وَلاَ تُجَادِلُوا أَهْلَ الْکِتَابِ إِلاَّ بِالَّتِی هِیَ أَحْسَنُ إِلاَّ الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ وَقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِالَّذِی أُنْزِلَ إِلَیْنَا وَأُنْزِلَ إِلَیْکُمْ وَإِلهُنَا وَإِلهُکُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ(( 46 ))

46- AND DISPUTE NOT WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK, (CHRISTIANS AND JEWS) EXCEPT IN A MANNER THAT IS THE BEST; UNLESS IT BE WITH THOSE OF THEM WHO HAVE OPPRESSED. AND SAY:- ``WE BELIEVE IN WHAT HAS BEEN SENT DOWN TO US, AND IN WHAT HAS BEEN SENT TO YOU. AND OUR GOD AND YOUR GOD IS ONE, AND TO HIM WE HAVE SUBMITTED.''

وَکَذلِکَ أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَیْکَ الْکِتَابَ فَالَّذِینَ آتَیْنَاهُمْ الْکِتَابَ یُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَمِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ مَنْ یُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَمَا یَجْحَدُ بِآیَاتِنَا إِلاَّ الْکَافِرُونَ(( 47 ))

47- AND SO HAVE WE SEND DOWN TO YOU THE BOOK. AND THOSE TO WHOM WE HAVE GIVEN THE SCRIPTURES BELIEVE IN IT, AND OF THESE (PAGAN ARABS TOO) IS HE WHO BELIEVE IN IT, AND DENY NOT OUR SIGNS EXCEPT THE NON-BELIEVERS.

وَمَا کُنْتَ تَتْلُواْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مِنْ کِتَاب وَلاَ تَخُطُّهُ بِیَمِینِکَ إِذاً لاَرْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ(( 48 ))

48- AND YOU WERE NOT TO READ ANY BOOK BEFORE IT, NOR TO WRITE IT WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND, LEST THOSE WHO WISH TO FRUSTRATE YOU COULD HAVE (REASON) TO DOUBT.

بَلْ هُوَ آیَاتٌ بَیِّنَاتٌ فِی صُدُورِ الَّذِینَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَمَا یَجْحَدُ بِآیَاتِنَا إِلاَّ الظَّالِمُونَ(( 49 ))

49- IT RATHER IS CLEAR SIGNS IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO ARE ENDOWED WITH KNOWLEDGE, AND DENY NOT OR SIGNS EXCEPT THE OPPRESSORS.
