Quote:
{3:18} God witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
I suggest,
{3:18} God testifies that there is no god but He, and [so do] the angels and those with knowledge, in charge of equity. There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise.Quote:
{3:19} Indeed, the religion in the sight of God is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of God, then indeed, God is swift in [taking] account.
As we mentioned before,
آيات means "signs", not verses.
