TEXT OF PAGE 10. OF JANUARY 6, 1982 REPORT TO PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER:

10.

I telephoned you last month and suggested that you read these verses of the surah (in the Qur'an) titled: "The Children of Israel". I have prepared a lengthy exposition on this issue which is ongoing but i will not send it until i am ready to.
I quote:

    "99. Have they not seen that Allah Who created the heavens and the earth is Able to create the like of them, and hath appointed for them an end whereof there is no doubt? But the wrong-doers refuse aught save disbelief.
    100. Say (unto them): If you possessed the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, ye would surely hold them back for fear of spending, for man was ever grudging.
    101. And verily We gave unto Moses nine tokens, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Do not ask the Children of Israel how he came unto them, then Pharaoh said unto him: Lo! I deem thee one bewitched, O Moses.
    102. He said: In truth thou knowest that none sent down these (portents) save the Lord of the heavens and the earth as proofs, and lo! (for my part) I deem thee lost, O Pharaoh.
    103. And he wished to scare them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him, all together.
    104. And We said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land; but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass we shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations.
    105. With truth have We sent it down, and with truth hath it descended. And We have sent thee as naught else save a bearer of good tidings and a warner.
    106. And (it is) a Qur'an that We have divided, that thou mayest recite it unto mankind at intervals, and We have revealed it by (successive) revelation.
    107. Say: Believe therein or believe not, lo! those who were given knowledge before it, when it is read unto them, fall down prostrate on their faces, adoring.
    108. Saying: Glory to our Lord! Verily the promise of our Lord must be fulfilled.
    109. They fall down on their faces, weeping, and it increaseth humility in them.
    110. Say (unto mankind): Cry unto Allah, or cry unto the Beneficent, unto whichsoever ye cry (it is the same). His are the most beautiful names. And thou (Muhammad), be not loud voiced in thy worship nor yet silent therein, but follow a way between.
    111. And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and Who hath no partner in the Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting friend through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence."
