1 | O People! There is no other deity but Allah! |
2 | The Compassionate, the Beneficent, the Gracious; |
3 | All glory and honor be to Allah and no other! |
4 | Let the truth be now revealed concerning the Sabians; |
5 | The ones who believe in nothing but themselves; |
6 | But claim to be devout and pious followers of all faiths. |
7 | They be not the first inhabitants of the land, |
8 | But pirates and robbers, who wrap themselves in their gains, |
9 | Who pretend in all manner of ways to be the custodians, |
10 | Of a desert of which they know nothing. |
11 | Do not be deceived by the Sabians. |
12 | They cannot speak truth, nor do they know it. |
13 | They would sell even their son as a slave, |
14 | If it meant avoiding the hardship of work. |
15 | Verily, before the family of Islam is truly united, |
16 | The lands must be rid of the Sabians who plague it. |
