16 . Those who say : Our Lord! Lo! we believe . So forgive us our sins and guard us from the punishment of Fire ;
|
17 . The steadfast , and the truthful , and the obedient , those who spend ( and hoard not ) , those who pray for pardon in the watches of the night .
|
18 . Allah ( Himself ) is witness that there is no God save Him . And the angels and the men of learning ( too are witness ) . Maintaining His creation in justice , there is no God save Him , the Almighty , the Wise .
|
19 . Lo! religion with Allah ( is ) The Surrender ( to His will and guidance ) . Those who ( formerly ) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them , through transgression among themselves . Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah ( will find that ) Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning .
|
20 . And if they argue with thee , ( O Muhammad ) , say : I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and ( so have ) those who follow me . And say unto those who have received the Scripture and those who read not : Have ye ( too ) surrendered? If they surrender , then truly they are rightly guided , and if they turn away , then it is thy duty only to convey the message ( unto them ) . Allah is Seer of ( His ) bondmen .
|
21 . Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah , and slay the Prophets wrongfully , and slay those of mankind who enjoin equity : promise them a painful doom .
|
22 . Those are they whose works have failed in the world and the Hereafter ; and they have no helpers .
|
23 . Hast thou not seen how those who have received the Scripture invoke the Scripture of Allah ( in their disputes ) that it may judge between them ; then a faction of them turn away , being opposed ( to it ) ?
|
24 . That is because they say : The Fire will not touch us save for a certain number of days . That which they used to invent hath deceived them regarding their religion .
|
25 . How ( will it be with them ) when We have brought them all together to a Day of which there is no doubt , when every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned , and they will not be wronged .
|
26 . Say : O Allah! Owner of Sovereignty! Thou givest sovereignty unto whom Thou wilt , and Thou withdrawest sovereignty from whom Thou wilt . Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt . In Thy hand is the good . Lo! Thou art Able to do all things .
|
27 . Thou causest the night to pass into the day , and Thou causest the day to pass into the night . And Thou bringest forth the living from the dead , and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living . And Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou choosest , without stint .
|
28 . Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers . Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless ( it be ) that ye but guard yourselves against them , taking ( as it were ) security . Allah biddeth you beware ( only ) of Himself . Unto Allah is the journeying .
|
29 . Say , ( O Muhammad ) : Whether ye hide that which is in your breasts or reveal it , Allah knoweth it . He knoweth that which is in the heavens and that which is in the earth , and Allah is Able to do all things .
|
30 . On the day when every soul will find itself confronted with all that it hath done of good and all ' that it hath done of evil ( every soul ) will long that there might be a mighty apace of distance between it and that ( evil ) . Allah biddeth you beware of Him . And Allah is full of pity for ( His ) bondmen .
|
31 . Say , ( O Muhammad , to mankind ) : If ye love Allah , follow me ; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins . Allah is Forgiving , Merciful .
|
32 . Say : Obey Allah and the messenger . But if they turn away , Lo! Allah loveth not the disbelievers ( in His guidance ) .
|
33 . Lo! Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham and the Family of ' Imran above ( all His ) creatures .
|
34 . They were descendants one of another . Allah is Hearer , Knower .
|
35 . ( Remember ) when the wife of Imran said : My Lord I have vowed unto Thee that which is in my belly as a consecrated ( offering ) . Accept it from me . Lo! Thou , only Thou , art the Hearer , the Knower!
