                                  ‘But we found our fathers doing  90  When Paradise shall be
                                  the same.’                 brought near to the God-fearing

                                                    77
                                  and your forefathers— they are you worshipped  besides God?
                                  all my enemies, not so the Lord Can they help you or even help
                                  of the Universe,  78  who created themselves?’  94  Then they will
                                  me. It is He who guides me; be thrown headlong into Hell,

                                  I am ill;  He who will cause me together.  96  They will dispute
                                  to die and bring me back to life; between themselves therein, and
                                  82                                 97
