And do not marry polytheist women until they become Muslims ; for undoubtedly a Muslim bondwoman is better than a polytheist woman , although you may like her ; and do not give your women in marriage to polytheist men until they accept faith ; for undoubtedly a Muslim slave is better than a polytheist , although you may like him ; they invite you towards the fire ; and Allah invites towards Paradise and forgiveness by His command ; and explains His verses to mankind so that they may accept guidance .
