Basic HTML Version
Those who dispute Our revelations shall know that they have no
escape.
That which you have been given is but the fleeting comfort of this
life. Better and more enduring is that which Allah has for those who
believe and put their trust in Him; who avoid gross sins and
indecencies and, when angered, are willing to forgive; who obey their
Lord, attend to their prayers, and conduct their affairs by mutual
consent; who bestow in alms a part of that which We have given them
and, when oppressed, seek to redress their wrongs.
Let evil be rewarded with like evil. But he that forgives and seeks
reconcilement shall be rewarded by Allah. He does not love the
wrongdoers.
Those who avenge themselves when wronged incur no guilt. But
great is the guilt of those who oppress their fellowmen and conduct
themselves with wickedness and injustice. These shall be sternly
punished.
To endure with fortitude and to forgive is an act of great resolution.
He whomAllah leaves in error has none to protect him.
You will see the wrongdoers as they face the punishment say: 'Is
there no way back? ' You shall see them brought before it (the Fire)
humbled by shame and looking upon it with a stealthy glance. The true
believers will say: 'Great indeed is the loss of those who forfeited their
souls and all their kindred on the Day of Resurrection.'
The wrongdoers shall suffer an everlasting punishment. They shall
have no friends to help them besides Allah. He whom Allah leaves in
error cannot find a way.
Hearken to your Lord before that day arrives which none can defer
