29:46 (Asad) And do not argue with the followers of earlier revelation otherwise than in a most kindly manner - unless it

be such of them as are bent on evildoing and say: “We believe in that which has been be­stowed from on high upon

us, as well as that which has been bestowed upon you: or our God and your God is one and the same, and it is unto

Him that We [all] surrender ourselves.”

3:19 (Y. Ali) The Religion before Allah is

Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the

People of the Book dissent there from

except through envy of each other, after

knowledge had come to them. But if any deny

the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling

to account.

3:26 (Y. Ali) Say: "O Allah. Lord of Power

(And Rule), Thou gives power to whom Thou

pleases, and Thou stripes off power from whom Thou pleases:

Thou endues with honor whom Thou pleases, and Thou

brings low whom Thou pleases: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power.

3:64يتخذ بعضنا بعضا أربابا من دون الله فإن تولوا فقولوا اشهدوا بأنا مسلمون

3:64 (Asad) Say: "O followers of earlier revelation! Come

unto that tenet which we and you hold in common: that we shall worship none but God, and that we shall not ascribe divinity to aught beside Him,

and that we shall not take human beings for our Lords beside God." And if they turn away, then say: "Bear witness that it is we who have surren-dered ourselves unto Him."

20:105 (Y. Ali) They ask thee concerning the Mountains: say, "My Lord will uproot them and scatter them as dust.

73:14 (Y. Ali) One Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion. And

the mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down.

78:20 (Y. Ali) And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.

101:5 (Y. Ali) And the mountains will be like carded wool.

69:14 (Y. Ali) And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at

one stroke. 70:9 (Y. Ali) And the mountains will be like

wool.

"When My servants ask about Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every supplicant, when he calls on Me. Let them also, with a will, listen to My call,

and believe in Me, so that they may walk in the right way" (Qur'an 2:186).

O Allah! You are Ever-Forgiving

and loves forgiveness,

so forgive us.

2:109 (Asad) Out of their selfish envy, many among the followers of earlier revelation would like to bring you back to denying the truth after you have attained to faith - [even] after the truth has become clear unto them. None the less, forgive and forbear, until God shall make manifest

His will: behold, God has the power to will anything.

2:137 (Asad) And if [others] come to believe in the way you believe, they will in-deed find themselves on the right path; and if they turn away, it is but they who will

be deeply in the wrong, and God will protect thee from them: for He alone is all-hearing, all-knowing.

2:136 (Asad) Say: "We believe in God, and in that which has been bestowed from on high upon us, and that which has been bestowed upon Abraham and Ishmael

and Isaac and Jacob and ,their descendants, and that which has been vouchsafed to Moses and Jesus; and that which has been vouchsafed to all the [other] proph-ets by their Sustainer: we make no distinction between any of them. And it is unto

Him that we surrender ourselves."

56:63 (Asad) Have you ever considered the seed which you cast upon the soil?

56:64 (Asad) Is it you who cause it to grow - or are We the cause of its growth?

6:99 (Asad) And He it is who has caused waters to come down from the sky; and by this means have We brought forth all living growth, and out of this have We

brought forth verdure. Out of this do We bring forth close-growing grain; and out of the spathes of the palm tree, dates in thick clusters; and gardens of vines, and the olive tree, and the pomegranate: [all] so alike, and yet so different! Behold their fruit when it comes to fruition and ripens! Verily, in all this there are mes-

sages indeed for people who will believe!

3:79 (Asad) It is not conceivable that a human being unto whom God had granted revelation, and sound judgment, and prophet hood, should

thereafter have said unto people, "Worship me beside God"; but rather [did he exhort them], "Become men of God by spreading the knowledge

of the divine writ, and by your own deep study [thereof]."
