Islam

Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?

Then praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, the Lord of the Worlds.

Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal.

Confound not truth with falsehood, nor knowingly conceal the truth.

O People of the Scripture! Why confound ye truth with falsehood and knowingly conceal the truth?

And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.

And when it is said unto them: believe as the people believe, they say: shall we believe as the foolish believe? are not they indeed the foolish? But they know not.

What aileth you that ye believe not in Allah, when the messenger calleth you to believe in your Lord, and He hath already made a covenant with you, if ye are believers?

And say: We (now) believe therein. But how can they reach (faith) from afar off,

Hast thou not seen that unto Allah payeth adoration whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the hills, and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind, while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due. He whom Allah scorneth, there is none to give him honour. Lo! Allah doeth what He will.

Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins,

And if thou wert to ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, and constrained the sun and the moon (to their appointed work)? they would say: Allah. How then are they turned away?

He said: My Lord! Have mercy on me and on my brother; bring us into Thy mercy, Thou the Most Merciful of all who show mercy.

Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, and that Allah is Clement, Merciful, (ye had been undone).

Degrees of rank from Him, and forgiveness and mercy. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

And of them is he who made a covenant with Allah (saying): If He give us of His bounty we will give alms and become of the righteous.

That is the bounty of Allah; which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is of Infinite Bounty.

That the People of the Scripture may know that they control naught of the bounty of Allah, but that the bounty is in Allah's hand to give to whom He will. And Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
