Page 28 - The Basic Concepts in the Qur’an

The disciples of Jesus said: “We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to
know that you have indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses
to the miracle.”
(Al-Maeda, 113)

Those on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Qur’an) is the
Truth from your Lord, and may thus believe therein, and their hearts may be made
