wicked God will not enlighten you neither hearken to your prayers because ye have traduced his Prophet the time of the punishment of your crimes shall suddenly arrive CHAP. XXVI The Chapter of Poets containing an hundred and twenty seven Verses written at Mecca IN the name of God gracious and merciful God is most pure he understandeth all things he is most wise These signs are the signs of the book that distinguisheth truth from falshood wilt thou destroy thy self because men are impious If I will I can cause my judgments to descend upon them that shall humble them they despise my Commandments they scoff but shall be rigorously punished See they not how many fruits we have made to spring out of the earth It is a token of our Omnipotency nevertheless the greatest part of them believe not that thy Lord is the omnipotent and the merciful Instruct them how thy Lord said unto Moses thou shalt be my messenger to the Infidels and the people of Pharoah that they may have my fear before their eyes Moses said Lord I fear they may traduce me and that my tongue cannot be loosed send with me my brother Aaron they know the fault I have committed and will put me to death The Lord said to him they shall not put thee to death go both whither I command you I will be with you and will hear what they say say to Pharoah that ye are the Messengers of the Lord of the World and let him dismiss with you the Children of Israel Pharoah said unto Moses have I not seen thee within this house a little Child Didst thou not dwell with us many years Dist thou not kill a man Thou art impious Moses said I did what I did I was in the number of the seduced I fled when I feared you since that time God hath given me knowledg and placed me in the number of his Prophets and Apostles he hath sent me his grace to set before thee the evil that thou dost commit in causing thy self to be adored of the Children of Israel Pharoah said unto him who is that God of the World He answered it is the Lord of Heaven and Earth and of whatsoever is between them Pharoah said to them that were about him Hear ye not what he saith Moses continued his speech and said my Lord is your God the God of your Fathers and of your Predecessors Pharoah said this Prophet that is sent to you is a fool Moses said I am indeed the Messenger of the Lord of the West and East if ye had understanding to know him Pharoah said if thou worship any other God but me I will cause thee to be put unto the bottom of a Pit Moses said to him Wilt thou do it seeing I am come to thee with reasons so strong and arguments so infallible Pharaoh said unto him Bring thy reasons if thou art true Then he cast his staff on the ground and it was changed into a Serpent he drew his Hand out of his bosom it appeared white and shining to the Eyes of the spectators Then said Pharoah to them that were about him Certainly behold here a skilful Magician he would drive you from your Country through his Magick what say ye They answered He with his Brother must be terrified and men must be sent into all thy Cities to assemble the most knowing Magicians of all thy Dominions when they came together at the day appointed it was demanded of them if they were called to follow the magick of Moses and of Aaron They said what shall be our reward if we be victorious Pharoah said unto them Yes ye shall be rewarded and be among them that approach my Person Moses said unto them will you cast your staves on the ground or shall I first cast mine They cast their cords and their staves first saying With the assistance of Pharoah we shall be victorious then Moses cast his Rod on the ground which devoured their cords and staves when they beheld this miracle they fell prostrate and said We believe in the Lord of the World God of Moses and Aaron Pbaroah said to them If ye believe in Moses without my permission ye shall see what shall 〈◊〉 you he is your Master he understandeth Magick better than you I will cause your right feet and left hands or your right hands and left feet to be cut off and cause you all to be hanged they said This shall do us none harm we shall return before God our Lord we hope that he will remit our sins because we shall be the first Converts We said unto Moses go with the Children of Israel my servants and fear not the People of Pharoah that shall follow thee Pharoah sent his Commissioners through his Dominions to assemble the People and said speaking of the Children of Israel those men are few in number they have displeased me but I will well awake them We moved Pharoah and his People to depart out of Egypt to pursue the Children of Israel we caused them to quit their Gardens Fountains and Houses of pleasure and made the Children of Israel heirs of their treasure they surpriz'd them at the rising of the Sun when the Children of Israel beheld them they said we are overtaken Moses answered No my Lord is with me he shall guide me then we inspired Moses to strike the Sea with his Rod incontinently it divided it self on both sides like two Mountains we saved him and all that were wi●…h him and drowned the men of Pharoah which shall serve for an example to the incredulous and obstinate thy Lord is Omnipotent and merciful Relate to unbelievers the History of Abraham when he said to his Father and his People whom do ye adore they answered We adore our Idols he said unto them Do they hear you when ye invoke them Do they good unto you when ye worship them or mischief when ye neglect them they answered We find that our Fathers worshipped them as we do Abraham said unto them you and your Fathers worship vain things ye adore only Idols mine Enemies I will not worship them I will worship the Lord of the World who created guideth and nourisheth me who giveth me health when I am sick who maketh me to live and will cause me to die and from whom I hope for pardon of my Sins at the Day of Judgment Lord give me the knowledg of thy will grant that my Tongue and Words may be credited as true by Posterity put me into the number of the Heirs of Paradise pardon my Father who hath been in the number of the erroneous and make me not ashamed at the Day of the Resurrection at the Day when riches and Children shall be unprofitable except to such as shall have an heart estranged from Impiety God shall make the righteous to approach to Paradise and the wicked to see Hell They shall say Can the Idols that ye adore save you Can they save themselves They shall be

in this place thou shalt be able to see me when the Lord appeared upon the Mountain with his light it was reduced to ashes and Moses amazed fell on the ground as dead When he arose again he said Blessed be the name of God I desire to obey him and believe that no Man living is able to behold him He said to Moses I have chosen and preferred thee to all the World I have made thee a Prophet thou hast talked with me receive the Grace which I have bestowed on thee and be not ingrateful We gave to him the Tables whereon was written what was necessary for the Salvation of Men and we said to him receive with affection what I give thee and command thy people to observe the Contents of those Tables I will precipitate into Hell such as transgress my Commandments I will deprive the proud of my Graces they will not believe in my Law although they see all the Miracles in the World if they see the right way they will not follow it they see the way of Errour and pursue it because they have abjured my Commandments and rejected my Grace the good works of them that disobey me and that believe not in the Resurrection are unprofitable they shall be chastised after their Demerits The people of Moses after his departure adored the Calf a bellowing God saw they not that it spake not to them neither could conduct them into the right way Nevertheless they adored it for which they were greatly to blame When this Calf fell to the ground and they found their errour they said if God have not pity on us we shall be miserable When Moses returned he said to them whom did ye obey after my departure You were too hasty to worship that Idol he in displeasure cast against the ground the Tables that God had given him took his Brother by the head and dragging him to him said Son of my Mother how hast thou governed this people I wanted power replyed he and could not divert them from their evil It wanted little but they had slain me do me no harm rejoyce not my Enemies with my misery and account me not with those that adored Idols Moses said Lord pardon me and my Brother give us thy mercy thou art the merciful of the merciful The wrath of God and the infamy of the World shall fall upon them that worshipped the Calf and blasphemed against God he will be pitiful to such as shall repent and believe in his Divine Majesty The displeasure of Moses being allayed he again took the Tables whereon was written the way of Salvation for such as have the fear of their Lord before their eyes he caused to be separated from his people at a time appointed threescore and ten Persons who were surprized with an Earthquake and with Thunder and said Lord thou couldest have destroyed them before they adored the Calf wilt thou destroy us all because of the sin of the ignorant that are amongst us Thou hast desired to prove this people thou guidest and causest to erre whom thou pleasest thou art our Protector pardon our sins for thou art altogether merciful give us thy Grace in this World and guide us to the Day of Judgment near to thy Divine Majesty He said I will punish as I see good my mercy embraceth the whole World it is for such as have my fear before their eyes that pay Tithes obey my Commandments follow the right way believe in the Prophet who can neither write nor read and what is written in the Old Testament and the Gospel he shall command them things honest he shall prohibit things uncivil he shall teach them what meats are clean and forbid them to eat what is unclean he shall deliver them from Ceremonies weighty and troublesome and from the Chains that strictly bind them Such as shall believe in him that shall honour him that shall defend him from his Enemies and follow the light that we shall send him shall be happy Say unto the people I am indeed a Messenger sent from God to whom appertaineth the Kingdom of the Heavens and of Earth there is but one God alone he giveth Life and Death as seemeth good to him Believe in God and in his Prophet who can neither read nor write Such as shall believe in God in his word and follow the Prophet shall not erre they shall follow a very good way There are some of the Children of Israel that knew the truth and judge with equity We divided them into twelve Tribes when Moses required drink for his People we inspired him to strike the Rock with his Rod whence flowed twelve Fountains and every one knew the place where he should drink we covered them with the shadow of Clouds we caused Manna and Quails to descend upon them and commanded them to eat of the good things which we gave them They did not hurt us when they murmured but afflicted themselves It was said to them Dwell in this City and eat therein what shall please you enter at the gate with adoration and beg pardon of your sins I will pardon you and will augment the graces of the righteous nevertheless the wicked that were among them altered the words that were spoken to them and perverted them and we sent upon them our indignation from Heaven because of their impiety Ask of them concerning a Village that was upon the shore of the Sea whose inhabitants observed not the Sabbath and fished on the day of rest they saw in that day Serpents appear upon the water and other days they saw none Thus were they tryed because of their disobedience A party of them said Fish not O People it is lost labour God shall destroy and chastise them with grievous torments then their Doctors said They shall implore pardon of the Lord perhaps they will fear to offend him another time When they rejected what we taught them we saved such among them as abstained from evil-doing and grievously afflicted the wicked because of their disobedience when they gloried in their sin we said to them Be ye contemned and abhorred as Apes thy Lord shall send to them at the Day of Judgment persons to torment them he is exact in punishing the wicked and merciful to the righteous We sent upon them good and evil to prove them peradventure they will be converted Their posterity left a progeny heirs of their Doctrine nevertheless they returned to their sins and say the Lord shall pardon them they beg pardon of him and return daily to their sin Shall not account be required from them of what is ordained in the Scripture To wit not to speak of God but with truth They have read the Truth but have not comprehended it Paradise is only for the righteous I will not deprive them of recompence who make their prayers at the time appointed and observe what is contained in the Scriptures Remember thou how we raised a Mountain over
