Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(2:138) Say, "Take Allah's colour, *137 and who can give a better colour than Allah? Therefore, we worship and submit to Him alone. "

[And say, "Ours is] the religion of Allah. And who is better meaning

*137). This verse can be translated in two ways. One of these is: 'We have taken on Allah's colour.' The other is: 'Take on Allah's colour.' On the eve of the advent of Christianity the Jews followed the practice of bathing everyone who embraced their religion. This ritual bath signified that all his previous sins had been washed away and that he had adopted a different colour for his life. This practice was subsequently taken over by the Christians and is termed 'baptism'. Not only converts but even new-born babies were baptized. The Qur'anic remarks here refer to this institution. The Qur'an says in effect: 'Of what use is this formal baptism? What really is worth doing is to adopt the colour of God, and it is not water that gives one this colour but actual service and devotion to God.'
