1. Glorifying God
is everything in the heavens and everything on the earth; the King, the Most
Sacred, the Noble, the Wise.
2. He is the One who sent to the gentiles a messenger from among themselves,
to recite to them His revelations, and to purify them, and teach them the scripture
and wisdom. Before this, they had gone far astray.
3. And to many generations subsequent to them. He is the Noble, the Wise.
4. Such is God's grace that He bestows upon whomever He wills. God is Possessor
of Infinite Grace.
5. The example of those who were given the Torah, then failed to uphold it,
is like the donkey carrying great works of literature. Miserable indeed is the
example of people who rejected God's revelations. God does not guide the wicked
people.
6. Say: "O you who are Jewish, if you claim that you are God's chosen,
to the exclusion of all other people, then you should long for death if you
are truthful!"
7. But they will never long for it, because of what they have committed. God
is fully aware of the wicked.
8. Say: "The death that you are trying to evade will eventually find you.
Then you will be returned to the Knower of all secrets and declarations, then
He will inform you of everything you had done"
9. O you who believe, if the salat is called to at a time of gathering, you
shall hasten to the remembrance of God, and cease all business. This is better
for you, if you only knew.
10. Once the salat is completed, you may spread through the land to seek God's
bounties, and continue to remember God frequently, that you may succeed.
11. And if they come across a business deal, or some entertainment, they rush
to it and leave you standing! Say: "What God possesses is far better than
the entertainment or the business. God is the best Provider"
