130 And who will turn his face from the religion of Ibrahim, save one who is a foolish in heart, and undoubtedly, We necessarily, chose him in the world and surely he is among the people having ability to gain Our special proximity in the hereafter.
131 When his Lord said to him, "Surrender", submitted he, 'I surrendered to Him, Who is the Lord of all the worlds'.
132 And Ibrahim left the legacy of the same religion to his sons and Yaqoob too; that 'O my sons, surely Allah has chosen this religion for you, therefore die not, but as Muslim.
133 On the contrary, some of you were present, when death came to Yaqoob, when he said to his sons, 'whom you will worship after me', said they 'we shall worship He Who is your God and of your fathers Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaque, the one God and to Him we have submitted ourselves'.
134 This is a community that has passed away, for them what they earned and for you are what you earn and you shall not be questioned for their deeds.
135 And the people of the book spoke, 'Be Jews or Christians, you will get guidance'. Say you, 'on the contrary, we take the religion of Ibrahim who was away from every falls-hood and was not among the polytheists'.
136 Say like this, 'we believe in Allah and what has been sent down towards us and what was sent down on Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaque and Yaqoob and on his son and what was given to Moses and Christ and what was given to the rest of the prophets from their Lord: we do not differentiate between any of them in the matter of faith and we have submitted ourselves to Allah.
137 Then if they believe too, as you have believed then they are guided, and if they turn back their faces, then they are but in total schism. So, O beloved, prophet! Soon Allah will suffice you on behalf of them. He is alone Hearing and Knowing.
138 We took the dye of Allah and whose dye is better than Allah and We worship Him alone.
139 Lord and yours too; and our doings are with us and your doings with you, and we belong totally to Him alone.
