In The Quran
(2:62) Surely those who acknowledge, and those who are Jewish (Arab. هَادُوا, hādū), and the Nazarenes, and those who follow other religions, any one of them who acknowledge God and the Last day, and do reform, they will have their reward with their Lord, with no fear over them, nor will they grieve.
(5:44) We have sent down the Torah, in it is guidance and a light; the prophets who have peacefully surrendered judged with it for those who are Jews (Arab. هَادُوا, hādū), as well as the Rabbis, and the Scholars, for what they were entrusted of God's book, and they were witness over it. So do not revere the people but revere Me; and do not purchase with My signs a cheap price. Whoever does not judge with what God has sent down, then these are the ingrates.
Jew's distortion
(5:82) You will find the people with greatest animosity towards those who acknowledge are the Jews (Arab. الْيَهُودَ, l-yahūda) and those who set up partners; and you will find the closest in affection to those who acknowledge are those who said, "We are Nazarenes;" that is because amongst them are monks and priests, and they are not arrogant.
(9:30) The Jews (Arab. الْيَهُودُ, l-yahūdu) said, "Ezra is God's son," and the Nazarenes said, "The Messiah is God's son." Such is their utterances with their mouths; they imitate the sayings of those who rejected before them. God's curse be on them. How deviated are they!
Is The Garden only for Jewish or Nazarenes?
(2:111) They said: "None shall enter The Garden except those who are Jewish (Arab. هُودًا, hūdan) or Nazarenes". This is what they wish! Say: "Bring forth your proof if you are truthful."
Abraham. Jew or Nazarene?
(2:135) They said, "Be Jews (Arab. هُودًا, hūdan) or Nazarenes so that you may be guided!" Say, "No, rather the creed of Abraham, monotheism; for he was not of those who set up partners."
(3:67) Abraham was neither a Jew (Arab. يَهُودِيًّا, yahūdiyyan), nor a Nazarene, but he was a monotheist who peacefully surrendered; he was not of those who set up partners.
