IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[24:63]
DO NOT regard the Apostle’s summons to you [in the same light] as a summons of one of you to another: God is indeed aware of those of you who would withdraw surreptitiously: so let those who would go against His bidding beware, lest a [bitter] trial befall them [in this world] or grievous suffering befall them [in the life to come].


* v.63 : I.e., his summons to God’s message in general, spoken of in verses 46-54 above, as well as to a particular course of communal action, referred to in verse 62. Alternatively, “the Apostle’s summons” may, in this context, be synonymous with the Qur’ān itself.
