In the sight of Allah, the religion is Islam, the upright religion of Abraham: these verses affirm it and call on believers to die only as Muslims. They recall that this religion is ease and that there is no compulsion in religion, warn against excess and division, and urge people to gain understanding of the religion and to call others to it.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allāh except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allāh and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allāh and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allāh is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.
Say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way."
