I am surprised that you have begun to harbour doubts about Islam on account of the falsehood and deceit spread by people whose God is dead, whose religion is dead, whose book is dead, and who are themselves dead for they lack the spiritual eye. 8 You must remember that these people have not only interpolated the books of God, but have surpassed every other people in falsehood and fabrica- tion in order to promote their faith. Since they do not possess the light which descends from heaven in support of the truth, and distinguishes a true religion through re- peated testimonies, they are forced to employ all kinds of deceit, fabrication and fraud to alienate people from the living faith—Islam. 6 In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. We praise Him and invoke His blessings upon His noble Messenger and exalted Prophet. [Publishers] 7 Peace be on you. [Publishers] 8 An expression of regret or sorrow.
