فَمَن حاجَّكَ فيهِ مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَكَ مِنَ العِلمِ فَقُل تَعالَوا نَدعُ أَبناءَنا وَأَبناءَكُم وَنِساءَنا وَنِساءَكُم وَأَنفُسَنا وَأَنفُسَكُم ثُمَّ نَبتَهِل فَنَجعَل لَعنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الكاذِبينَ

If anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then we can make a prayer and invoke the curse of God upon the liars.”

إِنَّ هـٰذا لَهُوَ القَصَصُ الحَقُّ ۚ وَما مِن إِلـٰهٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ

This is the factual narrative. There is no god but God. And certainly, God is the Mighty, the Wise.

فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَليمٌ بِالمُفسِدينَ

If they turn away, then God is aware of the corrupters.

قُل يا أَهلَ الكِتابِ تَعالَوا إِلىٰ كَلِمَةٍ سَواءٍ بَينَنا وَبَينَكُم أَلّا نَعبُدَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَلا نُشرِكَ بِهِ شَيئًا وَلا يَتَّخِذَ بَعضُنا بَعضًا أَربابًا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقولُوا اشهَدوا بِأَنّا مُسلِمونَ

Say, “O People of the Scripture, let us come to a common word: that we worship none but God, that we associate nothing with Him, and that we don’t take each other as lords besides God.” If they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we are submissive.”

يا أَهلَ الكِتابِ لِمَ تُحاجّونَ في إِبراهيمَ وَما أُنزِلَتِ التَّوراةُ وَالإِنجيلُ إِلّا مِن بَعدِهِ ۚ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel weren’t revealed until after him? Don’t you reason?

ما كانَ إِبراهيمُ يَهودِيًّا وَلا نَصرانِيًّا وَلـٰكِن كانَ حَنيفًا مُسلِمًا وَما كانَ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but a monotheist, a submitter, and he wasn’t of the polytheists.

إِنَّ أَولَى النّاسِ بِإِبراهيمَ لَلَّذينَ اتَّبَعوهُ وَهـٰذَا النَّبِيُّ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ المُؤمِنينَ

Those most deserving of Abraham are those who follow him, this Prophet and those who believe. God is the Ally of the believers.

وَدَّت طائِفَةٌ مِن أَهلِ الكِتابِ لَو يُضِلّونَكُم وَما يُضِلّونَ إِلّا أَنفُسَهُم وَما يَشعُرونَ

Some People of the Scripture wish to mislead you, but they only mislead themselves without realizing it.

يا أَهلَ الكِتابِ لِمَ تَكفُرونَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ وَأَنتُم تَشهَدونَ

O People of the Scripture, why do you deny God’s verses, even while you witness them?

يا أَهلَ الكِتابِ لِمَ تَلبِسونَ الحَقَّ بِالباطِلِ وَتَكتُمونَ الحَقَّ وَأَنتُم تَعلَمونَ

O People of the Scripture, why do you mix truth with falsehood and knowingly conceal the truth?
