Allah and do not break their pledge; who join together what He has
bidden to be united; who fear their Lord and dread the terrors of
Reckoning-day; and those who for the sake of Allah endure with

shall have a blissful end. They shall enter the Gardens of Eden,
together with the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their
descendants. From every gate the angels will come to them, (saying):
'Peace be to you for all that you have steadfastly endured. Blessed is the
final reward (of Paradise).'
As for those who break Allah's covenant after accepting it, who part
what He has bidden to be united and commit evil in the land, a curse
shall be laid on them, and they shall have an evil abode (inHell).
Allah gives abundantly and sparingly to whom He pleases. Those

life compared to the life to come.
And those who disbelieve say: 'Why has no sign been given him by
his Lord? '
Say: 'Allah leaves in error whom He will, and guides those who
repent and have faith and whose hearts find comfort in the
remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah all hearts
are comforted. Blessed are those who have faith and do good works;
blissful their end.'

passed away, that you may recite to them Our revelations. Yet they
