denly it was a slithering snake. (Surah Ta Ha, 17-20)

have no fear! You are one of those who are secure. (Surat al-Qasas, 31)

inal form. Put your hand under your arm and press it to your side. It
will emerge pure white yet quite unharmed, another Sign. (Surah Ta
Ha, 21-22)

me to support me and back me up. I am afraid they will call me a liar.'
