3:83 - 85 THE RELIGION OF ISLAM
3:83 “ Do they look for a religion other than Islam, whereas every thing
in the heavens and earth submits itself to Him (i.e. Allah) willingly or
unwillingly; and to Him shall they return.”
3:84 “ Say (Holy Prophet): ‘ [We are not like you (O’ People of the
Book!), who believe in the Prophets of their choice, whereas we believe
in all of them, since we are the custodians of their teachings.] We
believe in Allah and that which has been sent down (i.e. Al-Quran) to us,
and in that which was sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isaac, Yaqub
(Jacob) and Al-Asba’t (i.e. the sons of Yaqub) as well as sent down to
Musa (Moses), Easa (Jesus) and (all) the (other) Prophets from their
Lord; and that We make no distinction (at all) between any of them
(while believing) (since all of them are the Prophets), and we have
submitted (ourselves) to Him (as Muslims, believing in His Religion of
Islam).” *
* [The above Verse provides the definition of a Muslim. The followers of Islam believe in all the Prophets. See also 2:136,137.]
3:85 “ And who so ever looks for a religion other than Islam, it shall never be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter, he will be from the failures.”
