يَا أَهْلَ
الْكِتَابِ
لَا
تَغْلُوا
فِي
دِينِكُمْ
وَلَا
تَقُولُوا
عَلَى
اللَّهِ
إِلَّا
الْحَقَّ
إِنَّمَا
الْمَسِيحُ
عِيسَى
ابْنُ
مَرْيَمَ
رَسُولُ
اللَّهِ
وَكَلِمَتُهُ
أَلْقَاهَا
إِلَى
مَرْيَمَ
وَرُوحٌ
مِّنْهُ
فَآمِنُوا
بِاللَّهِ
وَرُسُلِهِ
وَلَا
تَقُولُوا
ثَلَاثَةٌ
انتَهُوا
خَيْرًا
لَّكُمْ
إِنَّمَا
اللَّهُ
إِلَهٌ
وَاحِدٌ
سُبْحَانَهُ
أَن
يَكُونَ
لَهُ
وَلَدٌ
لَّهُ
مَا
فِي
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَمَا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
وَكَفَى
بِاللَّهِ

O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.
— Abdullah Yusufali
O People of the Book! Do not exceed the bounds in your religion, and do not attribute anything to Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only an apostle of Allah, and His Word that He cast toward Mary and a spirit from Him. So have faith in Allah and His apostles, and do not say, ‘[God is] a trinity.’ Relinquish [such a creed]! That is better for you. Allah is but the One God. He is far too immaculate to have any son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and Allah suffices as trustee.
