O People of the Book! Do not go beyond the limits in your religion, and do not say anything about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Isa, son of Maryam, was only a messenger of Allah, His word which He conveyed to Maryam, and a Ruh from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, “Three.” Stop doing so; that is better for you. Surely Allah is only One God. He is far too pure to have a son. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth belongs to Him. And Allah is sufficient as the Disposer of all affairs.

The Messiah never refuses to be a servant of Allah, nor do the angels who are close to Allah. And whoever refuses to worship Him and becomes arrogant, He will gather them all to Himself.

Surely they have disbelieved who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam.” Say, if Allah wanted to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam, his mother, and everyone on earth, then who would have any power against Allah? To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens, the earth, and everything between them. He creates whatever He wills. And Allah has power over all things.

Surely they have disbelieved who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, who is my Lord and your Lord.” Surely whoever associates partners with Allah, Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.

Surely they have disbelieved who say, “Allah is one of three.” But there is no god except One God. If they do not stop saying what they say, then a painful punishment will surely touch those among them who disbelieve.

Will they not turn to Allah in repentance and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

The Messiah, son of Maryam, was nothing more than a messenger. Many messengers had passed away before him. His mother was a truthful woman. Both of them used to eat food. Look how I make the signs clear for them; then look how they are turned away.

And when Allah will say, “O Isa, son of Maryam! Did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah’?” He will say, “Glory be to You! It was not proper for me to say something for which I had no right. If I had said it, You would certainly have known it. You know what is within me, but I do not know what is within Your knowledge. Surely, You alone are the All-Knower of the unseen.”

“I said nothing to them except what You commanded me to say: Worship Allah, who is my Lord and your Lord. As long as I remained among them, I was a witness over them. Then when You raised me up, You were the Watcher over them. And You are Witness over all things.”

“If You punish them, then they are surely Your servants. And if You forgive them, then surely You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.”

Surely the example of Isa before Allah is like the example of Adam. He created him from dust, then He said to him, “Be,” and he came into existence.

It is not possible for a human being that Allah gives him the Book, wisdom, and prophethood, and then he says to the people, “Become my servants instead of Allah.” Rather, he would say, “Become people devoted to the Lord, because you teach the Book and because you study it.”

And he would never command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to disbelief after you have submitted to Allah?

Say, O People of the Book! Come to a common word between us and you: that we worship none except Allah, that we do not associate anything with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides Allah. Then if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we are those who submit to Allah.”

Say, O People of the Book! Do not go beyond the limits in your religion unjustly. And do not follow the desires of those people who went astray before, led many others astray, and deviated from the straight path.

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He has no wife? He created everything, and He has complete knowledge of all things.

They say, “Allah has taken a son.” Glory be to Him! He is free of all need. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth belongs to Him. You have no proof for this claim. Are you saying about Allah what you do not know?

And to warn those who say, “Allah has taken a son.” They have no knowledge of this, nor did their forefathers. How terrible is the word that comes out of their mouths! They say nothing but a lie.

Allah has not taken any son, and there is no god with Him. If there were, then each god would have taken away what he created, and some of them would have tried to dominate others. Glory be to Allah above what they say.

He is the One to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He has not taken any son, and He has no partner in His kingdom. He created everything and determined it with perfect measure.

He was only a servant upon whom I bestowed favor, and I made him an example for the Children of Israel.

And when Isa came with clear proofs, he said, “I have come to you with wisdom, and to make clear to you some of the matters in which you differ. So fear Allah and obey me. Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him alone. This is the straight path.”

Say: He is Allah, One. Allah is Self-Sufficient. He neither gives birth, nor was He born. And there is none comparable to Him.
