Sura Al-Imran from 16 to 22


16. Those who say: « Our Lord! We have indeed believed, so forgive us our sins and save us from the punishment of the Fire. »
17. ( They are ) those who are patient, those who are true ( in Faith, words, and deeds ) , and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allâh. Those who spend [ give the Zakât and alms in the Way of Allâh ] and those who pray and beg Allâh’s Pardon in the last hours of the night.
18. Allâh bears witness that Lâ ilâha illa Huwa ( none has the right to be worshipped but He ) , and the angels, and those having knowledge ( also give this witness ) ; ( He always ) maintains His creation in Justice. Lâ ilâha illa Huwa ( none has the right to be worshipped but He ) , the All- Mighty, the All- Wise.
19. Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm. Those who were given the Scripture ( Jews and Christians ) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, signs, revelations, etc. ) of Allâh, then surely, Allâh is Swift in calling to account.
20. So if they dispute with you ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) say: « I have submitted myself to Allâh ( in Islâm ) , and ( so have ) those who follow me. » And say to those who were given the Scripture ( Jews and Christians ) and to those who are illiterates ( Arab pagans ) : « Do you ( also ) submit yourselves ( to Allâh in Islâm ) ? » If they do, they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message; and Allâh is All- Seer of ( His ) slaves [ 1 ] .
21. Verily! Those who disbelieve in the Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. ) of Allâh and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just dealings, ... then announce to them a painful torment.
22. They are those whose works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.
