Certainly Allah had shown to His Apostle the vision with truth: you shall most certainly enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah pleases, in security, (some) having their heads shaved and (others) having their hair cut, you shall not fear, but He knows what you do not know, so He brought about a near victory before that. 27 It is He who has sent His Apostle with the guidance and the true faith, so that He may exalt it over every other creed. God is sufficient as a witness. 28 Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. And those who are with him are stern against the infidels and merciful among themselves. Thou beholdest them bowing down and falling prostrate, seeking grace from Allah and His goodwill. Mark of them is on their faces from the effect of prostration: such is their similitude in the Taurat. And their similitude in the lnjil: like unto a sown corn that putteth forth its shoot and strengtheneth it, and swelleth, and riseth upon the stalk thereof delighting the sowers. Such are the early Muslims described that He may enrage the infidels with them. Allah hath promised unto those among them who believe and work righteous works, forgiveness and a mighty hire. 29
