10. Their apostles said: "Is there a doubt about Allah, The Creator of the heavens and the
earth? It is He Who invites you, in order that He may forgive you your sins and give you
respite for a term appointed!" They said: "Ah! ye are no more than human, like ourselves!
Ye wish to turn us away from the (gods) our fathers used to worship: then bring us some
clear authority."

11. Their apostles said to them: "True, we are human like yourselves, but Allah doth
grant His grace to such of his servants as He pleases. It is not for us to bring you an
authority except as Allah permits. And on Allah let all men of faith put their trust.
