He (Allah)
has ordained for you the same religion (Islam) which He ordained for Nuh
(Noah), and that which We have inspired in you (O Muhammad SAW), and
that which We ordained for Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and 'Iesa
(Jesus) saying you should establish religion (i.e. to do what it orders
you to do practically), and make no divisions in it (religion) (i.e.
various sects in religion). Intolerable for the Mushrikun , is that to
which you (O Muhammad SAW) call them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He
wills, and guides unto Himself who turns to Him in repentance and in
obedience.
~ Ash- Shura:13
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
He has prescribed for you as a
religion that which He enjoined upon Noah — for he was the first of the
prophets [sent] with a [Divine] Law — and that which We have revealed to
you, and that which We enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus
[declaring], ‘Establish religion and do not be divided in it’: this is
what has been prescribed and enjoined upon [those mentioned above], and
what has been revealed to Muhammad (s), and it is the affirmation of
[God’s] Oneness. Dreadful is for the idolaters that to which you summon
them, in the way of affirming the Oneness [of God]. God chooses for it,
for the [task of] affirming [His] Oneness, whomever He will, and He
guides to it whomever turns penitently, [whomever] applies himself to
obedience of Him.
