ام تقولون ان ابراهيم واسماعيل واسحاق ويعقوب والاسباط كانوا هودا او نصارى قل اانتم اعلم ام الله ومن اظلم ممن كتم شهادة عنده من الله وما الله بغافل عما تعملون

Or do ye say that Abraham, Ismā'īl, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know better Than God? Ah! who Is more unjust than those Who conceal the testimony They have from God? But God is not unmindful Of what ye do!
