The Holy Quran 5:68 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

قُلْ يَـٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَسْتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ وَٱلْإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۗ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغْيَـٰنًا وَكُفْرًا ۖ فَلَا تَأْسَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Translation

Say, "O People of the Book, you are not on anything (not following any proper religion or path) until you establish the (injunctions of the) Torah, the Injeel and whatever has been revealed to you by your Rabb (included in these injunctions is following Rasulullaah ﷺ)." Verily that which has been revealed to you (O Muhammad ﷺ) from your Rabb shall be a cause for increasing the defiance (sinful acts) and kufr of many of them. So do not grieve (do not be sorrowful or lose hope) over the nation of Kaafiroon (when they do not accept your teachings).

That is, do not become distressed at heart by falling into this grief and sorrow; keep fulfilling your duty in peace and tranquillity.
