پس اِسی بنا پر چاہئے کہ تُو انہیں دعوت دے اور مضبوطی سے اپنے موقف پر قائم ہو جا جیسے تجھے حکم دیا جاتا ہے اور اُن کی خواہشات کی پیروی نہ کر اور کہہ دے کہ میں اس پر ایمان لا چکا ہوں جو کتاب ہی کی باتوں میں سے اللہ نے اُتارا ہے۔ اور مجھے حکم دیا گیا ہے کہ میں تمہارے درمیان انصاف کا معاملہ کروں۔ اللہ ہی ہمارا ربّ اور تمہارا بھی ربّ ہے۔ ہمارے لئے ہمارے اعمال اور تمہارے لئے تمہارے اعمال ہیں ۔ ہمارے اور تمہارے درمیان کوئی جھگڑا (کام) نہیں (آسکتا)۔ اللہ ہمیں اکٹھا کرے گا اور اُسی کی طرف لوٹ کر جانا ہے۔

Vers ceci donc, appelle l’humanité. Et sois constant comme il t’est ordonné, et ne suis pas leurs mauvais penchants, mais dis : « Je crois en tout Livre révélé par Allāh, et il m’est ordonné de juger équitablement entre vous. Allāh est notre Seigneur et votre Seigneur. Pour nous sera la récompense de nos œuvres, et pour vous la récompense de vos œuvres. Il n’y a aucune querelle entre nous et vous. Allāh nous rassemblera, et auprès de Lui est la destination. »

Zu diesem (Glauben) also rufe (sie) auf. Und bleibe standhaft, wie dir geheißen ward, und folge ihren bösen Gelüsten nicht, sondern sprich: "Ich glaube an das Buch, was immer es sei, das Allah herabgesandt hat, und mir ist befohlen, gerecht zwischen euch zu richten. Allah ist unser Herr und euer Herr. Für uns unsere Werke, und für euch eure Werke! Kein Streit ist zwischen uns und euch. Allah wird uns zusammenbringen, und zu Ihm ist die Heimkehr."

A questa religione dunque, tu invita l'umanità. E sii saldo in essa, come ti è stato comandato, e non seguire le loro cattive inclinazioni, ma di': «Io credo nel libro che Allah ha inviato, e mi è stato ordinato di giudicare con giustizia fra di voi. Allah è il nostro Signore e il vostro Signore. A noi la ricompensa per le nostre azioni; a voi la ricompensa per le vostre azioni. Non c'è motivo di litigare tra noi e voi. Allah ci radunerà insieme, e a Lui si deve tornare.»

Ante esto, pues, invita tú a la humanidad. Sé perseverante como se te ha ordenado, y no sigas sus perversas inclinaciones, sino diles: “Creo en cualquier Libro revelado por Al-lah y se me ha ordenado juzgar con justicia entre vosotros. Al-lah es nuestro Señor y vuestro Señor. Para nosotros es la recompensa de nuestras obras y para vosotros la recompensa de las vuestras. No hay disputa alguna entre nosotros y vosotros. Al-lah nos reunirá juntos y a Él será el retorno”.

Commentary:

The Holy Prophet is here enjoined to tell the followers of earlier Prophets that he believes in all the revealed Scriptures that had come before him. There was, therefore, no cause for them to quarrel with him. But since they continued to reject him, so time will show who is in the right and who in the wrong. The words, "Allah will gather us together" may imply a prophecy that disbelievers will join the fold of Islam.
