92: O YE TWO BELIEVERS IN GOD! THE LORD, PEERLESS IS ...

O ye two believers in God! The Lord, peerless is He, hath made woman and

man to abide with each other in the closest companionship, and to be even

as a single soul. They are two helpmates, two intimate friends, who should

be concerned about the welfare of each other.

If they live thus, they will pass through this world with perfect

contentment, bliss, and peace of heart, and become the object of divine

grace and favour in the Kingdom of heaven. But if they do other than this,

they will live out their lives in great bitterness, longing at every

moment for death, and will be shamefaced in the heavenly realm.

Strive, then, to abide, heart and soul, with each other as two doves in

the nest, for this is to be blessed in both worlds.
