They Say, "Be Jews or Christians, [or Sunni Muslims or Qur'anists]," so Say, "Rather, we Follow the Religion of Abraham, and we are in Submission to God"

So do Not be Among those who have Divided into Sects and Divided the Religion into Separate Scriptures, for God Sent Down the Qur'an, and the Torah and the Gospel Before, for Indeed, This Religion is One Religion

42:13, Qur'an
[God] has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. [But] that which you invite them to is difficult for those who associate others [with God]. God chooses for Himself whomever He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him].

30:31 - 32, Qur'an
[So] turn to Him, and fear Him and establish prayer, and do not be among those who associate others [with God] - among those who have divided their religion and become sects, every faction rejoicing in what [Book] it has -

2:91, Qur'an
[For] when it is said to them, "Believe in what God has sent down," they say, "We believe [only] in what [Book] was sent down to us."

3:3 - 4, Qur'an
[But indeed, God] has sent the [Qur'an] down to you in truth, confirming what was before it.  And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel before, as guidance for the people. And He sent down the Criterion. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of God will have a severe punishment, and God is Almighty, the Owner of Retribution.

4:136, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, believe in God and His messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down before.  And whoever disbelieves in God, His Books, His messengers, His angels, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray -

2:113, Qur'an
[Such as] the Jews, [who] say, "The Christians [have] nothing [true]," and the Christians, [who] say, "The Jews [have] nothing [true]," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus those who do not know [including the Sunni, Shia, and Qur'anist Muslims] speak the same as their words [and say, "The Jews and the Christians have nothing true."] But God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning those [matters] in which they used to differ.

4:162 - 163, Qur'an
But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what [Book] has been sent down to you [O Muhammad], and what [Scripture] was sent down before you. And the establishers of prayer [especially] and the givers of charity and the believers in God and the Last Day - We will give those a great reward.  Indeed, We have revealed to you, as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him.  And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the [twelve] tribes [of Israel], Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and We gave the Scripture [Psalms] to David.

23:52 - 53, Qur'an
"[So] indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."  But the people divided their affair amongst themselves into [separate] Scriptures - each faction rejoicing [only] in what [Book] it has -

2:135 - 137, Qur'an
[For] they say, "Be Jews or Christians [or Sunni or Shia or Qur'anist Muslims so] you will be guided."  [So] say, "Rather, [we follow] the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth, and he was not among the polytheists."  [And] say, "We have believed in God and what has been sent down to us and what has been sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the [twelve] tribes [of Israel] and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to [all] the prophets from their Lord. We make no division between any of them, and we are in submission to Him."  So if they believe in the same as you believe in, then they have been [rightly] guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension, and God will be sufficient for you against them.  And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Sections of Religion

This, your Religion, is One Religion - for We Gave Jesus the Gospel, Confirming that which was in his Hands of the Torah

Then God Sent Down the Qur'an, Confirming what was Before it - so Believe in the Qur'an and the Scripture which He Sent down Before

2:4 - 5, Qur'an
[Those] who believe in what [Book] has been sent down to you [O Muhammad], and what [Scripture] was sent down before you, and they are certain of the Hereafter - those are upon guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful -

45:16, Qur'an
[For] We certainly gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and judgement and prophethood, and We provided them with good things and preferred them over the worlds.

6:154, Qur'an
[And] We gave Moses the Scripture, making [Our favor] complete upon the one who did good and as a detailed explanation of all things and as guidance and mercy so that perhaps they would believe in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord.

5:46, Qur'an
[Then] We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, following in their footsteps, confirming that which was in his hands of the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which was in his hands of the Torah as guidance and instruction for those who fear [God].

35:31, Qur'an
And that which We have revealed to you of the Book is the truth, confirming what [Scripture] was before it. Indeed, God is Aware and Seeing of His servants.

10:37, Qur'an
And it was not [possible] for this Qur'an to be produced by [anything] other than God, but [it is] a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of the [former] Scripture from the Lord of the worlds, about which there is no doubt.

34:31, Qur'an
[But] those who disbelieve say, "We will never believe in this Qur'an nor in that [Scripture] before it." But if you could see when the wrongdoers are made to stand before their Lord, refuting each other's words - those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, "If not for you, we would have been believers."

40:70, Qur'an
[And thus,] those who deny the Book and that [Scripture] which We sent Our messengers with - soon they are going to know -

3:3, Qur'an
[That indeed, God] has sent the [Qur'an] down to you in truth, confirming what [Scripture] was before it.  And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel,

4:136, Qur'an
[So] O you who have believed, believe in God and His messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in God, His angels, His Books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray -

21:92 - 93, Qur'an
[For] indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so serve Me. And [yet] they divided their affair among themselves, [but] all will return to Us.

Say, "We Make No Division Between Any of His Messengers, and we Believe in what was Sent Down to All the Prophets"

But those who Say, "We Believe in Some and Disbelieve in Others," those are the Disbelievers who will have a Humiliating Punishment

4:152, Qur'an
Those who believe in God and His messengers and make no division between any of them - He will soon give their rewards to them.  And God is Forgiving and Merciful.

4:150, Qur'an
[But] indeed, those who disbelieve in God and His messengers and wish to make a division between God and His messengers and say, "We believe in some and disbelieve in others," and wish to take a way in between -

John 9:29, Gospel
[Such as the Pharisees, who said,] "We know that God spoke to Moses, [but as for] this [Jesus], we do not know from where he is." -

4:151, Qur'an
Those are the disbelievers, truly.  And We have prepared a humiliating punishment for the disbelievers -

2:87, Qur'an
[For] We certainly gave Moses the Scripture and followed up with messengers after him. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Holy Spirit. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And you denied a group and you killed another group.

35:25, Qur'an
And [so] if they deny you [O Muhammad] - then those before them have already denied.  Their messengers came to them with clear proofs and written ordinances and with the enlightening Scripture.

5:59, Qur'an
[So] say, "O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in God and what was sent down to us and what was sent down before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?"

13:43, Qur'an
[For] those who have disbelieved say, "You, [O Muhammad], are not a messenger." [So] say, "God is sufficient as Witness between me and you, and whoever has knowledge of the Scripture" -

4:163, Qur'an
[For] indeed, We have revealed to you [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the [twelve] tribes [of Israel], Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and We gave the Scripture [Psalms] to David.

3:84, Qur'an
[So] say, "We have believed in God and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the [twelve] tribes [of Israel], and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to [all] the prophets from their Lord. We make no division between any of them, and we are submitting to Him."

2:285, Qur'an
[And] the messenger has [also] believed in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in God and His angels and His Books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no division between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and the [final] destination is to You."

The Religion Near to God is Submission to God [l-is'lāmu], for He has Submitted All Things under His Feet, so Willingly Submit yourselves to God

For it is the Religion of your Father, Abraham - God Named you "in Submission to God" [l-mus'limīna] Before in the Former Scriptures, Even Jesus Submitted to God

Psalms 81:15, Torah
The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves to Him,

Romans 10:3, Gospel
[But] they, being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

James 4:7, Gospel
Submit yourselves therefore to God.

1 Corinthians 15:27, Gospel
For He has submitted all things under His feet.  But when He says all things are submitted under [Him, it is] clear that He is excepted, who submitted all things under Him.

3:83, Qur'an
So is it [a religion] other than the religion of God they desire, while [all] those within the heavens and earth have submitted to Him, willingly or by compulsion, and they will be returned to Him?

22:78, Qur'an
[So] strive for God with the true striving [due] to Him.  He has chosen you and has not placed any difficulty upon you in the religion.  [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham.  [God] named you "in submission [to God]" [l-mus'limīna] before [in former Scriptures] and in this [revelation] so that the messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people.  So establish prayer and give purifying [alms] and hold firmly to God.  He is your Protector; and the protector is excellent, and the helper is excellent.

31:22 - 24, Qur'an
[So] whoever submits his face to God while he is a doer of good - then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold. And the outcome of [all] matters will be to God.  And whoever has disbelieved - do not let his disbelief grieve you. Their return is to Us, and We will inform them of what they did. Indeed, God is Knowing of that within the hearts.  We grant them enjoyment for a little; then We will force them to a severe punishment.

Psalms 66:3, Torah
[So] say to God, "How terrible [are You in] Your works!  Your enemies will submit themselves to You through the greatness of Your power."

2 Chronicles 30:8, Torah
[So] now do not be stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] submit yourselves to the Lord, and enter into His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, so that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

39:54, Qur'an
[So] return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped -

3:84 - 85, Qur'an
[So] say, "We have believed in God and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the [twelve] tribes [of Israel], and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no division between any of them, and we are submitting to Him."  And whoever seeks a religion other than submission [to God] - it will never be accepted from him, and he will be among the ones in loss in the Hereafter -

3:19, Qur'an
[For] indeed, the religion near to God is submission [to God] [l-is'lāmu]. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves.  And whoever disbelieves in the verses of God, then indeed, God is swift in [taking] account.

O People of the Scripture, you are Standing on Nothing Until you Uphold what has been Sent Down to you - so Let them Judge by what God has Sent Down Therein in the Torah and the Gospel

And Thus, Among the People of the Scripture are those who Believe in God and what was Sent Down to Muhammad, and what was Sent Down to them

5:65 - 66, Qur'an
If only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared [God], We would have surely removed their misdeeds from them and admitted them to Gardens of Pleasure. And if only they upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been sent down to them from their Lord, they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet.  There is a moderate community among them, but what many of them do is evil -

62:5, Qur'an
[For] the example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not uphold it is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books].  It is a wretched example concerning the people who deny the verses of God.  And God does not guide the wrongdoing people -

5:42 - 44, Qur'an
[For they are avid] listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful.  So if they come to you, judge between them or turn away from them.  And if you turn away from them - they will never harm you at all.  And if you judge, judge between them with justice.  Indeed, God loves those who act justly.  But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of God?  Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not believers.  [For] indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light.  The prophets who submitted [to God] judged by [the Torah] for the Jews, as the rabbis and scholars [judged] by that which they were entrusted of the Scripture of God, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And whoever does not judge by what God has sent down - then it is those who are the disbelievers.

5:45, Qur'an
And We prescribed for them therein - a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth [as legal retribution], and legal retribution for wounds.  But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him.  And whoever does not judge by what God has sent down - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

5:46 - 47, Qur'an
And We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, following in their footsteps, confirming that which was in his hands of the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which was in his hands of the Torah as guidance and instruction for those who fear [God]. [So] let the People of the Gospel judge by what God has sent down therein.  And whoever does not judge by what God has sent down - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.

5:68, Qur'an
[So] say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been sent down to you from your Lord."  And that which has been sent down to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief.  So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.

3:113 - 115, Qur'an
[But] they are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of God during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].  They believe in God and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous. And whatever good they do - they will never be denied it.  And God is Knowing of those who fear [Him].

7:170, Qur'an
[And] those who hold fast to the Scripture and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow the reward of the reformers to be lost.

3:199, Qur'an
And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in God and what was sent down to you [O Muhammad] and what was sent down to them, [being] humble to God.  They do not exchange the verses of God for a small price.  Those will have their reward with their Lord.  Indeed, God is swift in account.

Those who were Jews or Christians, who Believed and Submitted to God and did Righteousness, will have their Reward with their Lord

And they will Say, "Praise to God, who has Fulfilled His Promise and Made us Meek Inherit the Earth so that we may Settle in the Garden"

2:111 - 112, Qur'an
They say, "None will enter the Garden except one who is a Jew or a Christian."  That is [merely] their wishful thinking, say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."  Yes, [those among them who submitted to God will enter the Garden, for] whoever submits his face to God while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord.  And there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve -

5:9, Qur'an
[For] God has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds [that] there is forgiveness and great reward for them.

5:69, Qur'an
[So] indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in God and the Last Day and did righteousness - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve -

5:12, Qur'an
[For] God had already taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and We raised twelve leaders from among them.  And God said, "I am with you.  If you establish prayer and give charity and believe in My messengers and honor them and loan God a good loan, I will surely remove your misdeeds from you and admit you to Gardens in which rivers flow beneath them.  But whoever among you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the even path -

3:56, Qur'an
[Whereby,] for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."

10:63 - 64, Qur'an
[But] those who believed and were fearing [God] - there is good news for them in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. There is no change in the words of God. That is what is the great success.

2:62, Qur'an
[So] indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans - those [among them] who believed in God and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve -

41:30, Qur'an
[For] indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is God" and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good news of the Garden, which you were promised" -

*Psalms 37:11, Torah
[When God said,] "The meek will inherit the earth; and will delight themselves in the abundance of peace."

*Matthew 5:5, Gospel
[And thus] blessed [are] the meek, for they will inherit the earth -

*39:74, Qur'an
[And] they will say, "Praise to God, who has fulfilled His promise for us and made us [meek] inherit the earth [so that] we may settle in the Garden wherever we will."  And the reward of [righteous] workers is excellent -

[Book of Enoch 5:7], Torah
[Because] for the chosen; there will be light, joy, and peace, and they will inherit the earth.  But for you, the impious, there will be a curse.

The People of the Scripture Concealed Much of what God had Sent Down of the Scripture [and Labeled them "Apocrypha," which Means "Hidden Away" or Concealed Scriptures/Verses Completely]

So Our Messenger has Come Making Clear Much of what the People of the Scripture used to Conceal of the Scripture

3:71, Qur'an
O People of the Scripture, why do you mix the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?

6:91, Qur'an
…[For] you make [the Scripture] into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much...

2 Chronicles 9:29, Torah
[For] the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, [are] they not written in the Book of Nathan the prophet, and in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?

1 Kings 11:41, Torah
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, [are] they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?

Joshua 10:13, Torah
And [remember when] the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] this not written in the Book of Jasher?

3:187, Qur'an
[No?  And yet] God took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it -

Revelation 22:19, Gospel
[Whereby] if any man will take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life,"

3:187, Qur'an
But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And that which they purchased is [indeed] wretched -

{1 Nephi 13:26}, Torah
[For] they have taken away many parts which are plain and most precious from the Gospel;

{1 Nephi 13:27}, Torah
And they have done all this so that they might pervert the right ways of the Lord, so that they might blind the eyes and harden the hearts of the children of men.

{1 Nephi 13:28}, Torah
[For] there are many plain and precious things taken away from the Book, which is the Book [of God].

2:159 - 160, Qur'an
[But] indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by God and cursed by those who curse, except for those who repent and correct themselves and make clear [what they concealed]. Those - I will accept their repentance, and I am the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.

5:15, Qur'an
[So] O People of the Scripture, Our messenger has come to you making clear much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture, and he pardons much.  A light and a clear Book have come to you from God.

2:41 - 42, Qur'an
[So] believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and do not be the first to disbelieve in it.  And do not exchange My verses for a small price, and fear [only] Me.  And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].

God did Not Send Any Messenger Except that Satan Threw Falsehood into His Verses, and they Say, "This is from God," but it is Not from God

So Woe to you who Alter the Words of Truth and Distort the Law, for they have Exchanged the Verses of God for a Small Price and Corrupted Every Prophecy

9:9, Qur'an
They have exchanged the verses of God for a small price and averted [people] from His way. Indeed, what they were doing was evil.

Jeremiah 23:31 - 32, Torah
[And thus God said,] "Behold, I [am] against the 'prophets,' who use their tongues and say, 'He says.'  Behold, I [am] against those who prophesy false dreams, and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I did not send them, nor command them, therefore they will not profit this people at all," the Lord says.

Ezekiel 13:6 - 7, Torah
[Rather,] they have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, "The Lord says," and the Lord has not sent them, and they have made [others] hope that they would confirm the word.  Have you not seen a vain vision, and have you not spoken a lying divination, whereas you say, "The Lord says [it];" although I have not spoken?

3:78, Qur'an
[So] indeed, there is a group among them who alters the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from God," but it is not from God. And they speak a lie about God while they know.

[Book of Enoch 98:15], Torah
[So] woe to you who write lying words, and the words of the impious, for they write their lies so that men may hear and continue their folly.  And they will not have peace but will die a sudden death.

[Book of Enoch 99:2], Torah
[And] woe to you who alter the words of truth, and they distort the eternal law and count themselves as being without sin; they will be trampled underfoot on the ground.

2:79, Qur'an
So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from God," in order to exchange it for a small price.  Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn -

[Gospel of Barnabas 189:3], Gospel
[For] they have corrupted every prophecy, insomuch that today a thing is not sought because God has commanded it, but men look whether the doctors say it, and the Pharisees observe it, as though God were in error, and men could not err.

6:116, Qur'an
[But] if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of God.  They do not follow [anything] except assumption, and they do nothing except falsify -

22:52 - 54, Qur'an
[For] We did not send any messenger or prophet before you except that when Satan desired, he threw in his [own] desire [into His verses]. But God abrogates that [falsehood] which Satan throws in [His verses]; then God makes His verses precise. And God is Knowing and Wise. [That is] so He may make what [falsehood] Satan throws in a trial for those who have disease in their hearts and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension. And so those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord and [therefore] believe in it, and their hearts become humble to it. And indeed, God is the Guide of those who have believed to a straight path.

God Sent Down the Qur'an in Truth as a Criterion Over the Scripture, so Judge Between them by what God has Sent Down

For God Eliminates what He Wills or He Confirms, so Race to All that is Good and Follow the Best of it and do Not Follow their Inclinations

4:105, Qur'an
Indeed, We have sent the [Qur'an] down to you in truth so that you may judge between the people by that which God has shown you. And do not be an advocate for the deceitful -

16:101, Qur'an
[For] when We substitute a verse [in the Qur'an] in place of a verse [in the previous Scriptures] - and God is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You are only an inventor [of lies]."  But most of them do not know -

13:39, Qur'an
[For] God eliminates what [verses] He wills [in the previous Scriptures], or He confirms [the previous Scriptures], and the Mother of the Scripture is with Him.

5:49, Qur'an
[So] judge between them by what God has sent down [in the Qur'an] and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, unless they should tempt you away from some of what God has sent down to you. And if they turn away - then know that God only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient -

34:43, Qur'an
[For] when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, they say, "This is nothing but a man who wishes to avert you from that which your fathers were serving." And they say, "This is nothing but an invented lie."

39:18, Qur'an
[But those] who listen to the Word [of God] and follow the best of it - those are the ones God has guided, and those are people of understanding -

3:3 - 4, Qur'an
[For God] has sent the [Qur'an] down to you in truth, confirming what was before it.  And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel before, as guidance for the people. And He sent down the Criterion.

25:1, Qur'an
[Thus,] He is blessed who sent the Criterion down upon His servant so that he may be a warner to the worlds.

5:19, Qur'an
[So] O People of the Scripture, Our messenger has come to you to make [the religion] clear to you after a period [of suspension] of messengers, unless you should say, "No bringer of good news or a warner came to us." But a bringer of good news and a warner has come to you. And God is Powerful over all things -

5:48, Qur'an
[For] We have sent the [Qur'an] down to you in truth, confirming that which is between one's hands of the Scripture and as a Criterion over it. So judge between them by what God has sent down and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We made a law and a method. Had God willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. Your return is to God all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning those [matters] in which you used to differ.

39:55, Qur'an
[So] follow the best of what was sent down to you from your Lord before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive.

Abraham was Neither a Jew Nor a Christian, but One Submitting to God, so Follow the Religion of Abraham

And Say to the People of the Scripture, "We Believe in that which has been Sent Down to us and that which was Sent Down to you, and our God and your God is One"

2:135, Qur'an
They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you will be guided."  [So] say, "Rather, [we follow] the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth, and he was not among the polytheists."

2:140, Qur'an
Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the [twelve] tribes [of Israel] were Jews or Christians?  Say, "Are you more knowing or is God?"  And who is more unjust than one who conceals a testimony he has from God?  And God is not unaware of what you do -

3:66 - 67, Qur'an
[For] here you are - those who have argued about that which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that which you have no knowledge? And God knows, while you do not know.  Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, submitting [to God].  And he was not among the polytheists.

16:123, Qur'an
Then We revealed to you to follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not among those who associate others [with God].

2:130 - 131, Qur'an
And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who fooled himself?  And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed, he will be among the righteous in the Hereafter. [For] when his Lord said to him, "Submit", he said, "I have submitted to the Lord of the worlds."

2:132, Qur'an
And Abraham instructed his sons and Jacob, "O my sons, indeed God has chosen this religion for you, so do not die except while you are in submission to God -

[Book of Jubilees 20:9 - 11], Torah
[And so] I implore you, my sons, love the God of heaven, and cleave to all His commandments. And do not walk after their idols, and after their uncleannesses, and do not make molten or graven gods for yourselves; for they are vanity, and there is no spirit in them; for they are work of [men's] hands, and all who trust in them, trust in nothing. Do not serve them, nor prostrate to them, but prostrate to the Most High God, and serve Him continually; and always hope for His Countenance."

Genesis 18:19, Torah
[And so remember that God said,] "I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they will keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgement; so that the Lord may bring those [promises] upon Abraham which He has spoken of him."

3:95, Qur'an
[So] say, "God has told the truth.  So follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not among the polytheists."

2:136 - 137, Qur'an
[So] say, "We have believed in God and what has been sent down to us and what has been sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the [twelve] tribes [of Israel] and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord.  We make no division between any of them, and we are in submission to Him."  So if they believe in the same as you believe in, then they have been [rightly] guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension, and God will be sufficient for you against them.  And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

42:15, Qur'an
So invite to that [religion of God], and remain on a right course as you are commanded and do not follow their inclinations but say, "I have believed in what God has sent down of the Scripture, and I have been commanded to do justice among you.  God is our Lord and your Lord.  Our deeds are for us, and your deeds are for you.  There is no [need for] argument between us and you.  God will bring us together, and the [final] destination is to Him."

29:46, Qur'an
[So] do not argue with the People of the Scripture except by what is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been sent down to us and [that which was] sent down to you.  And our God and your God is one; and we are in submission to Him."

God Took Abraham as a Friend, for Abraham Believed God and He Counted it to him for Righteousness

And This is the Path of your Lord Leading Straight - the Way of Abraham - God will be their Protecting Friend for what they used to do

2 Chronicles 20:7, Torah
[Are] You not our God, [who] drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and [who] gave [this land] to the seed of Abraham, Your friend forever?

*Genesis 15:5 - 6, Torah
[For remember when God] brought [Abraham] forth abroad, and said, "Look now toward the heavens, and tell the stars, if you are able to number them," and He said to him, "So will your seed be." And [Abraham] believed in the Lord; and He counted it to him for righteousness.

[Book of Jubilees 19:11], Torah
[And thus,] he was found faithful, and was recorded on the heavenly tables as the friend of God.

*James 2:23, Gospel
And [thus] the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness;" and he was called the Friend of God.

4:125, Qur'an
[So] who is better in religion than one who submits himself to God while being a doer of good and follows the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth?  And God took Abraham as a friend.

6:161 - 163, Qur'an
[So] say, "Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path - a correct religion - the way of Abraham, inclining toward truth.  And he was not among those who associated [others with God]."  [So] say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for God, Lord of the worlds.  He has no partner.  And I have been commanded this, and I am the first [among you] of those in submission [to God]."

6:126 - 127, Qur'an
And this is the path of your Lord, [leading] straight. We have detailed the verses for a people who remember. There will be the Home of Peace with their Lord for them. And He will be their protecting friend because of what they used to do.
