هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُۥ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِۦ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ
Huwa alla th ee arsala rasoolahu bi a lhud a wadeeni al h aqqi liyu th hirahu AAal a a l ddeeni kullihi walaw kariha almushrikoon a
He it is who has sent forth His Apostle with the [task of spreading] guidance and the religion of truth, to the end that He may cause it to prevail over all [false] religion50 - however hateful this may be to those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God.
  - Mohammad Asad

Cf. 3:19 - "the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him". See also {61: 8-9}.

It is He Who has sent His Rasool with guidance and true Deen (faith) to make it prevail over all other deens (faiths) even though the mushrikin may hate it.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with 'true' guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists.
  - Mustafa Khattab
He it is who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
It is He who hath sent His apostle with guidance and religion of truth to proclaim it over all religions even though the pagans may detest (it). 1290
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Every religion which commends itself widely to human beings and lasts through some space of time has a glimpse of Truth in it. But Islam being the perfect light of Truth is bound to prevail. As the greater Light, through its own strength, outshines all lesser lights, so will Islam outshine all else, in spite of the displeasure of those to whom light is an offence. See also xlviii. 28, n. 4912, and lxi. 9, n. 5442.
