Many of the People of the Book wish through their
envy to lead you back to unbelief now that you have
embraced faith and the truth has become manifest to
them. Forgive and be indulgent towards them until
Allah makes known his will.
(al-Baqara) 2:109
And argue not with the People of the Book unless
it be in a way that is better. . . , and say “We believe
in that which has been revealed unto us and
revealed unto you; our God and your God is one,
and we surrender unto him. (al-’Ankabût) 29:46
