*7:148 How the golden calf acquired the sound of a calf is explained in Footnote 20:96.

*7:156 The importance of the obligatory charity (Zakat) cannot be over emphasized.

**7:187 The "Hour" comes "suddenly" only to the disbelievers (See Appendix 11).

*7:205 Your god is whoever or whatever occupies your mind most of the day. This explains the fact that most of those who believe in God are destined for Hell (See 12:106, 23:84-90, and Appendix 27).
