Do they not know that Allah accepts the repentance of His servants
and takes their alms, and thatAllah is the ForgivingOne, theMerciful?
Say: 'Do as you will, Allah will behold your works and so will His
Apostle and the faithful; then you shall return to Himwho knows alike
the unseen and the visible, and He will declare to you all that you have
done.'
There are yet others who must await Allah's decree. He will either
punish or pardon them.AndAllah is Knowing,Wise.
And there are those who built a mosque to cause harm and to spread
1
unbelief and disunite the faithful, and to provide refuge for him who
had made war on Allah and His Apostle before. They swear that their
intentions were good, but Allah bears witness that they are lying. You
shall not set foot in it. It is more fitting that you should pray in a mosque
founded on piety from the very first. There you shall find men who
would keep pure.Allah loves those that purify themselves.
Who is a better man, he who founds his house on the fear ofAllah and
His good pleasure, or he who builds on the brink of a crumbling
precipice, so that it will fall with him into the fire of Hell? Allah does
not guide the wrongdoers.
The edifice which they have built shall ever inspire their hearts with
doubt, until their hearts are cut in pieces.Allah is Knowing,Wise.
Allah has purchased of the faithful their lives and worldly goods in
return for Paradise. They will fight for His cause, slay, and be slain.
Such is the true pledge which He has made them in the Torah, the
