⁵⁰ Those who heed warning¹ and do righteous deeds: they have pardon and a noble provision.

⁵¹ And those who strive against Our proofs,¹ to frustrate² them: those are the companions of Hell.

⁵² And We sent not before thee any messenger or prophet save that when he desired¹ the satan² cast into his desire.³ But God abolishes⁴ what the satan⁵ casts; then God makes firm His proofs,⁶ — and God is knowing and wise —

⁵³ That He might make what the satan¹ casts a means of denial² for those in whose hearts is disease and those whose hearts are hard, — and the wrongdoers³ are in extreme schism —

⁵⁴ And that those given knowledge might know that it¹ is the truth² from thy Lord, and believe in³ it, and their hearts might humble themselves to Him;⁴ and God guides those who heed warning⁵ to a straight path.⁶

⁵⁵ And those who ignore warning¹ will not cease to be in doubt about it² until the Hour comes upon them unexpectedly, or there comes to them the punishment of a barren day.³

⁵⁶ The dominion, that day, belongs to God; He will judge between them. Then will those who heed warning¹ and do righteous deeds be in the Gardens of Bliss,

⁵⁷ And those who ignore warning¹ and deny Our proofs,² those will have a humiliating punishment.

⁵⁸ And those who emigrated in the cause of God, then were killed or died: God will provide for them a goodly provision; and God, He is the best of providers.

⁵⁹ He will make them enter by an entrance with which they will be satisfied; and God is knowing and clement.

⁶⁰ That[...].¹ And whoso retaliates with the like whereof he was harmed, then is oppressed: God will help him; God is pardoning and forgiving.²

⁶¹ For it is that¹ God makes the night enter into the day, and makes the day enter into the night; and that God is hearing and seeing!

⁶² For it is that¹ God, He is the Truth;² and that that to which they call besides³ Him, it is vanity; and that God, He is the Exalted, the Great!

⁶³ Dost thou not see¹ that God sends down from the sky water, and the earth becomes green? God is subtle and aware.

⁶⁴ To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And God, He is the Free from Need, the Praiseworthy.

⁶⁵ Dost thou not see¹ that God made subject for you what is in the earth, and the ships² run upon the sea by His command? And He holds back the sky lest it fall upon the earth save by His leave; God is to mankind kind and merciful.

⁶⁶ And He it is that gave you life; then will He give you death; then will He give you life. Man is an ingrate.

⁶⁷ For every community We appointed a rite¹ for them to perform. Then let them not dispute with thee concerning the matter. And invite thou to thy Lord; thou art upon right guidance.

⁶⁸ And if they dispute with thee, say thou: “God best knows what you do.

⁶⁹ “God will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein you differ.”

⁷⁰ Knowest thou not that God knows what is in the heaven and the earth? That¹ is in a Writ.² That³ is easy for God.⁴

⁷¹ And they serve, besides¹ God, that for which He has not sent down authority, and that whereof they have no knowledge; and for the wrongdoers² there is no helper.

⁷² And when Our proofs¹ are recited to them as clear signs, thou recognisest perversity² in the faces of those who ignore warning;³ they all but attack those⁴ who recite Our proofs⁵ to them. Say thou: “Then shall I inform you of worse than that? The Fire God has promised to those who ignore warning!⁶ And evil is the journey’s end.”

⁷³ O mankind: a similitude is struck, so listen to it: — those to whom you call, besides¹ God, will never create a fly though they gather together for it.² And if the fly snatch away something from them, they could not recover it from it; weak are the seeker and the sought!

⁷⁴ They measured God not with the measure due¹ Him; God is strong, and exalted in might.

⁷⁵ God chooses from the angels messengers, and from men; God is hearing and seeing.

⁷⁶ He knows what is before them,¹ and what following them; and to God are matters² returned.

⁷⁷ O you who heed warning:¹ be lowly² and submit,³ and serve your Lord, and do good that you might be successful;

⁷⁸ And strive for God with the striving due¹ Him. He has chosen you, and has not placed upon you in doctrine² any distress — the creed of your father Abraham. He named you those submitting³ before, and in this,⁴ that the Messenger⁵ might be a witness to you,⁶ and that you might be witnesses to men.⁷ So uphold the duty,⁸ and render the purity,⁹ and hold fast to God; He is your protector. Then excellent is the Protector! And excellent is the Helper!
