أَمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ إِبْرَهِيمَ وَإِسْمَعِيلَ وَإِسْحَقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَاُلَأِسْبَطَ كَانُواْ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَرَى = "Am Ta-qu~lu~na In~na Ibb-ro~hi~ma Wa Is-ma~'i~la Wa Is-ha~qo Wa Yaa-qu~ba Wal-As-ba~to Hu~dan Aw Na-sho~ro~".  "Am" = Or, "Ta-qu~lu~na" = you (pl.) say, "An~na" = that, "Ibb-ro~hi~ma" = Abraham, "Wa Is-ma~'i~la" = and Ishmael, "Wa Is-ha~qo" = and Isaac, "Wa Yaa-qu~ba" = and Jacob, Wa al-As-ba~to" = the tribes/grandsons, "Ka~nu" = were, "Hu~dan" = Jews, "Aw" = or, "Na-sho~ro~" = Christians.

(Allah repudiates their/the Jews' and the Christians' admissions that Prophets Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the grandsons embraced Jewish or Christian Faiths. Allah says, "Do you, Jews and Christians know better than Allah?" It was Allah who bestowed the Prophets their Prophetics and be His/Allah's Messengers, while the Jews and the Christians then were not existed. And they were more wicked when they hid the truth which they read a testimony in their Scriptures revealed by Allah/Yahweh. Allah/Yahweh is not unaware of what they do.).
(141)تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ صلى لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ صلى وَلَا تُسْئَلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ

(The Jews and the Christians should not have mentioned about the people of the past, that is, Prophets Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, they had gained what they strived for. and the Jews and the Christians will earn the same. And they will not be accountable for what others did, but will be accountable for they had done.).
