  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    (Here is) a Parable Of the Garden which The righteous are promised: In it are rivers Of water incorruptible; Rivers of milk Of which the taste Never changes; rivers Of wine, a joy To those who drink; And rivers of honey Pure and clear. In it There are for them All kinds of fruits; And Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) Be compared to such as Shall dwell for ever In the Fire, and be given, To drink, boiling water, So that it cuts up Their bowels (to pieces)?

    Surah Muhammad, verse 47:15
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    Muhammad is the Apostle Of God; and those who are With him are strong Against Unbelievers, (but) Compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow And prostrate themselves (In prayer), seeking Grace From God and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their Marks, (being) the traces Of their prostration. This is their similitude In the Taurāt; And their similitude In the Gospel is: Like a seed which sends Forth its blade, then Makes it strong; it then Becomes thick, and it stands On its own stem, (filling) The sowers with wonder And delight. As a result, It fills the Unbelievers With rage at them. God has promised those Among them who believe And do righteous deeds Forgiveness, And a great Reward.

    Those who avoid Great sins and shameful deeds, Only (falling into) small faults, Verily thy Lord is ample In forgiveness.

    Surah An-Najm, verse 53:32
  5. Each word opens its meaning.

    Know ye (all), that The life of this world Is but play and amusement, Pomp and mutual boasting And multiplying, (in rivalry) Among yourselves, riches And children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth Which it brings forth, delight (The hearts of) the tillers; Soon it withers; thou Wilt see it grow yellow; Then it becomes dry And crumbles away. But in the Hereafter Is a Penalty severe (For the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from God And (His) Good Pleasure (For the devotees of God). And what is the life Of this world, but Goods and chattels Of deception?

    Surah Al-Hadid, verse 57:20

    Be ye foremost (in seeking) Forgiveness from your Lord, And a Garden (of Bliss), The width whereof is As the width of Heaven and earth, Prepared for those who believe In God and His apostles: That is the Grace of God, Which He bestows on whom He pleases: and God is The Lord of Grace abounding.
