 In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
 

 "Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds!
  The compassionate, the merciful!
  King on the day of reckoning!
  Thee only do we worship, and to Thee do we cry for help. Guide Thou us on the straight path,
  The path of those to whom Thou hast been gracious; - with
whom thou art not angry, and who go not astray."

Page 34/5

     30 "...Verily above all human beings did God choose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of

 IMRAN

 the one the posterity of the other: And God Heareth, Knoweth. Remember when the wife of Imran said, 'O my Lord! I vow
to thee what is in my womb, for thy special service. Accept it from me, for thou Hearest, Knowest!' And when she had given birth to it, she said, 'O my Lord! Verily I have brought forth a female,'-God knew what she had brought forth; a male is not as a female - 'and I have named her Mary, and I take refuge with thee for her and for her offspring, from Satan the stoned.'
So with goodly acceptance did her Lord accept her, and with goodly growth did he make her grow. Zacharias reared her. So oft as Zacharias went in to Mary at the sanctuary, he found her supplied with food. 'Oh, Mary!' said he, 'whence hast thou this?' She said, 'It is from God; for God supplieth whom He will, without reckoning!'

 There did Zacharias call upon his Lord: 'O my Lord!' said he, 'vouchsafe me from thyself good descendants, for thou art the hearer of prayer.' Then did the angels call to him, as he stood praying in the sanctuary:

'God announceth John (Yahia) to thee, who shall be a verifier of the word from God, and a great one, chaste, and a prophet of the number of the just.'
He said; 'O my Lord! how shall I have a son, now that old age hath come upon me, and my wife is barren?' He said, "Thus will God do His pleasure.'
He said, 'Lord! give me a token.' He said, 'Thy token shall be, that for three days thou shalt speak to no man but by signs: But remember thy Lord often, and praise him at even and at morn:'
And remember when the angels said, 'O Mary! verily hath God chosen thee, and purified thee, and chosen thee above the women of the worlds!

O Mary! be devout towards thy Lord, and prostrate thyself, and bow down with those who bow.'
This is one of the announcements of things unseen by thee: To thee, O Muhammad! do we reveal it; for thou wast not with them when they cast lots with reeds which of them should rear Mary; nor wast thou with them when they disputed about it.
Remember when the angel said, 'O Mary! Verily God announceth to thee the Word from Him: His name shall be,
 Messiah Jesus the son of Mary, illustrious in this world, and in the next, and one of those who have near access to God;
And He shall speak to men alike when in the cradle and when grown up; And he shall be one of the just.'
She said, 'How, O my Lord! shall I have a son, when man hath not touched me?' He said, 'Thus: God will create what He will;
When He decreeth a thing, He only saith, "Be," and it is.'

Page 36
And he will teach him the Book, and the Wisdom, and the Law, and the Evangel; and he shall be an apostle to the children of Israel. 'Now have I come,' he will say, 'to you with a sign from your Lord: Out of clay will I make for you, as it were, the figure of a bird: and I will breathe into it, and it shall become, by God's leave, a bird. And I will heal the blind, and the leper; and by God's leave will I quicken the dead; and I will tell you what ye eat, and what ye store up in your houses! Truly in this will be a sign for you, if ye are believers.
And I have come to attest the law which was before me; and to allow you part of that which had been forbidden you; and I come to you with a sign from your Lord: Fear God, then, and obey me; of a truth God is my Lord, and your Lord: Therefore worship Him. This is a right way.'

And when Jesus perceived unbelief on their part  He said, 'Who will be my helpers with God?' The apostles said, 'We will be God's helpers! We believe in God, and bear thou witness that we are Muslims.
O our Lord! we believe in what thou has sent down, and we follow the apostle; write us up, then, with those who bear witness to him.'
And the Jews plotted, and God plotted: But of those who plot is God the best
Remember when God said, 'O Jesus! verily I will cause thee to die, and will take thee up to myself and deliver thee from those who believe not; and I will place those who follow thee above those who believe not, until the day of resurrection. Then, to me is your return, and wherein ye differ will I decide between you.
And as to those who believe not, I will chastise them with a terrible chastisement in this world and in the next; and none shall they have to help them.'
But as to those who believe, and do the things that are right, He will pay them their recompense. God loveth not the doers of evil.
These signs, and this wise warning do we rehearse to thee.
Verily, Jesus is as Adam in the sight of God. He created him of dust: He then said to him, 'Be' - and he was.
The truth from thy Lord! Be not thou, therefore, of those who doubt.
As for those who dispute with thee about Him, after 'the knowledge' hath come to thee, SAY: Come, let us summon / page 37 / our sons and your sons, our wives and your wives, and ourselves and yourselves. Then will we invoke and lay the malison of God on those that lie!
This recital is very truth, and there is no god but God; and verily God is the Mighty, the Wise.
But if they turn away, then verily God hath knowledge of the corrupt doers.
SAY: O people of the Book! come ye to a just judgment between us and you - That we worship not aught but God, and that we join no other god with Him, and that the one of us take not the other for lords, beside God. Then if they turn their backs, SAY: Bear ye witness that we are Muslims.
O people of the Book! Why dispute about Abraham, when the Law and the Evangel were not sent down till after him? Do ye not then understand?
Lo! ye are they who dispute about that in which ye have knowledge; but why dispute ye about that of which ye have no knowledge? God hath knowledge, but ye know nothing.
Abraham was neither Jew nor Christian; but he was sound in the faith, a Muslim; and not of those who add gods to God.
They among men, who are nearest of kin to Abraham, are surely those who follow him, and this prophet Muhammad, and they who believe on him. And God is the protector of the faithful.
A party among the people of the Book would fain mislead you: but they only mislead themselves, and perceive it not.

O people of the Book! why disbelieve the signs of God, of which yourselves have been witnesses?
O people of the Book! why clothe ye the truth with falsehood? Why wittingly hide the truth?
Others of the people of the Book say: 'Believe in what hath been sent down to the believers, at daybreak, and deny it at its close' - Thus do they go back - And believe in those only who follow your Religion.' SAY: True guidance is guidance from God - that to others may be imparted the like of what hath been imparted to you. Will they wrangle then with you in the presence of their Lord? SAY: Plenteous gifts are in the hands of God: He imparteth them unto whom He will, and God is Bounteous, Wise.
He will vouchsafe His mercy to whom He will, for God is of great bounteousness.
Page 38
Among the people of the Book are some, to one of whom if thou entrust a thousand dinars, he will restore them to thee: And there is of them to whom if thou entrust a dinar, he will not restore it to thee, unless thou be ever instant with him.
This - because they say, 'We are not bound to keep faith with the ignorant {Pagan} folk, and they utter a lie against God, and know they do so:'
But whoso is true to his engagement, and feareth God, - verily God loveth those that fear Him.
Verily they who barter their engagement with God, and their oaths, for some paltry price - These! no portion for them in the world to come! and God will not speak to them, and will not look on them, on the day of resurrection, and will not assoil them! for them, a grievous chastisement!
And some truly are there among them who torture the Scriptures with their tongues, in order that ye may suppose it to be from the Scripture, yet it is not from the Scripture. And they say, 'This is from God;' yet it is not from God: and they utter a lie against God, and they know they do so.
 It beseemeth not a man, that God should give him the Scriptures and the Wisdom, and the gift of prophecy, and that then he should say to his followers, 'Be ye worshippers of me, as well as of God; ' but rather, 'Be ye perfect in things pertaining to God, since ye know the Scriptures, and have studied deep.'
God doth not command you to take the angels or the prophets as lords. What! would he command you to become infidels after ye have been Muslims?
When God entered into covenant with the prophets, he said, 'This is the Book and the Wisdom which I give you. Hereafter shall a prophet came unto you to confirm the Scriptures already with you. Ye shall surely believe on him, and ye shall surely aid him. Are ye resolved?' said he, 'and do ye accept the covenant on these terms?' They said, 'We are resolved;' 'Be ye then the witnesses,' said he, 'and I will be a witness as well as you.
And whoever turneth back after this, these are surely the perverse.'
Other religion than that of God desire they? To him doth everything that is in the Heavens and in the Earth submit, in willing or forced obedience! and to Him do they return.
SAY: We believe in God, and in what hath been sent down to / Page 39 /  us, and what hath been sent down to Abraham, and Ismael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the Prophets, from their Lord. We make no difference between them. And to Him are we resigned (Muslims).

 "... How shall God guide a people who, after they had believed and bore witness that the apostle was true, and after that clear proofs of his mission had reached them, disbelieved? God guideth not the people who transgress.
These! their recompense, that the curse of God, and of angels, and of all men, is on them!
 Under it shall they abide for ever; their torment shall not be assuaged! nor shall God even look upon them! -
 Save those who after this repent and amend; for verily God is Gracious, Merciful!
 As for those who become infidels, after having believed,- and then increase their infidelity - their repentance shall never be accepted. These! they are the erring ones.
As for those who are infidels, and die infidels, from no one of them shall as much gold as the earth could contain be accepted, though he should offer it in ransom. These! a grievous punish- ment awaiteth them; and they shall have none to help them.
Ye shall never attain to goodness till ye give alms of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth God knoweth it.
All food was allowed to the children of Israel, except what Jacob forbad himself, ere the law was sent down; SAY: Bring ye then the law and read it, if ye be men of truth.
And whoso after this inventeth the lie about God: - These are   evil doers.
 SAY: God speaketh truth. Follow, therefore, the religion of Abraham, the sound in faith, who was not one of those who joined other gods to God.
 The first temple that was founded for mankind, was that in Becca, - Blessed, and a guidance to human beings.
 In it are evident signs, even the standing-place of Abraham: and he who entereth it is safe. And the pilgrimage to the temple, is a service due to God from those who are able to journey thither."

"...And if ye be on a journey and shall find no notary, let pledges be taken: but if one of you trust the other, let him who is trusted, restore what he is trusted with, and fear God his Lord. And refuse not to give evidence. He who refuseth is surely wicked at heart: and God knoweth your deeds. .
Whatever is in the Heavens and in the Earth is God's: and whether ye bring forth to light what is in your minds or conceal it, God will reckon with you for it; and whom He pleaseth will He forgive, and whom He pleaseth will He punish; for God is All-powerful.
The apostle believeth in that which hath been sent down from his Lord, as do the faithful also. Each one believeth in God, and His Angels, and His Books, and His Apostles: we make no distinction between any of His Apostles. And they say, 'We have heard and we obey. Thy mercy, Lord! for unto thee must we return.'
 God will not burden any soul beyond its power. It shall enjoy the good which it hath acquired, and shall bear the evil for the acquirement of which it laboured. O our Lord! punish us not if we forget, or fall into sin; O our Lord! and lay not on us a load like that which thou hast laid on those who have been before us; O our Lord! and lay not on us that for which we have not strength: but blot out our sins and forgive us, and have pity on us..".

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

"...Nearer of kin to the faithful is the Prophet, than they are to their own selves. His wives are their mothers. According to the Book of God, they who are related by blood, are nearer the one to the other than other believers, and than those who have fled their country for the cause of God: but whatever kindness ye shew to your kindred, shall be noted down in the Book.
     And remember that we have entered into covenant with the Prophets, and with thee, and with Noah, and Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus, Son of Mary: and we formed with them a strict covenant,
     That God may question the men of truth as to their truth...."

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

"When the Earth with her quaking shall quake
And the Earth shall cast forth her burdens,
And man shall say, What aileth her?
On that day shall she tell out her tidings,
Because thy Lord shall have inspired her.

On that day shall men come forward in throngs to behold their works,
     And whosoever shall have wrought an atom's weight of good shall behold it,
     And whosoever shall have wrought an atom's weight of evil shall behold it."
