وَلَن تَرْضَىٰ عَنكَ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَلَا ٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ ۖ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَ ٱلَّذِى جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ
This Ayat addresses the Prophet Muhammad and, by extension, the Muslim community. It emphasizes that adhering to the guidance of Allah is the only true path, and warns against succumbing to the pressures or desires of other religious communities. The verse underscores the importance of steadfastness in faith and the pursuit of divine guidance, rather than seeking approval or acceptance from others.
Al Baqarah 120 English Translation:
“Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith. Say, ‘Allah’s guidance is the only ˹true˺ guidance.’ And if you were to follow their desires after all the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah.”
For a deeper understanding of the Islamic faith and practice, I recommend reading the Surah Al Baqarah Translation. You can also find Quran translations of all the other surahs online.
