Surah Al-Baqara · سُوْرَةُ البَقَرَةِ · Juz 1

Q 2:137

فَإِنْ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ مَآ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ فَقَدِ ٱهْتَدَوا۟ ۖ وَّإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا هُمْ فِى شِقَاقٍ ۖ فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Translations

So if they believe in the same as you believe in, then they have been [rightly] guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension, and Allah will be sufficient for you against them. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Sahih International · EN
Alors, s'ils croient à cela même à quoi vous croyez, ils seront certainement sur la bonne voie. Et s'ils s'en détournent, ils seront certes dans le schisme! Alors Allah te suffira contre eux. Il est l'Audient, l'Omniscient.
Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

Tafsir

If the Jews and the Christians, and other disbelievers, have faith in the same way that you do, then they have been guided to the right way of life which Allah is satisfied with. Yet if they turn away from faith because they reject all the prophets or some of them, then they are in disagreement and are against you. Do not be sad, O Prophet, because Allah will protect you from their harm and evil, and give you victory over them. Allah hears all that they say, and knows all their intentions and actions.

Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
So if they believe in the like of that which you believe then they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, then they are only in opposition. So Allah will suffice for you against them. And He is the Hearer, the Knower (137)[Our Sibghah (religion) is] the Sibghah of Allah (Islam) and which Sibghah can be better than Allah's? And we are His worshippers (138) Allah said, if they, the disbelievers among the People of the Book and other disbelievers, believe in all of Allah's Books and Messengers and do not differentiate between any of them, فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوا (then they are rightly guided) meaning, they would acquire the truth and be directed to it. وَّإِن تَوَلَّوْا (but if they turn away) from truth to falsehood after proof had been presented to them, فَإِنَّمَا هُمْ فِي شِقَاقٍ فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ (then they are only in opposition. So Allah will suffice you against them) meaning, Allah will aid the believers against them, وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (And He is the Hearer, the Knower). Allah said, صِبْغَةَ اللَّهِ (The Sibghah of Allah). Ad-Dahhak said that Ibn 'Abbas commented, "The religion of Allah." This Tafsir was also reported of Mujahid, Abu Al-'Aliyah, 'Ikrimah, Ibrahim, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, 'Abdullah bin Kathir, 'Atiyah Al-'Awfi, Ar-Rabi' bin Anas, As-Suddi and other scholars. The Ayah, فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ (Allah's Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic Monotheism))(30:30) directs Muslims to, "Hold to it."
