在以后的阿拉伯文学中萨比教徒 صَابِئِيْن (Sabians) 一词也可指北欧人 (Enc. of Islam)。
这一节以及2:63与5:70等节经文说明基督教徒、犹太教徒与萨比教徒不能和真正的 (伊斯兰教) 信者一样得到拯救。«古兰经» 并不支持对上述其他宗教的信仰。据此, 安拉所推崇的唯一宗教就是伊斯兰教 (3:20, 86)。这节经文中制定了一条用来检验各种宗教真伪的准则, 它认为其他教派都是不正确的。其准则是: 在各种宗教中, 正确的宗教将在 “作决定的审判日” 战胜其他各种宗教。或则, 这节经文的意思可以是说, 一个人的错误信仰并不一定在此生就受到惩罚。问题将在赏罚日得到解决。
In later Arabic literature, the word has been also used to denote the people of northern Europe (Enc. of Islam).
This verse and vv. 2:63 and 5:70 do not signify that Christians, Jews and Sabians are equally eligible to salvation along with true believers. The Qur’an does not support any such belief. According to it the only religion acceptable to God is Islam (3:20, 86). The present verse only lays down a criterion to test the truth of all the different religions and not that it regards all of them as true. The implied criterion is, that of all religions the true one will prevail over others in the "Hour of Decision." Or, the verse may mean that false beliefs of a person constitute no reason that he should be punished in this life. That matter will be decided on the Day of Judgment.
Important Words:
المجوس (Magians) is derived from مجس (majjasa). They say مجسه i.e. he made him a Magian. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said,
ما من مولود الا یولد علی الفطرة فأبواہ یھودانه و ینصرانه و یمجسانه
i.e." Every child is born on the true Islamic nature but his parents make him a Jew, Christian or Magian" (Bukhari, Kitabul-Jana’iz & Muslim). المجوس (Magians) are a people who worship the sun and the fire; sometimes the word مجوسی is used for a magician or a philosopher. It applies particularly to the Zoroastrians whose sacred Book is Zend-Avesta. In later Arabic literature, the word is also used to denote the people of northern Europe (Aqrab & Enc. of Islam).
Commentary:
The present verse read in conjunction with 2:63 and 5:70, clears the misunderstanding to which these two verses are mistakenly understood to give rise. These verses do not bear the construction put upon them by some Christian writers, viz. that Christians, Jews and Sabians are equally eligible to salvation along with true believers. The Quran lends support to no such belief. According to it the only religion acceptable to God is Islam (3:20, 86). The present verse lays down only a criterion to test the truth of all these religions and not that it regards all of them as true. The implied criterion is that of all these religions the true one will prevail over others in the "Hour of Decision."

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
حَنِیْف کے معنے ہوتے ہیں جس میں کوئی کجی نہ ہو۔
یعنی جس فطرت کے مطابق اللہ تعالیٰ نے انسان کو پیدا کیا ہے وہ ہمیشہ قائم رہے گی اور اس کو کوئی انسان بدل نہیں سکتا۔

God is One and humanity is one. This is Fitratullah or Dinul-Fitrah—the religion which is rooted in the nature of man and to which he conforms and instinctively reacts. It is in this religion that a child is born, but his environments, the ideas and beliefs of his parents and the training he receives from them subsequently make him a Jew, a Magian or a Christian (Bukhari).

Commentary:
This verse continues the theme of v. 29 above, the theme, briefly, of the Almightiness and Unity of God, and, by implication, of the oneness of all humanity. The fact, that God is One and all humanity, too, is one, has been called فطرة اللّٰه(nature given by God) or دین الفطرة i.e. the religion which is rooted in the pure and unsullied nature of man. This in other words is Islam and to it has the Holy Prophet referred in his well-known saying… کل مولود یولد علی فطرة الاسلام i.e. every child is born with an unsullied and pure nature, which is دین الفطرة i.e. the religion to which pure human nature conforms and instinctively reacts. It is in this religion that a child is born, but it is his environments, the ideas and beliefs of his parents and the training he receives from them that subsequently make him a Jew, a Magian or a Christian (Bukhari).
The words, "There is no altering the creation of Allah," mean that true religion is rooted in the very nature of man. False beliefs are the result of the influences of environment. Once those vicious extraneous influences are removed, he at once reacts to it and hastens to accept it.
