†If there be any [debtor] under a difficulty [of paying his debt], let [his creditor] wait until it be easy: but if ye remit it as alms, it will be better for you. (ii. 280.)[171] _BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS._ LXXVI. †Dispute not with the people of the Scripture[172] unless in the kindliest[173] manner, except against such of them as deal evilly [with you]; and say [unto them], We believe in that which hath been sent down unto us and [that which] hath been sent down unto you, and our God and your God is one, and to Him are we self-surrendered.[174] (xxix. 45.) LXXVII. Verily those who have believed,[175] and those who have become Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whosoever hath believed in God and the Last Day, and hath done that which is right,—they shall have their reward with their Lord, and _there shall come_ no fear upon them, neither shall they grieve. (ii. 59.)[176] LXVIII. Whoso desireth any other religion than El-Islám, it shall not be accepted of him, and in the world to come he [shall be] of those that perish. (iii. 79.) LXXIX. The likeness of those who have disbelieved[177] is as the likeness of him who crieth out to that which heareth not [aught] save a calling and a voice. _They are_ deaf, dumb, blind: therefore they do not understand. (ii. 166.) LXXX. [As to] the unbelievers, their works are like a vapour[178] in a plain, which the thirsty imagineth to be water, until when he cometh to it he findeth it not aught:[179] (but he findeth God there, and He fully payeth him his account: and God is swift in reckoning:) Or, like darknesses in a deep sea, covered by waves over waves,—over them clouds,—darknesses one over another: when [one] putteth forth his hand he is not nearly able to see it. And unto whomsoever God giveth not light, he hath no light. (xxiv. 39, 40.) LXXXI. Propound unto them as a parable two men, on one of whom[180] We bestowed two gardens of grape-vines, and We surrounded them with palm-trees, and put corn between them; each of the gardens brought forth its fruit, and failed not thereof at all; And We caused a river to flow between them; and he had abundance. And he said unto his companion, disputing with him, ‘I am greater than thou in wealth and more mighty in family.’ And he entered his garden, being unjust to his own soul.[181] He said, ‘I do not think that this will ever perish, And I do not think that the [Last] Hour will come; and if I should be taken back unto my Lord, I shall assuredly find a better [garden] than it in return.’ His companion said unto him, disputing with him, ‘Dost thou disbelieve in Him who created thee of dust, then completely fashioned thee into a man? God is my Lord, and I will not associate any one with my Lord.
