19. Surely, the true Religion by Allah is Islam [37]. And those who were given the Scripture did not dissent [38] except after the knowledge had come to them [39] because of their hearts burning [40]. And whoever denies the verses of Allah, then surely Allah is swift [41] in (taking) account.

فَإِنۡ حَآجُّوكَ فَقُلۡ أَسۡلَمۡتُ وَجۡهِيَ لِلَّهِ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِۗ وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ ءَأَسۡلَمۡتُمۡۚ فَإِنۡ أَسۡلَمُواْ فَقَدِ ٱهۡتَدَواْۖ وَّإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَلَٰغُۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ

20. Then (O Prophet), if they argue with you, please declare: "I have submitted myself to Allah [42] and those who followed me [43]." And please declare to those given the Scripture [44] and to the unlettered: "Have you submitted?" Then, if they submit (in Islam), they are rightly guided [45]. But if they turn away their faces, then your duty is only to convey the Message [46]. And, surely, Allah is seeing His devotees.
