If they be driven forth, these will not go forth with them; and if they be fought against, these will not help them; or if they do help them, they will turn their backs in flight ;—then shall they not be helped ! Ye indeed are a keener source of fear in their hearts than God; that is because they are a people who do not understand! They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified cities, or from behind walls; their valour is great amongst themselves ;— thou dost reckon them as one body, but their hearts are separated. That is because they are a people who have no sense! [15] Like unto those before them, recently!; they tasted the evil result of their affair, and for them is grievous woe. Like unto the devil when he said to man, ‘ Disbelieve.’ But when he disbelieved, he said, ‘Verily, I am clear of thee! Verily, I fear God the Lord of the worlds!’ And the end of them both shall be that they shall both be in the Fire, to dwell therein for aye! for that is the reward of the unjust ! O ye who believe! fear God; and let each soul look to what it sends on for the. morrow; and fear God; verily, God is well aware of what ye do! And be ye not like those who forget God, and He makes them forget themselves; they are the workers of abomination !

Had we sent down this Qur’4n upon a mountain, thou wouldst have seen it humbling itself, splitting asunder from the fear of God! These parables do we strike out for men ; haply they may reflect ! He is God than whom there is no god; who knows the unseen and the visible; He is the merciful, the compassionate! He is God than whom there is no god; the King, the Holy, the Peace-Giver, the Faithful, the Protector, the Mighty, the Repairer, the Great !—celebrated be the praises of God above what they join with Him. He is God, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner ; His are the excellent names’! His praises, whatever are in the heavens and the earth do celebrate; for God is the mighty, the wise !

In the name of the merciful and compassionate God. | O ye who believe! take not my enemy and your enemy for patrons, encountering them with love; for they misbelieve in the truth that is to come to you; they drive out the Apostle and you for that ye believe in God your Lord?! 1 See Introduction, p.

If ye go forth fighting strenuously in my cause and craving my good pleasure, and secretly show love for them, yet do I know best what ye conceal and what ye display! and he of you who does so has erred from the level path. If they find you they will be enemies to you, and they will stretch forth against you their hands and their tongues for evil, and would fain that ye should disbelieve ; neither your kindred nor your children shall profit you upon the resurrection day; it will separate you! but God on what ye do doth look ! Ye had a good example in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Verily, we are clear of you and of what ye serve beside God. We disbelieve in you: and between us and you is enmity and hatred begun for ever, until ye believe in God alone!’ But not! the speech of Abraham to his father, ‘Verily, I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I cannot control aught from God!’ O our Lord! on thee do we rely! and unto thee we turn! and unto thee the journey is! [5] Our Lord! make us not a trial for those who misbelieve ; but forgive us! Our Lord! verily, thou art mighty, wise ! Ye had in them a good example for him who intended surprise by Mohammed, and on his letter being intercepted, excused himself by saying that he had only done so in order to make terms for his family, who were at Mecca, and that he knew that the information would be of no avail. Mohammed pardoned him, but the verse in the text prohibits such conduct for the future. 1 Ie. they are not to imitate Abraham’s speech to his father, and ask forgiveness for their infidel friends.

Mayhap that God will place love between you and between those of them ye are hostile towards?: for God is powerful, and God is forgiving, compassionate. . God forbids you not respecting those who have not fought against you for religion’s sake, and who have not driven you forth from your homes, that ye should act righteously and justly towards them ; verily, God loves the just ! He only forbids you to make patrons of those who have fought against you for religion’s sake, and driven you forth from your homes, or have aided in your expulsion; and whoever makes patrons of them, they. are the unjust!

And do not ye retain a right over misbelieving women; but ask for what ye "have spent, and let them ask for what they have spent.
