Children of Israel, recall My favors which you enjoyed. Fulfill your covenant with Me and I shall fulfill Mine. Revere only Me. 40 And believe in the Book I have now sent down; as it confirms the Scriptures you already possess, be not the first to reject it; barter not away My Revelations for paltry worldly gain, and guard yourselves against My wrath 41 And do not overlay the truth with falsehood, and do not knowingly suppress the truth; 42 Attend to your prayers, give the zakat [prescribed alms] and bow down with those who bow down. 43 ۞ Command ye mankind to piety and forget yourselves, the while ye read the Book! Understand then ye not! 44 Find strength in fortitude and prayer, which is heavy and exacting but for those who are humble and meek, 45 who are certain of their meeting with their Lord and their return to Him. 46
