We move on to Surat Ali Imran and our first

Powerful or Similitude which is verse number 101.

And in this verse, it is preceded by verse 100.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in verse 100,

to set up the Powerful or to set up this

Similitude.

Allah says, O you who believe, Ya Iwali,

then I will take Allah's Hakka to katihe,

wa la tamutunna illa wa antumuslimoon.

Behave the takwa of Allah the way that it is worthy

or deserving that you have takwa of Allah

and do not die except in the state of Islam.

Then verse 101 begins the Powerful or the Similitude.

Wa atasimu bi hablillahi jami'an.

And all of you hold on to the rope of Allah.

Obviously, rope is symbolic here.

There's no actual rope dangling down.

All of you hold on to the rope of Allah.

Wa atasimu bi hablillahi jami'an.

Wa la tafarraku.

And don't divide amongst yourselves.
