يَٓا اَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا تَغْلُوا ف۪ي د۪ينِكُمْ وَلَا تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّۜ اِنَّمَا الْمَس۪يحُ ع۪يسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۚ اَلْقٰيهَٓا اِلٰى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُۘ فَاٰمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِه۪ۚ وَلَا تَقُولُوا ثَلٰثَةٌۜ اِنْتَهُوا خَيْرًا لَكُمْۜ اِنَّمَا اللّٰهُ اِلٰهٌ وَاحِدٌۜ سُبْحَانَهُٓ اَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَلَدٌۢ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَك۪يلًا۟ ١٧١

English Translation
171O People of the Book, do not go to extremes in your faith. Say nothing about Allah but the right/the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, is only Allah's messenger, His word that He conveyed to Mary, and a message from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, "God is three." Give this up, for your own good. Allah is only one God; He is exalted and far above having a child. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth belongs to Him. For Allah is sufficient as Trustee over all things.
