﴿ أَفَغَيْرَ دِينِ ٱللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَلَهُۥٓ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ طَوْعًۭا وَكَرْهًۭا وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ ﴾

“Do they seek, perchance, a faith other than in God, although it is unto Him that whatever is in the heavens and on earth surrenders itself, willingly or unwillingly, since unto Him all must return?”

(Seek they other than the religion of Allah�) [3:83]. Said ibn �Abbas: �The people of the two Scriptures [the Jews and the Christians] went to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, to settle a dispute regarding Abraham's religion, for one of these parties claimed that they had the best claim to his religion. The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: �None of the parties has anything to do with the religion of Abraham�. But this statement angered both parties. They said: �By Allah, we do not accept your judgement nor are we going to follow your religion!� Allah, exalted is He, then revealed (Seek they other than the religion of Allah�)�.
