Assuredly did Allah shew a true vision to His apostle in very truth; ye shall surely enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah willeth, secure, having your heads shaven and your hair cut, and ye shall not fear. He knoweth that which ye know not; wherefore He appointed, beside that, a victory near at hand. 27 He it is who has sent forth His Apostle with the [task of spreading] guidance and the religion of truth, to the end that He make it prevail over every [false] religion; and none can bear witness [to the truth] as God does. 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
