our religion is)

The Baptism of God:


And who can baptize better

Than God? And it is He

Whom we worship.

139.
Qul atuhajjoonana fee Allahi wahuwa rabbuna warabbukum walana aAAmaluna walakum aAAmalukum wanahnu lahu mukhlisoonA

139.
Say: Will ye dispute

With us about God, seeing

That He is our Lord

And your Lord; that we

Are responsible for our doings

And ye for yours; and that

We are sincere (in our faith) In him?

140.
Am taqooloona inna ibraheema wa-ismaAAeela wa-ishaqa wayaAAqooba waAl-asbata kanoo hoodan aw nasara qul aantum aAAlamu ami Allahu waman a"th"lamu mimman katama shahadatan AAindahu mina Allahi wama Allahu bighafilin AAamma taAAmaloonA

140.
Or do ye say that

Abraham, Ism'l, Isaac,

Jacob and the Tribes were

Jews or Christians?

Say: Do ye know better

Than God? Ah! who

Is more unjust than those

Who conceal the testimony

They have from God?

But God is not unmindful

Of what ye do!

141.
Tilka ommatun qad khalat laha ma kasabat walakum ma kasabtum wala tus-aloona AAamma kanoo yaAAmaloonA

141.
That was a people that hath

Passed away. They shall reap

The fruit of what they did,

And ye of what ye do!

Of their merits

There is no question in your case:
