Muhammad, Prophet, -632 -- Teachings; Religious life -- Islam
On a day we will summon all men with their scripture: then whoso is
given his book into his right hand,--these shall read their book
and not be wronged a whit.
And he who has been blind in this life shall be blind in the life
to come, and miss the road yet more.
And verily they had well-nigh tempted thee from what we revealed to
thee, to forge against us something false; and then they would
have taken thee to friend;
And had we not prevented thee, thou hadst well-nigh inclined to
them a little:
In that case we would have made thee to taste of torment double in
life and double in death, then should’st thou find for thyself no
helper against us.
And they well-nigh frightened thee from the land, to drive thee out
of it; but if they had, they should only have tarried a little
while behind thee.
[This was our] custom with our apostles whom we sent before thee,
and thou shalt find no changing in our custom.
Perform prayer from the setting of the sun till the fall of night,
and the recital at dawn,--verily the recital at dawn is witnessed:
And watch thou part of the night as a voluntary service; it may be
that thy Lord will raise thee to a place of praise:
And say: O my Lord, cause me to enter with a right entry, and to
come forth with a right forthcoming, and grant me from thyself a
power of defence.
And say: Truth is come and falsehood is fled away: verily falsehood
is a fleeting thing.
