And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when Allah took the covenant of
the prophets, [saying], "Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom
and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you
[must] believe in him and support him." [ Allah ] said, "Have you
acknowledged and taken upon that My commitment?" They said, "We have
acknowledged it." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the
witnesses."
So is it other than the religion of Allah they desire, while to Him have
submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by
compulsion, and to Him they will be returned?
Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what
was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and
in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord.
We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims
[submitting] to Him."
How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had
witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And
Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
Indeed, those who reject the message after their belief and then increase
in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they
are the ones astray.
Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never
would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of
them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be
a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.
