Thy Lord bath not iorsaken thee, neither hath he

And surely the Future shall be better 10, thee than

And in the end shall thy Lord be bounteous to thee

And found thee erring an! guided thee,
And found thee needy and enriched Thee
As u the orphan therefore wrong him not
And as TO him that asketh Of thee, chide him not

Aud as for the iayors of thy Lord tell them abroad
Say o, ye Unbelieyers

And ye 40 NOT worship that which worship;

Neither vii We 5rship that which I worship.
To you be Your religion; TO me my religion.

By the Day when it brightly shineth
BY Him Wno made male and female,
Al different ends truly do We aim
But as 10 Him who giveth aims and feareth God,
And yielded assent to the Good,
To Him will We make easy the path to happiness.
But u him who is eovetous and bent on riches,
And caileth the Good lie,
To him viii we make easy the path 70 misery
And what shall his wealth avail him when he goeth
down.
Truly mans guidance is with U.s.
And ours the Future and the Past
| warn you, therefore. OF the flaming Ere,
None shall, be cast 70 II but the most wretched-
Who hath called the truth lie and turned his
back
But the God.fearing shall escape it
Who giyeth away his substance that he may become
pure
And who ereth not fayors TO any one for the sake
Of rccompeHSs,
But only as seeking the face of his Lord the Most
High.
And surely in the end he shall be we'll content.
Praise the namSof the Lord, the Most High,
VINO hath created and balanced all things,
Who hath fixed their destinies and guideth them,
Who briugeth forth the pasture,
And reduceth 1t TO dusky stubble
We will teach thee TO recte the Koran nor aught
shalt thou forget,
Save what God pleaseth; for he Luoweth alike
things manifest and hidden;
= And We will make easy to thee our easy ways.
Warn, therefore, FOR the warning is profitable:
lie that feareth God will receive the warning
And the reprobate only will aside from it.
Who shall be exposed 10 the terrible fire,
In which he shall not die, ana shall not live.
Happy he who IL punished by Is,am,
Aud VINO remembereth the OF his Lord and
But We prefer this present life,
Though the life to come is better and more en-
during.
This truly ia in the Books Of old,
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
When the Heaven shall have split asunder
And duteously obeyed its Lord
And when Earth shall have been stretched out as a
plain,
And shall have cast forth what vas in her and be-
come empty,
And duteously obeYed its Lord
Then verify, . man, who desireth to reach thy
Lord, shalt thou meet Him.
And he into whose right hand his Book shall be
given,
Shall be reekoned within an easy reckoning,
And shall turn, rejoicing, TO his kindred
But he whose Book shall be given him from behind
his back
Shall invoke destruction
But in the IRE shall burn
For that he lived joyousy among his kindred,
without thought that he should return TO God,
Yea, but his Lord beheld him.
II needs not, therefore, that swear by the sunset
redness,
And by the night and its gatherings
And by the moon when n her full,
That from state to state shall we be surely carried
onward
What then, bath come to them that they believe
notZ
And that when the Koran is reeited to them, they
adore uotE
Yea, the unbelievers treat it as q lie
But God knoweIh their secret hatreds;
Let their only tdings be those Of painful punish
ment;
Save to those who believe and do the things that be
right,
An 1nfaiEug recompense shall be theirs.
BY the star sp tBged Heaven
BY the promised raw
BY the witness and the witnesseth
Cursed the master Of the trench
OF the fuel fed fire,
When they sat around IL,
Witnesses of what they inflicted on the unbeevers
Nor did they torment them but for their fathers
God the Mighty, the Praisegorthy;
His the kingdom OF the Heavens and Of the Earth /;
and God is the witness of everything.
Verify, those who YeXed the believers, men and
women, and repenteth not, doth the torment of
Hell and the torment OF the burning await
But for those who shall have believed and done the
things that be right, are the Gardens beneath
whose shades the river flow This the immense
bliss
Verify, right terrible will be the Lords vengeance
He it is who produceth all things and causeth them
to return:
And He is the Indulgent the Loving;
Possessor of the G orious throne;
Worker Of that He willie tn;
Hath not the story reached thee Of the hosts
OF Pharaoh and Themond!
Nay the intdels are all for denial
But God surrounded them from behind.

Written on The preserved Table.
OF what ask they Of one another?
OF the great News,
The theme of their dispute
Nay they shall certainly know its truth
Again Nay they shall certainly know it.
Have not made the Earth a couch2
And the mountains its tent. stakes?
We have created you of two sexes,
And ordained your sleep for rest
And ordained the night as a mantle,
And ordained the day for gaining livelihood,
And built above you seven solid heavens,
And placed therein burning lamp;
And we send down water in abundance from the
rain clouds,
That we may bring forth by it corn and herb,
And gardens tn ok with trees.
10, the day Of Severance is fixed;
The day when there shall be blast on the trumpet
and We shall come in crowds,
And the Heaven shall be opened and be full OF
portals,
Aud the mountains shall be set ii motion, and melt
into thin vspor.
Hell truly shall be place OF snares,
The home of transgressors,
To abide therein ages;
No GOODNESS shall they taste therein any drink
Save boiling water and running sores;
Meet Tecompense
For they looked not forward to their account;
And they give the lie to our signs charging them
with false hood;
But we noted and wrote down all
s'Taste this then and will give you increase OF
nought but torment
But, for the God-fearing is blissful abode,
Enclosed gardens and vineyards;
And damsels with swelling breasts, their peers in
age,
And full cup;
There shall they hear no vain discourse, nor any
falsehoOd:
A recompense from thy Lord-sutfieing gift :
Lord Of the heavens a1d OF the earth, and OF all
that between them leth--the God of Mercy But
not wora shall they obtain from Him.
On the day wherein the Spirit and the Angels shall
be ranged in order, they shall not speak; save ne
