P:  And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command.  Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith.  But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen.  And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path,

S:  And thus did We reveal to you an inspired book by Our command.  You did not know what the Book was, nor (what) the faith (was), but We made it a light, guiding thereby whom We please of Our servants; and most surely you show the way to the right path: 

042.053 Y:  The Way of Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth.  Behold (how) all affairs tend towards Allah!

P:  The path of Allah, unto Whom belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth.  Do not all things reach Allah at last?

S:  The path of Allah, Whose is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; now surely to Allah do all affairs eventually come.
