A]O People <strong>of</strong> the Scripture! Do not exaggerate <strong>in</strong> your religion n<strong>or</strong> utter<br />

aught concern<strong>in</strong>g Allah save the truth. <strong>The</strong> Messiah, Jesus son <strong>of</strong> Mary,<br />

was only a messenger <strong>of</strong> Allah, <strong>and</strong> His w<strong>or</strong>d which He conveyed unto<br />

Mary, <strong>and</strong> a spirit from Him. So believe <strong>in</strong> Allah <strong>and</strong> His messengers,<br />

<strong>and</strong> say not "Three". Cease! (it is) better f<strong>or</strong> you! Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that he<br />

should have a son. His is all that is <strong>in</strong> the heavens <strong>and</strong> all that is <strong>in</strong> the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.<br />
