An-Nisa 4:171 يا اهل الكتاب لا تغلوا في دينكم ولا تقولوا على الله الا الحق انما المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول الله وكلمته القاها الى مريم وروح منه فامنوا بالله ورسله ولا تقولوا ثلاثة انتهوا خيرا لكم انما الله الاه واحد سبحانه ان يكون له ولد له ما في السماوات وما في الارض وكفى بالله وكيلا ١٧١

People of the Book! Do not exceed the limits in your religion,1 and attribute to Allah nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and His command2 that He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him (which led to Mary's conception).3 So believe in Allah and in His Messengers,4 and do not say: (Allah is a) trinity5. Give up this assertion; it would be better for you. Allah is indeed just one God. Far be it from His glory that He should have a son.6 To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth.7 Allah is sufficient for a guardian.8

167. Those who denied this truth and barred others from the way of Allah have indeed strayed far. 168. Likewise, Allah will neither forgive those who denied the truth and took to wrong-doing nor will He show them any other way. 169. save that of Hell wherein they will abide. And that is easy for Allah. 170. O men! Now that the Messenger has come to you bearing the Truth from your Lord, believe in him; it will be good for you. If you reject, know well that to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. 171. People of the Book!
