God has in all truth shown His Messenger a true vision in which He said, "God willing, you will most certainly enter the Sacred Mosque in safety and without fear, shaven-headed or with hair cut short" -- God knew what you did not; and has given you a victory beforehand. 27 He it is Who sent His Messenger with the True Guidance and the Religion of Truth that He may make it prevail over every religion. Sufficient is Allah as a witness (to this). 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
