Surah 3. Al-i'Imran, Ayah 85
| وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- man yabtaghi ghayr al- islaam den(an) fa- lan yuqbal min -hu wa- huwa fe al- 'aakhirah min al- khaasiren |
| Pickthall | : | And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to Allah) it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter. |
| Asad | : | For, if one goes in search of a religion other than self-surrender unto God, it will never be accepted from him, and in the life to come he shall be among the lost. |
| Malik | : | If anyone is looking for a religion other than Islam, then let it be known that it will not be accepted from him; and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good). 418 |
Note - 418The Muslim position is clear. The Muslim does not claim
to have a religion peculiar to himself. Islam is not a
sect or an ethnic religion. In its view all Religion is
one, for the Truth is one. It was the religion preached
by all the earlier Prophets. It was the truth taught by
all the inspired Books. In essence it amounts to a
consciousness of the Will and Plan of Allah and a joyful
submission to that Will and Plan. If any one wants a
religion other than that, he is false to his own nature,
as he is false to Allah's Will and Plan. Such a one
cannot expect guidance, for he has deliberately renounced
guidance. (A) Cf. ii. 161-62.
