Alexander Ross, The Alcoran of Mahomet, translated out of Arabick into French, by the Sieur Du Ryer, Lord of Malezair, and resident for the French king, at Alexandria. And newly Englished, for the satisfaction of all that desire to look into the Turkish vanities. (1649)

God knoweth the time of their abode there, he knoweth whatsoever is in Heaven, and Earth, he understandeth and seeth all things, he alone disposeth every thing, and hath no companion: Preach what thy Lord hath inspired into thee, his word admitteth of no alteration, there is no safer refuge than in him: dwell with those that invoke him morning and evening, and desire to see his face: depart not from their company, if thou desirest to have content of life in this world: obey not those whose heart we have hardned, and are unmindfull of us; follow not their impiety; whatsoever they do, is but offence and sinne. Say unto them, the truth proceedeth from your Lord; who shall desire [it] shall be True believers, and who shall not desire [it] shall be an Infidel, we have prepared Hell to chastise the impious, and prisons wherein to detaine them. They shall implore succors against the melting pit, into which they shall be plunged, as into waters, it shall rost their faces, and shall be their drink: I will not frustrate of reward them that shall have done well; they shall enjoy the delights of the gardens of Eden, wherein flow many rivers, they shall have bracelets of fine Gold; they shall be cloathed with green, with Scarlet, with shining colours, and shall sit on thrones, with an eternal felicity. Declare to them this parable: there were two men, I gave to the one of them gardens wherein are store of fruits, he in contempt told his companion, that he was more wealthy and powerful then he, and entred into his gardens, being an Infidel, and an Idolater, and said, I do not think these shall ever have an end, they shall endure a long time without withering: His companion said to him: If thou dost not ackowledge this to proceed from God, and if thou be ingrateful towards him that created thee of dust, and made thee a man, thou shalt soone finde thy gardens ruined: this cometh from God my Lord, who hath no companion: all strength and truth proceedeth from his divine Majesty: If I have lesse of substance than thou, God can give me fruits more faire then those of thy gardens, or send thunder that shall destroy them, he shall fill them with water of raine, that shall encompasse them, and hinder thee to approach [them.]
