135- AND THEY SAID: ‘BECOME JEWS OR CHRISTIANS, AND YOU WILL BE TRULY GUIDED’.  SAY: ‘BUT THE RELIGION OF IBRAHIM, THE TRUE AND PURE IN FAITH, HE WAS NOT OF THOSE WHO WORSHIP PARTNERS BESIDES GOD’.

136- YOU SAY : “WE BELIEVE IN ALLAH AND WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO YOU, AND WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO IBRAHIM, ISMAIL, IS,HAQ, YACOB AND THE ASBAT, AND WHAT WAS GIVEN TO MOSES AND JESUS AND WHAT WAS GIVEN TO THE PROPHETS FROM THEIR LORD, WE MAKE NO SEPARATION BETWEEN THEM, AND WE SUBMIT TO HIM (ALLAH).

137- IF THEY BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, THEY WILL BE RIGHTLY GUIDED, BUT IF THEY TURN AWAY, THEN THEY ARE IN DISCORD.  ALLAH WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR YOU AGAINST THEM, FOR HE HEARS AND KNOWS EVERY THING.

138- THIS IS ALLAH’S COLOUR, AND WHO’S COLOURS IS BETTER, AND WE WORSHIP HIM.

139- SAY: “DO YOU DISPUTE WITH US CONCERNING ALLAH WHILE HE IS OUR LORD AND YOU’RE, WE HAVE OUR DEEDS AND YOU HAVE YOUR DEEDS, AND WE ARE SINCERE TO HIM”.

140- OR DO YOU SAY THAT IBRAHIM, ISMAIL, IS, HAQ, YACOB, AND THE ASBAT WERE JEWS OR CHRISTIANS?  SAY: “DO YOU KNOW BETTER OR ALLAH”.  WHO IS MORE WICKED AND UNJUST THAN HE WHO HIDES A TESTIMONY HE HAS FROM ALLAH, FOR ALLAH IS NOT UNAWARE OF WHAT YOU DO.

141- THIS IS A NATION WHICH PASSED AWAY, THEY HAVE WHAT YOU EARNED AND YOU HAVE WHAT YOU EARNED, AND YOU SHALL NOT BE ASKED ABOUT WHAT THEY USED TO DO.

The Jews said to Mohamed prayer and peace upon him, be Jewish and you  will be rightly guided, and the Christians said be Christian and you will be rightly guided.  Allah the Highest is answering them. 

We are on the True religion starting from Ibrahim, Ismail, Is,haq, Jacob, the Asbat (Jacob’s twelve children), Moses, Jesus, and they are but some of the prophets of Allah.  They are all on the same Religion, Islam.  They all preached the same religion, Islam. 

Allah he Highest said: “THE MESSENGER BELIEVED IN WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO HIM FROM HIM LORD SO DID THE BELIEVERS; THEY ALL BELIEVED IN ALLAH, HIS ANGELS, HIS BOOKS AND HIS MESSENGERS, WE DO NOT SEPARATE BETWEEN ANY OF HIS MESSENGERS, AND THEY SAID: ‘WE HEAR AND WE OBEY, OUR LORD FORGIVE US FOR TO YOU IS OUR DESTINY”.  (S:2 A:285)

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “I am the closest person to Jesus the son of Mary”.  He was asked: “How is this Allah’s messenger”.  He said: “All the prophets are brothers born to different women, their mothers are different but their religion is one, and there is not prophet between us (Mohamed and Jesus peace upon them)”.       (B: Anbia; 48 & M: Fadael; 143-145 & D: Sunah; 13 & A: 2; 463451)

Al-Asbat are the grandchildren in Arabic.  They refer to the 12 grandchildren of Jacob, the 12 tribes of the children of Israel are their descendants.

Allah’s colour is Allah’s Faith.  This is a figure of speech, as we use colours with flags or to symbolize the group we belong to.

Statement in These Ayahs concerning many points of dispute:

-         That Ibrahim, Ismail, Is, Haq, Jacob, Asbat, Moses, Jesus, were not Jews nor Christians, but Muslims.

-         All Allah’s  prophets and messengers peace be upon them delivered the same message from the same God.  It is not for a believer to believe in one not the other .

-         The Christians and Jews hid the testimonies concerning the coming of Mohamed prayer and peace upon him, and they still do.

-         Every nation is responsible for it’s own actions and deeds before Allah the Highest just as every person is.

-         The most important thing is to be sincere in our faith to Allah the Highest.  This sincerity warrants obedience and submission.
