Indeed, God has shown the truth in His Apostle's true vision: most certainly shall you enter the Inviolable House of Worship, if God so wills, in full security, with your heads shaved or your hair cut short, without any fear: for He has [always] known that which you yourselves could not know. And He has ordained [for you,] besides this, a victory soon to come. 27 It is He who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may uplift it above every religion. God suffices 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
