Glory be unto Him Who is the Lord of all that are in the
heavens and on the earth; He is the All-Wise, the All-Informed. It is He Who calleth into being whatsoever He willeth at
His behest; He is indeed the Clement, the Fashioner. Say, verily He is equal to
His purpose; whomsoever He willeth, He maketh victorious through the power of
His hosts; there is none other God but Him, the Mighty, the Wise. His is the
kingdom of earth and heaven and He is the Lord of power and glory. Such as have
believed in God and in His signs are indeed the followers of truth and shall
abide in the gardens of delight, while those who have disbelieved in God and
have rejected that which He hath revealed, these shall be the inmates of the
fire wherein they shall remain forever. Say, most people have openly repudiated
God and have followed the rebellious wicked doers. Such people resemble those
who have gone before them, upholding every hostile oppressor.
