The answer

The interpretation of the verse (And never will the Jews nor the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion) means that the Jews and Christians will never be pleased with you. Therefore, stop seeking their pleasure and instead seek the pleasure of Allah by inviting them to the truth with which you were sent. You have no way to please them by following their religion, because Judaism and Christianity are two opposites that cannot be combined in one person. If it is impossible to combine them within you, then you will not satisfy both parties. Therefore, adhere to Allah's guidance, which unites creation in harmony.
