Translation of Verse 130-141

130. And who would reject the faith of Abraham except a fool! We certainly chose him in this life, and in the Hereafter he will surely be among the righteous.

131. When his Lord ordered him, "Submit ˹to My Will˺," he responded, "I submit to the Lord of all worlds."

132. This was the advice of Abraham-as well as Jacob-to his children, ˹saying˺, "Indeed, Allah has chosen for you this faith; so do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission."

133. Or did you witness when death came to Jacob? He asked his children, "Who will you worship after my passing?" They replied, "We will ˹continue to˺ worship your God, the God of your forefathers-Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac- the One God. And to Him we ˹all˺ submit."

134. That was a community that had already gone before. For them is what they earned and for you is what you have earned. And you will not be accountable for what they have done.

135. The Jews and Christians each say, "Follow our faith to be ˹rightly˺ guided." Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "No! We follow the faith of Abraham, the upright-who was not a polytheist."

136. Say, ˹O believers,˺ "We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit."

137. So if they believe in what you believe, then they will indeed be ˹rightly˺ guided. But if they turn away, they are simply opposed ˹to the truth˺. But Allah will spare you their evil. For He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

138. This is the ˹natural˺ Way of Allah. And who is better than Allah in ordaining a way? And we worship ˹none but˺ Him.

139. Say, "Would you dispute with us about Allah, while He is our Lord and your Lord? We are accountable for our deeds and you for yours. And we are devoted to Him ˹alone˺.

140. Or do you claim that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants were all Jews or Christians?" Say, "Who is more knowledgeable: you or Allah?" Who does more wrong than those who hide the testimony they received from Allah? And Allah is never unaware of what you do.

141. That was a community that had already gone before. For them is what they earned and for you is what you have earned. And you will not be accountable for what they have done.
