63 Allah has made the truth clear in the Furq a n, then in what thing will they believe thereafter? They opt for doubt over cer- tainty, a trait befitting those destined for ruin. O people, this was a promise from Allah, and He indeed ful- filled it by fashioning the two chains. Why then do you entertain the notion that Allah could create disparity without apprehen- sion? Do you attribute to Allah the violation of His covenant and promise? Holy is He and exalted far above what you claim! Did you think that the chain of the Chosen One s as is not akin to the chain of Moses as ? This is nothing but a denial of the Quran, if you understand. Are their two beginnings not similar, and their two ends the same? Evil is what you judge. Have you exalted Moses as and debased the Chosen One s as ? Shame on you and your deeds! Have you failed to maintain bal- ance even after adjusting the scales, neglecting to uphold justice? Allah showed the virtue of this chain by sealing the matter [of Islam] by it, and then you bring Jesus as to it while you know! What is the matter with you that you do not give someone his due virtue and do wrong? Would you cut off the leg of this chain and keep its head? This is nothing but the action of a madman. Do you distort the Word of Allah as you perverted it before and said what you have said about the verse, 1 ْ ِْي� َِن� َْت� َْي� �ََوََّف َت� َا ٰم ََلَ � َّف 1. But since Thou didst cause me to die ( S u rah al-M a’ idah, 5:118). [Publisher]
