   It was We who revealed The Law (to Moses): therein Was guidance and light.'

If any do fail to judge By (the light of) what God Hath revealed, they are (No better than) Unbelievers.

   No just estimate of God Do they make when they say: "Nothing doth God send down To man (by way of revelation)": Say: "Who then sent down The Book which Moses brought?— A light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (Separate) sheets for show, While ye conceal much (Of its contents): therein Were ye taught that Which ye knew not Neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "God (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge In vain discourse and trifling.

So it is those who believe In him, honour him, Help him, and follow the Light Which is sent down with him,— It is they who will prosper."
