IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[12:111]
Indeed, in the stories of these men there is a lesson for those who are endowed with insight.
[As for this revelation,] it could not possibly be a discourse invented [by man]: nay indeed, it is [a divine writ] confirming the truth of whatever there still remains [of earlier revelations], clearly spelling out everything, and [offering] guidance and grace unto people who will believe.
