He [Allah] said, "Moses, I have cho sen you over all man kind for My
mes sage and My word. Take what I have given you and be among
the thank ful." We wrote about every thing for him on the Tablets as
an admo ni tion and mak ing all things clear. "Seize hold of it vig or -
ous ly and com mand your peo ple to adopt the best in it. I will show
you the home of the devi a tors!" (Surat al-A'raf, 144-145)

When Moses's anger abat ed he picked up the Tablets and in their in-
scrip tion was gui dance and mercy for all of them who feared their
Lord. (Surat al-A'raf, 154)

We gave Moses the Book -be in no doubt about the meet ing with him-
and made it a gui dance for the tribe of Israel. (Surat as-Sajda, 23)

Say, "We believe in Allah and what has been sent down to us and

what was sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob
and the Tribes, and what Moses and Jesus were given, and what all
the Prophets were given by their Lord. We do not dif fer en ti ate be-
tween any of them. We are Muslims sub mit ted to Him." (Surat al-
Baqara, 136)

He has laid down the same reli gion for you as He enjoined on Noah:
that which We have revealed to you and which We enjoined on Abra-
ham, Moses and Jesus: "Establish the reli gion and do not make divi -

Allah has bought from the believ ers their selves and their wealth in
return for the Garden. They fight in the way of Allah and they kill
and are killed. It is a prom ise bind ing on Him in the Torah, the

Gospel and the Qur'an and who is truer to his con tract than Allah?
Rejoice then in the bar gain you have made. That is the great vic to ry.
(Surat at-Tawba, 111)
