Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve1.

And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."

قَالُوا۟ They said qālū Pray ud'ʿu for us lanā (to) your Lord rabbaka to make clear yubayyin to us lanā what mā (is) its color lawnuhā He said qāla Indeed, He innahu says yaqūlu '[Indeed] it is innahā a cow baqaratun yellow ṣafrāu bright fāqiʿun (in) its color lawnuhā pleasing tasurru (to) those who see (it).' l-nāẓirīna
They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us what is her color." He said, "He says, 'It is a yellow cow, bright in color - pleasing to the observers.'"
