The Criterion - Al-Furqaan

Say: I do not ask you aught in return except that he who will, may take the way to his Lord.

And rely on the Ever-living Who dies not, and celebrate His praise; and Sufficient is He as being aware of the faults of His servants,

Who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six periods, and He is firmly established on the throne of authority; the Beneficent Allah, so ask respecting it one aware.

And when it is said to them: Prostrate to the Beneficent Allah, they say: And what is the Allah of beneficence? Shall we prostrate to what you bid us? And it adds to their aversion.

Blessed is He Who made the constellations in the heavens and made therein a lamp and a shining moon.

And He it is Who made the night and the day to follow each other for him who desires to be mindful or desires to be thankful.

And the servants of the Beneficent Allah are they who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace.

And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and standing.
