apostles: such is the bounty of God; to whom He will He giveth is, and of immense bounty is God! 
No mischance chanceth either on earth or in your persons, but ere we created them, it was in the Book; for easy is this to God - 
Lest ye distress yourselves if good things escape you, and be over joyous for what falleth to your share. Good loveth not the presumptuous, the boaster. 
Who are covetous themselves and incite others to covetousness. But whoso turneth away from almsgiving - Ah! God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy. 
We have sent our apostles with the clear tokens, and we have caused the Book and the balance to descend with them, that men might observe fairness. And we have sent down IRON, Zire evil rendeth in it, as well as advantage, to mankind! God would know who will assist Him and his apostles in secret. Verily God is Powerful, Strong.
