People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the

Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this ?" Thus doth Allah leave

to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces

of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
