  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Of the Jews there are those Who displace words From their (right) places, And say: "We hear And we disobey"; And "Hear what is not Heard"; and "Rā’inā";— With a twist of their tongues And a slander to Faith. If only they had said: "We hear and we obey; And "Do hear"; And "Do look at us": It would have been better For them, and more proper; But God hath cursed them For their Unbelief; and but few Of them will believe.

    Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:46

    But if they violate their oaths After their covenant, And taunt you for your Faith,— Fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith: For their oaths are nothing to them: That thus they may be restrained.
