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 Believe in that which I have [now] bestowed from on high, confirming the truth already in your possession, and be not foremost among those who deny its truth; and do not barter away My messages for a trifling gain; and of Me, of Me be conscious 41 And do not mix the truth with falsehood, nor purposely conceal the truth. 42 Establish your prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and bow with those who bow. 43 ۞ What! do you enjoin men to be good and neglect your own souls while you read the Book; have you then no sense? 44 Seek help in patience and prayer; and truly it is hard save for the humble-minded, 45 who know for certain that they will meet their Lord, and that they will return to Him. 46
