0014 From the Koran, Sura 29

Remembering as first and foremost, Allah,
who knows of all your actions in His name,
be courteous to all Children of the Book; for
Arab, Christian, Jew, this Book's the same:
They share with you, God's spoken revelation;
whose God and your God are but ever one;
in Adam, Abraham, Moses, all one nation;
and unto Him all men, as one, return.
He gives the infidels their painful burden,
the faithful and the good He will reward,
for life on earth is but a sport and pass-time;
the true life lives, with mercy, in the Lord.

Surrender to the one God, in His Name:
His heaven and earth for all men is the same.
