And We have sent thee (O Muhammad) only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner

Say: I ask of you no reward for this, save that whoso will may choose a way unto his Lord

And trust thou in the Living One Who dieth not, and hymn His praise. He sufficeth as the Knower of His bondmen's sins

Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six Days, then He mounted the Throne. The Beneficent! Ask anyone informed concerning Him

And when it is said unto them: Prostrate to the Beneficent! they say: And what is the Beneficent? Are we to prostrate to whatever thou (Muhammad) biddest us? And it increaseth aversion in them

Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light

And He it is Who hath appointed night and day in succession, for him who desireth to remember, or desireth thankfulness

The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth modestly, and when the foolish ones address them answer: Peace

And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing

And who say: Our Lord! Avert from us the doom of hell; lo! the doom thereof is anguish

Lo! it is wretched as abode and station

And those who, when they spend, are neither prodigal nor grudging; and there is ever a firm station between the two
