1Exhortation to the Muslims to march forth to battle. Allusions to the escape of Mohammed and Abu Bekr from Mecca and their concealment in a cave. Rebuke to those who seek to be excused from fighting, 1 See Introduction, p, xxxiv. OF THE QuR’AN. Ixxxix and to those who sought to excite sedition in the Muslim ranks. Reproof to the hypocrites and half-hearted and to those who found fault with the prophet for his use of the alms (zakat). Proper destination of the alms. Hypocrites and renegades denounced : they are warned by the example of the people of old, who rejected the prophets. Rewards promised to the true believers. Continued denunciation of the hypocrites and of those who held back from the fight. Mohammed is not to pray at the grave of any one of them who dies: their seeming prosperity is not to deceive him. Happiness in store for the Apostle, the believers, and the Muhagerin. Those who may lawfully be excused military service. The desert Arabs are among the worst of the ‘hypocrites ;’ though some believe. Some people of Medinah also denounced as hypocrites: others have sinned, but confessed: others wait for God’s pleasure. Denunciation of some who had set up a mosque from motives of political opposition. Mohammed is not to sanction this mosque, but rather to use that of Quba’, founded by him while on his way from Mecca to Medinah during the Flight. God has bought the persons and wealth of the believers at the price of Paradise. The prophet and the believers must not ask forgiveness for the idolaters however near of kin. Abraham only asked pardon for his idolatrous father in fulfilment of a.promise. The three Ansars who refused to accompany Mohammed to Tabfk are forgiven. The people of Medinah and the neighbouring Arabs blamed for holding back on the occasion. All sacrifices for the sake of the religion are counted to them. Exhortation to fight rigorously against the infidels. Reproof to those who receive the revelation suspiciously. God will stand by His Apostle. X. Tue Cuaprer or Jonan. (Mecca.) No wonder that the Qur’an was revealed to a mere man. Misbelievers deem him a sorcerer. God the creator and ruler: no one can intercede with Him except by His permission. Creation is a sign of His power. Reward hereafter for the believers. Man calls on God in distress, but forgets Him when deliverance comes. Warning from the fall of former generations. The infidels are not satisfied with the Qur'an: Mohammed dare not invent a false revelation. False gods can neither harm nor profit them. People require a sign.

2False gods can neither harm nor profit them. People require a sign. God saves people in dangers by land and sea. This life is like grass. Promise of Paradise and threat of Hell. XC ABSTRACT OF THE CONTENTS Fate of the idolaters and false gods at the last day. God the Lord of all. Other religions are mere conjecture. The Qur’an could only have been devised by God. The Meccans are challenged to produce a single sftrah like it. Unbelievers warned of the last day by the fate of previous nations. Reproval of those who prohibit lawful things. God is ever watchful over the prophet’s actions. Happiness of the believers: the infidels cannot harm the prophet. Refutation of those who ascribe offspring to God. . Mohammed encouraged by the story of Noah and the other prophets of old. Fate of Pharaoh and vindication of Moses and Aaron. The People of the Book (Jews and Christians) appealed to in confirmation of the truth of the Qur’an. The story of Jonas. The people of Nineveh saved, by repenting and believing in time. The people are exhorted to embrace Isl4m, the faith of the ‘Hanif. God alone is powerful. Belief-or unbelief affect only the individual himself. Resignation and patience inculcated. XI. Tue Cuaprer or Hip. (Mecca.) The Qur'an a book calling men to believe in the unity of God: nothing is hidden from Him: He is the creator of all. Men will not believe, and deem themselves secure because their punishment is deferred. They demand a sign, or say the Qur’4n is invented by the prophet; but they and their false gods together cannot bring ten such sfirahs. Misbelievers threatened -with future punishment, while believers are promised Paradise. Noah was likewise sent, but his people objected that he ‘was a mere mortal like themselves and only followed by the meaner sort of men. He also is accused of having invented his revelation: he is saved in the ark and the unbelievers drowned: he endeavours to save his son. The ark settles on Mount Gfdi. ‘Hd was sent to ‘Ad: his people plotted against him and -were destroyed, while he was saved. ZAlith was sent to Thamfid: the she-camel given for a sign. The people hamstring her and perish. Abraham entertains the angels who are sent to the people of Lot: he pleads for them. Lot offers his daughters to the people of Sodom, to spare the angels: he escapes by night, and Sodom is destroyed. Sho’haib is sent to Midian; and-his people, rejecting his mission, perish too. Moses sent to Pharaoh, who shall be punished at the resurrection. The Meccans too shall be punished: they are threatened with the judgment day, when they shall be sent to hell, while the believers OF THE QUR'AN. xci are in Paradise. The Meccans are bidden to take warning by the fate of the cities whose stories are related above. These stories are intended to strengthen the prophet’s heart: he is bidden to wait and leave the issue to God. XII. Tue Cuarrer or Joserx. (Mecca.)

The Qur’n revealed in Arabic that the Meccans may understand: it contains the best of stories. Story of Joseph: he tells his father his dream: Jacob advises him to keep it to himself. Jealousy of Joseph’s brethren: they conspire to throw him in a pit: induce his father to let him -go with them: they cast. him in the pit, and bring home his shirt covered with ‘lying blood.’ Travellers discover him and sell him into Egypt : he is adopted by his master: his mistress endeavours to seduce him: his innocence proved. His mistress shows him to the women of the city to excuse her conduct: their amazement at his beauty. He is imprisoned: interprets the dreams of the baker and the cupbearer. Pharaoh’s dream: Joseph is sent for to expound it. He is appointed to a situation of trust in the land. His brethren arrive and do not recognise him: they ask for corn and he requires them to bring their youngest brother as the condition of his giving it to them. The goods they had brought to barter are returned to their sacks. Benjamins sent back. Joseph ‘discovers himself to him. Joseph places ‘the ‘king’s drinking cup in his brother’s pack: accuses them all of the theft: takes Benjamin as a bondsman for the theft.
