"O People of the Qur'an! Ye are as nothing unless ye ..."

O People of the Qur'an! Ye are as nothing unless ye submit unto the
Remembrance of God and unto this Book. If ye follow the Cause of God, We
will forgive you your sins, and if ye turn aside from Our command, We
will, in truth, condemn your souls in Our Book, unto the Most Great Fire.
We, verily, do not deal unjustly with men, even to the extent of a speck

creating man is but for him to know Him. Indeed God hath knowledge of all
things and is self-sufficient above the need of all mankind. _Chapter

"Whenever the faithful hear the verses of this Book ..."

Whenever the faithful hear the verses of this Book being recited, their
eyes will overflow with tears and their hearts will be deeply touched by
Him Who is the Most Great Remembrance for the love they cherish for God,
the All-Praised. He is God, the All-Knowing, the Eternal. They are indeed
the inmates of the all-highest Paradise wherein they will abide for ever.
Verily they will see naught therein save that w
