    But give glad tidings To those who believe And work righteousness, That their portion is Gardens, Beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed With fruits therefrom, They say: "Why, this is What we were fed with before," For they are given things in similitude; And they have therein Companions pure (and holy); And they abide therein (for ever).

    He it is Who has sent down To thee the Book: In it are verses Basic or fundamental (Of established meaning); They are the foundation Of the Book: others Are allegorical. But those In whose hearts is perversity follow The part thereof that is allegorical, Seeking discord, and searching For its hidden meanings, But ṭo one knows Its hidden meanings except God. And those who are firmly grounded In knowledge say: "We believe In the Book; the whole of it Is from our Lord:" and none Will grasp the Message Except men of understanding.

    Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:7

Behold! in these things There are Signs for people Who believe.

    Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:99
  4. Each word opens its meaning.

    It is He who produceth Gardens, with trellises And without, and dates, And tilth with produce Of all kinds, and olives And pomegranates, Similar (in kind) And different (in variety): Eat of their fruit In their season, but render The dues that are proper On the day that the harvest Is gathered. But waste not By excess: for God Loveth not the wasters.

    Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:141
  5. Each word opens its meaning.

    God has revealed (From time to time) The most beautiful Message In the form of a Book, Consistent with itself, (Yet) repeating (its teaching In various aspects): The skins of those who Fear their Lord tremble Thereat; then their skins And their hearts do soften To the celebration of God's praises. Such is The guidance of God: He guides therewith Whom He pleases, but such As God leaves to stray, Can have none to guide.

    Surah Az-Zumar, verse 39:23
