Quranic Quote of the Week #7: True Religion

“True Religion, in God’s eyes, is islam: devotion to Him alone. … Ask those who were given the Scripture, as well as those without one, ‘Do you too devote yourselves to Him alone?’ If they do, they will be guided, but if they turn away, your only duty is to convey the message.” (Quran, 3:19–20)
