O Descendants of Israel (Jacob)! Remember My favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant towards Me, I shall fulfil My covenant towards you; and fear Me alone. 40 And believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And do not exchange My signs for a small price, and fear [only] Me. 41 And do not mix the truth with falsehood, nor purposely conceal the truth. 42 And perform the prayer, and pay the alms, and bow with those that bow. 43 ۞ Do you bid other people to be pious, the while you forget your own selves - and yet you recite the divine writ? Will you not, then, use your reason?! 44 Seek help with patience and prayer; this is indeed an exacting discipline, but not to the humble, 45 who reckon that they will meet their Lord and that to Him they will return. 46
