Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

Show us the straight way;
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,
those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
(Surah 1: The Opening, 1-7)

If ye would count up the favors of Allah, never would ye be able to number them.
Allah sends down rain from the skies, and gives therewith life to the earth after its death.
And from the fruit of the date-palm and the vine, ye get out wholesome drink and food.
It is Allah who creates you and takes your souls at death; and of you there are some who are sent back to a feeble age, so that they know nothing after having known (much): for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.
To Allah belongeth the Mystery of the heavens and the earth.

When the world on High is unveiled;
And when the Garden is brought near;-
Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
