The Holy Quran 2:139 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

قُلْ أَتُحَآجُّونَنَا فِى ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ وَلَنَآ أَعْمَـٰلُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُۥ مُخْلِصُونَ

Translation

(When the Jews told the Muslims in Madinah that prophets can only be born from the Bani Israa'eel and not from the Arabs, Allaah revealed the command stating) Say (to the Jews), "Do you argue (debate) with us about Allaah (about Him choosing a prophet from the Arabs), when He is our Rabb and your Rabb (and therefore has the right to choose whoever He wills) and when our actions are for our benefit (making us worthy of having a prophet from among us) and your actions are for your benefit and when we are sincerely His (sincerely devoted to His Deen)?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

قل -أيها الرسول لأهل الكتاب-: أتجادلوننا في توحيد الله والإخلاص له، وهو رب العالمين جميعًا، لا يختص بقوم دون قوم، ولنا أعمالنا ولكم أعمالكم، ونحن لله مخلصو العبادة والطَّاعة لا نشرك به شيئًا، ولا نعبد أحدًا غيره؟
