The way of those to whom Thou hast been gracious,

Not of those with whom Thou art wroth, nor of the erring.

PREMONITION.

A.L.M.[29] Respecting this Book there is no doubt;[30] it is a guidance for them that fear Him,

Who believe in the unseen,[31] and perform the prayer, and of what We have bestowed on them expend,

And who believe in that which hath been sent down to thee,[32] and what hath been sent down before thee,[33] and have firm assurance of the life to come.

Those follow a right direction from their Lord, and those are they who shall prosper.
