He has prescribed for you the religion which He enjoined upon Noah and which We revealed to you (O Muhammad), and which We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus, commanding: "Establish this religion and do not split up regarding it."[1] What you are calling to is very hard upon those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity. Allah chooses for Himself whomsoever He pleases and guides to Himself whoever penitently turns to Him.[2]
14
They did not split up except after knowledge had come to them,[1] and then only because they wished to commit excesses against each other.[2] Had your Lord not already decreed that judgement would be made later at an appointed time, the matter between them would surely have been decided once and for all.[3] Indeed those who were later made the heirs of the Book are in disquieting doubt about it.[4]
15
(This being so, O Muhammad), call people to the same religion and be steadfast about it as you were commanded, and do not follow their desires,[1] and say (to them): "I believe in the Book Allah has sent down.[2] I have been commanded to establish justice among you.[3] Allah is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds and you have your deeds.[4] There is no contention between us and you.[5] Allah will bring us all together. To Him all are destined to return."

Do they have any associates (of Allah) who have laid down for them a way pertaining to faith which Allah did not sanction?[1] But for the fact that a decree had already been made, the matter between them would have been decided once and for all. Surely a grievous chastisement awaits the wrong-doers.[2]

23
That is the Bounty of which Allah gives tidings to His servants who have faith and do good deeds. Tell them, (O Prophet): "I do not ask you for any recompense for my work[1] except love towards kinsfolk."[2] Whoever does a good deed, We shall increase its merit for him. Surely Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Appreciative.[3]

You shall see them, as they are brought face to face with the chastisement, in a state of abject humiliation, looking with a furtive glance.[1] But the believers will say: "Surely the true losers are they who lose themselves and their kindred on the Day of Resurrection." Lo, the wrong-doers will be in an enduring torment.

(O Prophet), if they turn away from the Truth, know that We did not send you to them as their overseer.[1] Your task is only to convey (the Message). Indeed when We give man a taste of Our Mercy, he exults in it. But if any misfortune afflicts them on account of their deeds, man is utterly ungrateful.[2]
