1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: As-Samad; |
2 | The Eternal, the Absolute, the Self-Sufficient; |
3 | And the one-hundredth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty. |
4 | What the eyes see, there can be no doubt; |
5 | What the ears hear, let no one say otherwise; |
6 | The proof is given, now let the unbeliever state their argument; |
7 | By all law and logic, each word is measured and with purpose; |
8 | Every phrase has reason and meaning; |
9 | As these sufa (characteristics) are divine and if one should doubt it, |
10 | Let them write such sufa greater than these, which they cannot. |
11 | Therefore, evidence speaks for itself. |
12 | Let not a man give false evidence, |
13 | Nor permit a man to be condemned upon falsity. |
14 | A man sworn before a jurist to speak the truth who instead speaks falsity is good for nothing. |
15 | Take such a disgraceful man and upon proof of his perfidy, |
16 | Execute him, so that no more shall he defile the law. |
17 | The penalty for false evidence is death. |
18 | This is the law. |
