—and to heap abuse upon Him, to deny His servant and Messenger⦗1⦘, to oppose His party and His friends, to befriend Satan, and to exchange the worship of the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful for the worship of images and crosses; to replace the proclamation “Allah is Greatest” with tracing the cross upon the face; to substitute for the recitation, “All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds (2), the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful (3), Master of the Day of Judgment,” the plea, “O Allah, give us the bread (3) that is suited to us”; and to forsake prostration before the One, the All-Subjugating, in favor of bowing before pictures daubed on a wall in red, yellow, and lapis-lazuli.
