Ali 'Imran (The Family of Imran)
Verse 64of 200
قُلْ يَٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ تَعَالَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٍۢ سَوَآءٍۭ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلَّا نَعْبُدَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِۦ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًۭا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُولُوا۟ ٱشْهَدُوا۟ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ﴿٦٤﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."
Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Every Person Knows about TawhidThis Ayah includes the People of the Book, the Jews and Christians, and those who follow their ways.قُلْ يأَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ تَعَالَوْاْ إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ(Say: "O people of the Scripture! Come to a word")`Word' - in Arabic - also means a complete sentence, as evident from this Ayah. Allah described this word as being one,سَوَآءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ(that is the same between us and you), an honest and righteous word that is fair to both parties.
