ولو انهم اقاموا التوراة والانجيل وما انزل اليهم من ربهم لاكلوا من فوقهم ومن تحت ارجلهم منهم امة مقتصدة وكثير منهم ساء ما يعملون

If only they had stood fast By the Law, the Gospel, And all the revelation that was sent To them from their Lord, They would have enjoyed Happiness from every side.' There is from among them A party on the right course: But many of them Follow a course that is evil.
