And do not marry idolatrous women until they become Muslims. Indeed a Muslim slave-girl is better than a (free) idolatress, however pleasing she may seem to you. Nor give (the Muslim women) in marriage to idolaters till they embrace Islam. And certainly a Muslim slave is better than an idolater, even though he should please you. These (idolaters and disbelievers) call you to Hell while Allah invites, by His Decree, to Paradise and Forgiveness and explains His Verses clearly to people so that they may take direction and guidance.
