Not by the smallest ant's weight will Allah wrong (any man). He that
does a good deed shall be repaid twofold. Allah will bestow on him a
rich recompense.
Howwill it be when we produce a witness from every nation and call
upon you to testify against them? On that day those who disbelieved
and disobeyed the Apostle will wish that they were levelled into dust;
they shall hide nothing fromAllah.
Believers, do not approach your prayers when you are drunk, but wait
till you can grasp the meaning of your words; nor when you are
polluted-unless you are travelling the road-until you have washed
yourselves. If you are ill or have relieved yourselves or had intercourse
with women while travelling and can find no water, take some clean
sand and rub your faces and your hands with it, Allah is Pardoning,
Forgiving.
Consider those to whom a portion of the Book was given. They
purchase error and wish to see you led astray. But Allah best knows
your enemies.You need none else to protect or help you.
Some Jews take words out of their context and say: 'We hear, but
1
disobey. May you be bereft of hearing.
Ra'ina!
' - thus distorting the
phrase with their tongues and reviling the true faith. But if they said:
2
'We hear and obey: hear us and
undhurna,
' it would be better and more
proper for them. But Allah has cursed them in their unbelief. They do
not believe except a little.
