وَإِذَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مُسْلِمِينَ
Wai tha yutl a AAalayhim q a loo a mann a bihi innahu al h aqqu min rabbin a inn a kunn a min qablihi muslimeen a
and whenever it is [clearly] conveyed unto them, they [are bound to] profess, "We have come to believe in it, for, behold, it is the truth from our Sustainer - and, verily, even before this have we surrendered ourselves unto Him!"
  - Mohammad Asad
When it is recited to them they say: "We believe in it, surely this is the Truth from our Rabb: indeed we were Muslims even before this."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
When it is recited to them, they declare, 'We believe in it. This is definitely the truth from our Lord. We had already submitted1 'even' before this.'
  - Mustafa Khattab

 lit., ‘We had already been Muslims.’

And when it is recited unto them, they say: We believe in it. Lo! it is the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it we were of those who surrender (unto Him).
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And when it is recited to them they say: "We believe therein for it is the Truth from our Lord: indeed we have been Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will) from before this." 3385
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

There were Christians and Jews who recognised that Islam was a logical and natural development of Allah's revelations as given in earlier ages, and they not only welcomed and accepted Islam, but claimed, and rightly, that they had always been Muslims. In that sense Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus had all been Muslims.
