[4] (i) (i) 1. Say: He is Allah, the one and only; 2. Allah, the eternal, absolute; 3. He does not beget, nor is He begotten; 4. And there is none like Him. (Sura 112) (ii) (ii) 21. O people! Adore your Guardian-Lord, who created you and those who came before you, so that you may have the chance to learn righteousness; 22. Who has made the earth your couch, and the heavens your canopy; and sent down rain from the heavens; and by it brought forth fruits for your sustenance; then do not set up rivals to Allah, when you know.

3 (iii) (iii) 30. Behold, your Lord said to the angels: I will create a vicegerent on earth. They said: Will You place there one who will make mischief there and shed blood?- whilst we celebrate your praises and glorify your holy (name)? He said: I know what you do not know. 31. And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: Tell me the names of these if you are right. 32. They said: Glory to You, of knowledge we have none, save what You have taught us: In truth it is You who are perfect in knowledge and wisdom. 33. He said: Adam! Tell them their names. When he had told them, Allah said: Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal? 34. And behold, We said to the angels: Bow down to Adam. And they bowed down. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: he was of those who reject faith. 35. We said: Adam! You and your wife dwell in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things in it as You wish. But do not approach this tree, or you will run into harm and transgression. 36. Then Satan made them slip from there, and got them out of what they had been in. We said: Go down, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood, for a time. 37. Then Adam learnt from his Lord words of inspiration, and his Lord turned towards him; for He is often-returning, most merciful. (Sura 2.30 37) 2058/12/M/J/17 [Turn over
