وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُعۡجِبُكَ قَوۡلُهُۥ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيُشۡهِدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا فِي قَلۡبِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَلَدُّ ٱلۡخِصَامِ

(2:204) Among people there is a kind whose sayings on the affairs of the
world fascinate you: he calls Allah again and again to bear testimony to his
sincerity;3 yet he is most fierce in enmity.4


وَإِذَا تَوَلَّىٰ سَعَىٰ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيُفۡسِدَ فِيهَا وَيُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡحَرۡثَ وَٱلنَّسۡلَۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡفَسَادَ

(2:205) Whenever he attains authority,5 he goes about the
earth spreading mischief and laying to waste crops and human life, even though
Allah (whose testimony he invokes) does not love mischief.


وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ أَخَذَتۡهُ ٱلۡعِزَّةُ بِٱلۡإِثۡمِۚ فَحَسۡبُهُۥ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَلَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمِهَادُ

(2:206) Whenever he is told: “Fear Allah,” his vainglory seizes him in his
sin. So Hell shall suffice for him; what a wretched resting place!


وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَشۡرِي نَفۡسَهُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ مَرۡضَاتِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ

(2:207) On the other hand, among men there is a kind who dedicates his life
seeking to please Allah; Allah is Immensely Kind to such devoted servants.
