M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

75. Allah chooses messengers from among the angels and from among the men; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing.

76. He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and to Allah are all affairs turned back.

77. O you who believe! bow down and prostrate yourselves and serve your Lord, and do good that you may succeed.

78. And strive hard in (the way of) Allah, (such) a striving as is due to Him; He has chosen you and has not laid upon you any hardship in religion; the faith of your father Ibrahim; He named you Muslims before and in this, that the Apostle may be a bearer of witness to you, and you may be bearers of witness to the people; therefore keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and hold fast by Allah; He is your Guardian; how excellent the Guardian and how excellent the Helper!
