83. Do they seek for other than the Religion of Allah? While all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling, bowed to God's Will, and to God shall they all be brought back.
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."

Qur'an 20110324
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
72. A section of the people of the Book say, "Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers, but reject it at the end of the day, perchance they may turn back."
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."
74. For God's Mercy, God specially chooses whom God pleases. For Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded.

Qur'an 20110323
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.
The Family of Imran 3:64-67

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.

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.

Qur'an 20110321
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the rejected.
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful
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."
(The Cattle 6:19)

Qur'an 20110318
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
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.

Qur'an 20110317
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.
