(64) Say ˹Muhammad˺: “People of the Book[605], come to a common word[606] between us and you, that we will not worship anything besides Allah; do not Associate anything with Him[607]; do not take each other as Lords besides Allah[608]. If they take to their heels, then say ˹Believers˺: “Bear you witness that we are devoutly surrendered[609] ˹to Him˺””.
[605] The Jews and the Christians. [606] Kalimatin sawā’, a standard, equal footing, mutually agreed upon word, i.e. the unadulterated Monotheistic declaration of Faith: “There is no god but God”. Here all three parties, Muslims, Jews and Christians, are asked to jointly declare it while ‘truly’ Believing it. (al-Ṭabarī, al-Wāsiṭī, Ibn Kathīr) [607] Hold them as gods besides God. [608] Who are worshipped besides God. [609] Muslimūn, lit. Muslims. The ones who totally surrender and devote themselves to God are the true Believers. True Belief is based on the foundation of worshipping God alone without claiming false deities besides Him, and following the example of the Prophet (ﷺ). Note that Muslims, just like Jesus’ disciples before, were required to declare to the Deniers that they are “devoutly surrendered/ submitted” to God—they do not put their desires, whims, status, wealth or families before God’s worship: “Say: “If your parents, children, brothers, spouses, clans, hard earned money, a trade for which you fear damage, and homes that you adore are favoured to you over Allah, His Messenger, and striving in His cause, then lie in waiting until Allah brings His Command to pass—Allah guides not the transgressors” (9: 24).
(65) “People of the Book, why do you argue regarding Ibrāhīm[610], while ˹both˺ the Torah and the Evangel were only sent down ˹long˺ after him?[611] Do you have no reason?”
[610] Both the Jews and the Christians claimed Abraham as their own. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr) [611] That is after Abraham’s time. All their arguments about Abraham were based on apocryphal stories and not solid, authentic accounts.
(66) “Here you are; you have argued about that of which you have knowledge, ˹but˺ why would you argue about that of which you have no knowledge[612]? Allah knows and you do not know”.
[612] Regarding Abraham’s true Faith. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Qurṭubī)
(67) Ibrāhīm was neither a Jew nor was he a Christian, but he was rightly oriented[613], devoutly surrendered[614] and was not among the Associators.
[613] Ḥanīf, is a very rich term but basically it means a pristine Believer. The basic semantic meaning of the root ḥ-n-f is inclination towards uprightness and eschewing crookedness. [614] Musliman, lit. Muslim. The theme of true Belief (Islām) is carried on here.
(68) Indeed those who can claim Ibrāhīm most are those who ˹truly˺ followed him, ˹as well as˺ this Prophet and the Believers[615]—Allah is the Ally of the Believers.
[615] Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Believing community around him, have more right to Abraham than any other nation, because they are the ones who truly follow his path unwaveringly. A true follower of the religion of Abraham is a truthful Monotheist; he worships God alone without the slightest form of Association (polytheism).
(70) “People of the Book, why do you Deny Allah’s Signs, while you bear witness ˹to their Truth˺?[616]”
[616] Here they are reproached for publicly Denying the Truth with which Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) came to them, while they have it written in their Books but hide it from people.
