The argument proceeds on, now referring to the hot dispute and controversies raised by the people of the scriptures. God says to His messenger: ``If they argue with you tell them; I have surrendered myself to Allah and so have those who follow me.'' Accordingly, the prophet had to stop their arguments and give an end to the useless disputes of the people of the BOOK by saying to them; I have submitted my whole self to Allah, and so have done, and so must do, those who follow me. You too, if submit to the will of God, you are rightly guided. But if you turn in rebellion, then, my duty is only to convey God's Message, and your guidance and acceptance is none of my bussiness. This verse implies that the way and method of the prophet was not to impose his ideas on others by force majeure and compelling. He would do his best to teach them and make a matter known to them, then he would leave them to think it over and take their decision.
