Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Islamic Monotheism) from the Fire! 27 Are We to make those who believe and do good works the same as those who corrupt the earth?

How excellent a bondman! verily he was oft-returning. 30 When in the evening were presented to him the standing steeds, 31 he said: “Lo!
