even though they may sometimes stumble --
behold, thy Sustainer is abounding in forgiveness.

[FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt][FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt]O[/FONT] you who have attained to faith!
Do not ask about matters which,
if they were to be made manifest to you in terms of law,
might cause you hardship;
for, if you should ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed,
they might indeed be made manifest to you as laws.
God has absolved you from any obligation in this respect:
for God is much-forgiving, forbearing.

[FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt][FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt]H[/FONT]e alone is the all-knowing Creator:
His Being alone is such that when He wills a thing to be,
He but says unto it, "Be" -- and it is.
Limitless, then, in His glory is He
in whose hand rests the mighty dominion over all things;
and unto Him you all will be brought back.
