MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 557 (Translation) O ye who believe! If you adopt taqwā [righteousness], God will create a distinction between you and others, and will purify you, and will forgive you sins; and your God is Lord of great bounty. إِنْ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقُونَ NOTE: Faith and religion is not a merely a verbal phenomenon. Rather, just as gold is recognized by its qualities, so is the follower of a true reli- gion recognized by the light he exhibits.
