“Our Lord, we believe in what You have sent down, and we have followed the Messenger; so record us among those who bear witness.” (53)

“Our Lord, we believe in what You have sent down”—from Your Book—“and we have followed the Messenger,” Jesus. “So record us among those who bear witness”: those who testified to the truthfulness of Your prophets. Ata said: “Among the prophets, for every prophet is a witness over his community.”
