> SURA LXIV (64) - Mutual Deceit      (Medina - 18 Verses)      (XCIII - 372    
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        All that is in the Heavens, and all that is in the Earth, praiseth God:
> His the Kingdom and His the Glory!  And He hath power over all things!
>  
>        It is He who hath created you all; yet some of you are infidel and
> others believers: but God beholdeth all your actions.
>  
>        He hath created the Heavens and the Earth in Truth; and He hath
> fashioned you and given you goodly forms; and to Him must ye all return.
>  
>        He knoweth all that passeth in the Heavens and in the Earth; and He
> knoweth what ye hide and what ye bring to light; and God knoweth the very
> secrets of men's breasts.
>  
>        Hath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of yore, and
> therefore tasted the evil consequences of their doings?  And a sore punishment
> doth await them.
>  
>        This, for that when their apostles came to them with the clear tokens,
> they said, "What! shall men be our guides?"  And they believed not and turned
> their backs.  But God can dispense with them: for God is the Rich, the
> Praiseworthy!
>  
>        The infidels pretend that they shall not be raised from the dead.  Say:
> Yea, by my Lord, ye shall surely be raised; then shall ye surely be told of
> your deeds!  And easy is this for God.
>  
>        Believe then in God and his apostle and in the light which we have sent
> down; for God is fully aware of all ye do.
>  
>        The day when He shall gather you together for the day of mutual
> gathering, will be the day of Mutual Deceit, and whoso shall have believed in
> God and done what is right, for him will He cancel his deeds of evil; and He
> will bring him into the gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow, to abide
> therein for evermore.  This will be the great bliss!
>  
> 64:10  But the unbelieving - those who gave the lie to our signs - shall be the
> inmates of the fire, wherein they shall remain for ever.  And a wretched
> passage thither!
>  
>        No mischance chanceth but by God's permission; and whoso believeth in
> God, that man's heart will he guide: and God knoweth all things.
>  
>        Obey God then and obey the apostle: but if ye turn away, our apostle is
> not to blame, for he is only charged with plain preaching.
>  
>        God! there is no God but He!  On God, then, let the faithful trust.
>  
>        O ye who believe! Verily, in your wives and your children ye have an
> enemy: wherefore beware of them.  But if ye pass it over and pardon, and are
> lenient, Then God too is Lenient, Merciful.
>  
>        Your wealth and your children are only a source of trial! but God! with
> Him is the great recompense.
>  
>        Fear God, then, with all your might, and hear and obey: and give alms
> for your own weal; for such as are saved from their good greed, shall prosper.
>  
>        If ye lend God a generous loan, He will double it to you and will
> forgive you, for God is Grateful, Long-suffering.
>  
>        He knoweth alike the Hidden and the Manifest: the Mighty, the Wise!
