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.

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.
