Nature of God: the "Verse of the Throne": No compulsion in religion: Upright conduct: Abraham: Charity: Usury: Contracts: Witnesses, 2:254-283

Оглавление

C. 52.(2:254-283)—Who can describe the nature of God?

The Living, the Eternal: His Throne

Extends over worlds and worlds

That no imagination can compass.

His truth is clear as daylight: how

Can compulsion advance religion?

The keys of Life and Death, and the mysteries

Of everything around us, are in His hands.

Our duty then is to seek the path

Of goodness, kindness, upright

Conduct and Charity,—to grasp

At no advantage from a brother’s need,

To stand by the word that is pledged,

To bear true witness, and remove all cause

Of misunderstandings in our dealings

As between man and man.
