Alex's POV

"Now the translation," Youssef says once he is done reciting and gets up to grab another book, "I got this for you when you told me you wanted to read the Qur'an." He hands the book to me and I notice it was like the Qur'an but translated into English.

Translation

1. The Most Beneficent (Allah)!

2. Has taught (you mankind) the Qur'an (by His Mercy).

3. He created man.

8. In order that you may not transgress (due) balance.

9. And observe the weight with equity and do not make the balance deficient.

10. And the earth He has put for the creatures.
