119. Ah! You are those who love them, but they love you not, though you believe in the whole of the Book. When they meet you, they say, "We believe," but when they are alone, they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage. Say, "Perish in your rage. Allah knows well all the secrets of the heart."
120. If aught that is good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some misfortune overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if you are constant and do right, not the least harm will their cunning do to you, for Allah compasses round about all that they do.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
95. Say, "Allah speaks the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith. He was not of the pagans."
96. The first House appointed for humans was that at Bakkah, full of blessing, and of guidance for all kinds of beings.
97. In it are Signs manifest, the Station of Abraham: whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage thereto is a duty humans owe to Allah, those who can afford the journey. But if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of God's creatures.
98. Say, "O people of the Book! Why reject you the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Witness to alll you do?"
99. Say, "O people of the Book! Why obstruct you those who believe, from the path of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, while you were yourselves witnesses? But Allah is not unmindful of all that you do."
100. O you who believe! If you listen to a faction among the people of the Book, they would render you apostates after you have believed!

92. By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you give of which you love. And whatever you give, of a truth Allah knows it well.
93. All food was lawful to the children of Israel, except what Israel made unlawful for itself, before the Law was revealed. Say,"Bring you the Law and study it, if you be men of truth."
94. If any after this, invent a lie and attribute it to Allah, they are indeed unjust wrongdoers.

84. Say, "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to God do we bow our will."

73. "And believe no one unless he follows your religion." Say, "True guidance is the Guidance of Allah, lest a revelation be sent to someone like unto that which was sent unto you! Or that those should engage you in argument before your Lord?" Say, "All bounties are in the Hand of Allah: God grants them to whom God pleases, and Allah is the All-Caring, the Omniscient."

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
64. Say: "O people of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but Allah, that we associate no partners with God, that we erect not, from among ourselves, lords and patrons other than Allah." If they turn back, say you: "Bear witness that we are Muslims."
65. You people of the Book! Why dispute you about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel were not revealed till after him? Have you no understanding?
66. Ah! You are those who fell to disputing in matters of which you had some knowledge! But why dispute you in matters of which you have no knowledge? It is Allah who Knows, and you who know not!
67. Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian, but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah's, and he joined not gods with Allah.

O people of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but Allah, that we associate no partners with God, that we erect not, from among ourselves, lords and patrons other than Allah.
Bear witness that we are Muslims.
Prophet Abraham was truly a remarkable person. In the Qur'an, Allah refers to him as a "friend". His name is mentioned in honor along with prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) in every congregational prayer. How is it that he acquired such a high rank in the Sight of God? Most of the prophets mentioned in the Qur'an were either wartime prophets (Muhammad, David, Solomon), or withstood severe oppression (Moses, Jesus, Joseph, Lot). There were some prophets who weren't subject to such extremes (Idris, Luqman), but they did not achieve the highest rank.
Then there was Abraham. He attained Awareness of God at a very young age (15/16), since there is no mention in the Qur'an of visitation by angels until he got older: he reached Awareness of God by his own reckoning (no books, no human teachers), by the Leave of Allah. Banished by his own family of idolaters, he worked alone most of his life (no followers), in the desert, laying the foundations of the city of Mecca. When prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) visited heaven in the event of Isra'/Mi'raj, he found Abraham waiting in the highest heaven.

59. The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam. God created him from dust, then said to him, "Be!" And he was.
60. The Truth from your Lord alone, so be not of those who doubt.
61. If anyone disputes in this matter with you now after knowledge has come to you, say, "Come! Let us gather our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"
62. This is the true account: there is no god except Allah. And Allah: God is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
63. But if they turn back, Allah has full knowledge of those who do mischief.

Say, "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say, "Allah is witness between me and you. This Qur'an has been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you and all whom it reaches. Can you possibly bear witness that besides Allah there is another God?" Say, "No, I cannot bear witness!" Say, "But in truth, God is the One God, and I am innocent of joining others with God."

28. Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers. If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah except by way of precaution, that you may guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you Godself, for the final goal is to Allah.
29. Say, "Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all. God knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and Allah has power over all things."
30. On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil. But Allah cautions you Godself, and Allah is Full of Kindness to those that serve God.
31. Say, "If you do love Allah, follow me. Allah will love you, and forgive you your sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful."
32. Say, "Obey Allah and God's messenger." But if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject Faith.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
23. Have you turned your vision to those who have been given a portion of the Book? They are invited to the Book of Allah to settle their dispute, but a party of them turn back and decline.
24. This because they say, "The fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days." For their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.
25. But how, when We gather them together against a Day about which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned, without injustice?
26. Say, "O Allah! Lord of Power! You give Power to whom you please, and You strip off Power from whom You please. You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your Hand is all Good. Verily, over all things You have Power."
The Family of Imran 3:21-26

O Allah! Lord of Power! You give Power to whom you please, and You strip off Power from whom You please. You endue with honor whom You please, and You bring low whom You please. In Your Hand is all Good. Verily, over all things You have Power.
Those who kill the prophets of Allah, and those who kill people who teach just dealing with mankind have no clue of power, and the measure of time. Allah promises them a grievous penalty. They will get theirs, if not already.

Qur'an 20110315
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
12. Say to those who reject Faith, "Soon you will be vanquished, and gathered together to hell- an evil bed indeed!"
13. There has already been for you a Sign in the two armies that met: one was fighting in the Cause of Allah, the other resisting Allah; these saw with their own eyes twice their number. But Allah does support with God's aid whom God pleases. In this is a warning for such as have eyes to see.
14. Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons, heaped up hoards of gold and silver, horses branded and cattle, and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life, but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals.
15. Say, "Shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those? For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord, with rivers flowing beneath. Therein is their eternal home, with companions pure, and in good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are God's servants."
16. Those who say,"Our Lord! We have indeed believed. Forgive us then our sins, and save us from the agony of the fire."
17. Those who show patience, firmness and self-control, who are true, who worship devoutly, who spend, and who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.
18. There is no god but God. That is the witness of Allah, God's angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but God, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
19. The Religion before Allah is Islam. Nor did the people of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is Swift in calling to account.
20. So if they dispute with you, say, "I have submitted my whole self to Allah, and so have those who follow me." And say to the people of the Book, and those who are unlearned, "Do you submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance. But if they turn back, your duty is to convey the Message. And in Allah's sight are God's servants.
