But as for those who say, "Our Lord is God;" and who go straight to Him,7 angels shall descend to them and say, "Fear ye not, neither be ye grieved, but rejoice ye in the paradise which ye have been promised.
We are your guardians in this life and in the next: your's therein shall be your soul's desire, and your's therein whatever ye shall ask for,
The hospitality of a Gracious, a Merciful One."

Bend not in adoration to the sun or the moon, but bend in adoration before

But if they are too proud for this, yet they who are with thy Lord do celebrate His praises night and day,9 and cease not.
And among His signs is this, that thou seest the earth drooping: but, when we send down the rain upon it, it is stirred and swelleth; verily He who giveth it life, will surely give life to the dead; for His might extendeth over all things.10
