“
For he commands you what is evil and shameful, and that ye should say of Allah that of which ye have no knowledge.
“
O ye people! Eat of what is on earth, Lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of the evil one, for he is to you an avowed enemy.
“
And those who followed would say: "If only We had one more chance, We would clear ourselves of them, as they have cleared themselves of us." Thus will Allah show them (The fruits of) their deeds as (nothing but) regrets. Nor will there be a way for them out of the Fire.
“
Then would those who are followed clear themselves of those who follow (them) : They would see the penalty, and all relations between them would be cut off.
“
Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal (with Allah): They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold, they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and Allah will strongly enforce the penalty.
“
Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise.
“
And your Allah is One Allah: There is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
“
They will abide therein: Their penalty will not be lightened, nor will respite be their (lot).
“
Those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- on them is Allah's curse, and the curse of angels, and of all mankind;
“
Except those who repent and make amends and openly declare (the Truth): To them I turn; for I am Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
“
Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent down, and the Guidance, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book,-on them shall be Allah's curse, and the curse of those entitled to curse,-
“
Behold! Safa and Marwa are among the Symbols of Allah. So if those who visit the House in the Season or at other times, should compass them round, it is no sin in them. And if any one obeyeth his own impulse to good,- be sure that Allah is He Who recogniseth and knoweth.
“
They are those on whom (Descend) blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.
“
Who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return":-
“
Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere,
“
And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not.
“
O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.
“
Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith.
“
A similar (favour have ye already received) in that We have sent among you a Messenger of your own, rehearsing to you Our Signs, and sanctifying you, and instructing you in Scripture and Wisdom, and in new knowledge.
“
So from whencesoever Thou startest forth, turn Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque; and wheresoever ye are, Turn your face thither: that there be no ground of dispute against you among the people, except those of them that are bent on wickedness; so fear them not, but fear Me; and that I may complete My favours on you, and ye May (consent to) be guided;
