do not marry idolatresses unless they have believed. a believing maid is better than an idolatress even if you like her. and do not marry idolaters unless they have believed. a believing servant is better than an idolater even if you like him. these call to the fire but god calls to the garden and to forgiveness by his leave. he makes clear his communications to the people that they may be mindful.
ولا تنكحوا المشركات حتى يؤمن ولأمة مؤمنة خير من مشركة ولو أعجبتكم ولا تنكحوا المشركين حتى يؤمنوا ولعبد مؤمن خير من مشرك ولو أعجبكم أولئك يدعون إلى النار والله يدعو إلى الجنة والمغفرة بإذنه ويبين آياته للناس لعلهم يتذكرون
