But towards those who do wrong out of ignorance, and afterwards repent and make amends, your Lord is most forgiving and merciful.

Abraham was truly an example: devoutly obedient to God and true in faith. He was not an idolater;

he was thankful for the blessings of God who chose him and guided him to a straight path.

We gave him blessings in this world, and he is among the right-eous in the Hereafter.

Then We revealed to you [Muhammad], ‘Follow the creed of Abraham, a man of pure faith who was not an idolater.’

The Sabbath was made obligatory only for those who differed about it. On the Day of Resurrection your Lord will judge between them as to their differences.

[Prophet], call [people] to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching. Argue with them in the most courteous way, for your Lord knows best who has strayed from His way and who is rightly guided.

If you [believers] have to respond to an attack, make your response proportionate, but it is best to stand fast.

So [Prophet] be steadfast: your steadfastness comes only from God. Do not grieve over them; do not be distressed by their scheming,

for God is with those who are mindful of Him and who do good.
