CHAPTER 61.  THE RANKS                                                         SECTION 1.  PART XXVIII

IN THE NAME OF GOD 
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  WHATEVER IS IN THE HEAVENS AND ON EARTH GLORIFIES
THE PRAISES OF GOD, FOR HE IS MIGHTY AND WISE

2  OH YOU WHO BELIEVE, WHY SAY YOU 
THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT DO?

3  HATEFUL IS IT IN GOD'S SIGHT THAT YOU
SAY THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT DO

4  THOSE WHO FIGHT IN GOD'S WAY HE LOVES THEM ALL
WHO FIGHT IN RANKS AS IF THEY WERE A SOLID WALL

5  AND REMEMBER MOSES SAID TO HIS PEOPLE
WHY DO YOU INSULT ME WHEN YOU KNOW I AM GOD'S APOSTLE 
THEN WHEN THEY WENT WRONG AND DID EVIL
GOD LET THEM FOR GOD GUIDES NOT WRONG DOING PEOPLE

6  JESUS, THE SON OF MARY SAID, OH CHILDREN OF ISRAEL 
I AM SENT TO YOU AS GOD'S APOSTLE 
CONFIRMING THE LAW WHICH CAME WITH THE APOSTLE 
BEFORE ME AND GIVING GLAD TIDINGS OF AFTER ME AN APOSTLE 
WHOSE NAME WILL BE AHMAD, AND HE FULFILLED
GIVING THEM CLEAR SIGNS AND THEY SAID, THIS A SPELL

7  WHO DOES GREATER WRONG THAN ONE WHO INVENTS FALSITY 
AGAINST GOD WHEN HE IS BEING INVITED TO ACT SUBMISSIVELY?  
AND GOD GUIDES NOT THOSE WHO ACT WRONGFULLY

8  THEIR INTENTION IS TO EXTINGUISH GOD'S LIGHT 
WITH THEIR MOUTHS BUT HE WILL COMPLETE HIS LIGHT 
EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD BE TO THE DISBELIEVERS DISLIKE

9  GOD SENT HIS APOSTLE WITH GUIDANCE AND THE TRUE RELIGION 
THAT HE MAY MAKE IT OVERCOME ALL OF THE RELIGIONS 
ALTHOUGH THE POLYTHEISTS MAY BE IN OPPOSITION

10  OH YOU WHO BELIEVE, SHALL I LEAD YOU 
TO A BARGAIN THAT WILL SAVE YOU 
FROM A GRIEVOUS PENALTY FALLING UPON YOU?

11  THAT YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND HIS MESSENGER
AND THAT YOU STRIVE IN THE CAUSE OF YOUR MAKER
WITH YOUR PERSONS AND YOUR PROPERTY YOU HAVE ACQUIRED 
IF YOU BUT KNEW THAT FOR YOU WOULD BE BETTER

12  HE WILL FORGIVE YOU YOUR SINS
AND WILL ADMIT YOU TO GARDENS 
IN WHICH RIVERS FLOW WITHIN
AND TO BEAUTIFUL MANSIONS 
AND PERPETUAL GARDENS 
THAT IS THE SUPREME SALVATION

13  AND ANOTHER FAVOR WILL HE SURELY
BESTOW WHICH YOU LOVE INDEED
HELP FROM GOD AND A SPEEDY VICTORY 
SO GIVE THE GOOD NEWS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE

14  OH YOU WHO BELIEVE, BE GOD'S HELPERS 
AS JESUS, THE SON OF MARY, SAID TO HIS FOLLOWERS
TO DO GOD'S WORK WHO OF YOU WILL BE MY HELPERS? 
THE DISCIPLES SAID TO HIM, WE ARE GOD'S HELPERS 
SOME OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BECAME BELIEVERS 
AND A PORTION OF THEM WERE DISBELIEVERS 
WE GAVE POWER AGAINST THEIR ENEMIES TO THE BELIEVERS 
AND THEY BECAME THE ONES THAT WERE THE WINNERS
