the First Day
and be not first to disbelieve therein 1 Lo! the first Sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Mecca, a blessed place, a guidance to the peoples 1 Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for Us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers 1 Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender (unto Him) . And be not thou (O Muhammad) of the idolaters 1 He hath no partner. This am I commanded, and I am first of those who surrender (unto Him) 1 till, when they have all been made to follow one another thither, the last of them saith unto the first of them: Our Lord! These led us astray, so give them double torment of the Fire. He saith: For each one there is double (torment), but ye know not 1 And the first of them saith unto the last of them : Ye were no whit better than us, so taste the doom for what ye used to earn 1 And when he woke he said: Glory unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first of (true) believers. 1 And the first to lead the way, of the Muha'jirin and the Ansar, and those who followed them in goodness--- Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He hath made ready for them Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the supreme triumph. 1
