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)

followed you, and I will be a witness against you, and against them: Such as go astray from the right way, shall be wicked; Desire they to observe any other Law, than that of God? Whatever is in Heaven, or Earth, obeyeth him; either willingly, or by force: And you shall all one day appear before him, to be judged: Say to them, We believe in God, in what he hath inspired into us, in what he inspired into Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, in what was ordained by Moses, by Jesus, and generally all the Prophets from God; and we are wholly resigned to his pleasure. The Sacrifices of them that desire to follow other Law, than the Law of Salvation, shall not be accepted; they shall be in the other world, in the number of the damned. God guided not those that followed impiety, after they had professed his Law; and having seen, and testified that the Prophet is true, by signs, clear and evident, that appeared to them. God guideth not the unjust, they shall be for ever cursed of his Divine Majesty, of Angels, and of all the world; they shall finde no relaxation of their torments, and at the day of judgment be deprived of protection; except such as shall be converted, and do good works, God shall be to them gracious and merciful. Such as shall be impious towards Jesus, having believed the Books of Moses, and shall augment their impiety against Mahomet, shall never be converted, they shall erre eternally. All the treasures of the Earth shall not be able to save the wicked that die in their impiety, great punishments are prepared for them, and none of them shall be able to protect them. You shall not be justified, until you have dispensed in pious works, part of the goods you possess. God will take notice of the alms you bestow. All meats were permitted the children of Israel, except what Israel forbad to himself, before the Old Testament; Say to them, Come, and bring the Old Testament, and consider it, it will appear if you speak the Truth. These that shall afterwards blaspheme against God, shall be exceedingly too blame, Say, God hath spoken Truth, follow ye the Law of Abraham, that is pleasing to him: He professed the unity of his Divine Majesty; he was not of them that believed in many Gods
