38. We said. `Go forth hence, all of you. And if there comes to you guidance from ME then whoso shall follow MY guidance, on them shall come no fear nor shall they grieve.' 39. But they who will disbelieve and treat Our signs as lies, these shall be the inmates of the Fire; herein shall they abide. 40. O Children of Israel ! remember MY favours which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your covenant with ME, I will fulfill MY covenant with you, and ME alone should you fear. 41. And believe in what I have sent which fulfill that which is with you, and be not the first to disbelieve therein, and barter not MY Signs for a paltry price, and take protection in ME alone. 42. And confound not truth with falsehood nor hide the truth knowingly. 43. And observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat, and bow down with those who bow. 44. Do you enjoined others to do what is good and forget your ownselves, while you read the book ? Will you not then understand ? 45. And seek help with patience and prayer, and this indeed is hard except for the humble in spirit, 46. Who know for certain that they will meet their Lord, and to HIM will they return. 47. O Children of Israel ! remember MY favours which I bestowed upon you and that I exalted you above the peoples of the time. 48. And guard yourselves against the day when no soul shall serve as a substitute for another soul at all, nor shall intercession be accepted for it, nor shall ransom be taken from it, nor shall they be helped. |
