And thy Lord knoweth well what their breasts enshroud, and what they bring to light,

And there is no secret thing in the Heaven or on the Earth, but it is in the clear Book.

Truly this Koran declareth to the children of Israel most things wherein they disagree: 

And it is certainly guidance and a mercy to the faithful.

Verily, by his wisdom will thy Lord decide between them:  for He is the
Mighty, the Knowing.

Put thou then thy trust in God:  for thou hast clear truth on thy side.13

Thou shalt not make the dead to hear; neither shalt thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they turn away backward;

Neither art thou the guide of the blind out of their errors:  none truly shalt thou make to hear but those who believe our signs:  and they are Muslims.

When the doom shall be ready to light upon them, we will cause a monster14 to come forth to them out of the earth, and cry to them “Verily men have not firmly believed our signs.”

And on that day shall be gathered out of every nation a company of those who have gainsaid our signs, in separate bands;

Till they come before God, who will say, “Treated ye my signs as impostures, although ye embraced them not in your knowledge? or what is it that ye were doing?

And doom shall light upon them for their evil deeds, and nought shall they have to plead.

See they not that we have ordained the night that they may rest in it, and the day with its gift of light?  Of a truth herein are signs to people who believe.

On that day there shall be a blast on the trumpet, and all that are in the heavens, and all that the on the earth shall be terror-stricken, save him whom God pleaseth to deliver; and all shall come to him in humble guise.

And thou shalt see the mountains, which thou thinkest so firm, pass away with the passing of a cloud!  ’Tis the work of God, who ordereth all things! of all that ye do is He well aware.

To him who shall present himself with good works, shall be a reward beyond their desert,15 and they shall be secure from the terror on that day;

And they who shall present themselves with evil shall be flung downward on their faces into the fire.  Shall ye be rewarded but as ye have wrought?

Say:  Specially am I commanded to worship the Lord of this land, which He hath sanctified.  All things are His:  and I am commanded to be one of those who surrender them to God (a Muslim)

And to recite the Koran:  and whoever is rightly guided, assuredly will be rightly guided to his own behoof.

And as to him who erreth, say, I truly am a warner only.And say, Praise be to God!  He will shew you His signs, and ye shall acknowledge them:  and of what ye do, thy Lord is not regardless.
