There are some among them who distort the Book with their tongues to make you think this ˹distortion˺ is from the Book—but it is not what the Book says. They say, “It is from Allah”—but it is not from Allah. And ˹so˺ they attribute lies to Allah knowingly.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
It is not appropriate for someone who Allah has blessed with the Scripture, wisdom, and prophethood to say to people, “Worship me instead of Allah.” Rather, he would say, “Be devoted to the worship of your Lord ˹alone˺”—in accordance with what these prophets read in the Scripture and what they taught.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And he would never ask you to take angels and prophets as lords. Would he ask you to disbelieve after you have submitted?

˹Remember˺ when Allah made a covenant with the prophets, ˹saying,˺ “Now that I have given you the Book and wisdom, if there comes to you a messenger1 confirming what you have, you must believe in him and support him.” He added, “Do you affirm this covenant and accept this commitment?” They said, “Yes, we do.” Allah said, “Then bear witness, and I too am a Witness.”

Whoever turns back after this, they will be the rebellious.

Do they desire a way other than Allah’s—knowing that all those in the heavens and the earth submit to His Will, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will ˹all˺ be returned?
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord—we make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we ˹fully˺ submit.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Whoever seeks a way other than Islam,1 it will never be accepted from them, and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
How will Allah guide a people who chose to disbelieve after they had believed, acknowledged the Messenger to be true, and received clear proofs? For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Their reward is that they will be condemned by Allah, the angels, and all of humanity.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They will be in Hell forever. Their punishment will not be lightened, nor will they be delayed ˹from it˺.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
