RELIGION:
2:130 - And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly?
Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: and he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of
the righteous. 130
130 Istafa: chose; chose because of purity; chose and purified. It is the same root from which Mustafa is derived, one of
the titles of Muhammad. (2.130)
2:135 - They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (to salvation)." Say thou:
"Nay! (I would rather) the religion of Abraham the true and he joined not gods with Allah." 134
134 Hanif: inclined to right opinion, orthodox (in the literal meaning of the Greed words), firm in faith, sound and wellbalanced,
true. Perhaps the last word, True, sums up most of the other shades. (2.135)
2:138 - (Our religion is) the baptism of Allah; and who can baptize better than Allah? and it is He
whom we worship. 137
137 Sibgat: baptism: the root-meaning implies a dye or colour; apparently the Arab Christians mixed a dye or colour in the
baptismal water, signifying that the baptized person got a new colour in life. We do not believe that it is necessary to
be baptized to be saved. Our higher baptism is the "Baptism" of God, by which we take on a colour (sumbolically) of
God, and absorb His goodness in us. (2.138)
2:256 - Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error; whoever rejects
evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks. And
Allah heareth and knoweth all things. 300301
300 Compulsion is incompatible with religion; because 1) religion depends upon faith and will, and these would be
meaningless if induced by force; 2) Truth and Error have been so clearly shown up by the mercy of God that there
should be no doubt in the minds of any persons of goodwill as to the fundamentals of faith; 3) God's protection is
continuous and His Plan is always to lead us from the depths of darkness into the clearest light. (2.256)
301 Hand-hold: something which the hands can grasp for safety in a moment of danger. It may be a loop or a handle, or
anchor. If it is without flaw, so that there is no danger of breaking, our safety is absolutely assured so long as we hold
fast to it. Our safety then depends on our own will and faith; God's help and protection will always be unfailing if we
hold firmly to God and trust in Him. (2.256)
3:19 - The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His will): nor did the people of the Book
dissent therefrom except through envy of each other after knowledge had come to them. But
if any deny the Signs of Allah Allah is swift in calling to account. 359
359 Bagyan: through envy, through selfish contumacy or obstinacy, through sheer contrary-mindedness, or desire to resist
or rebel. Cf. ii. 90, and ii. 213. (3.19)
3:20 - So if they dispute with thee say: "I have submitted my whole self to Allah and so have those
who follow me." And say to the people of the Book and to those who are unlearned: "Do ye
(also) submit yourselves?" If they do they are in right guidance but if they turn back thy duty is
to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are (all) His servants. 360361362
360 Wajh: whole self. See n. 114 to ii. 112. (3.20)
361 The People of the Book may be supposed to know something about the previous religious history of mankind. To
them the appeal should be easy and intelligible, as all Religion is one, and it is only being renewed in Islam. But the
appeal is also made to the Pagan Arabs, who are unlearned, and who can well be expected to follow the example of
one of their own, who received divine enlightenment, and was able to bring new knowledge to them. A great many of
both these classes did so. But the few who resisted Allah's grace, and actually threatened and persecuted those who
believed, are told that Allah will look after His own. (3.20)
