All that is in the heavens and in the earth extols God’s limitless glory: for He alone is the Almighty, the Wise.
Believers! Why do you say what you do not do?
Most loathsome is it in the sight of God that you say what you do not do!
God loves indeed those who fight in His cause in solid ranks, as though they were a firm and compact building.
Now when Moses spoke to his people, he said: ‘My people! Why do you cause me grief, when you know that I am a messenger God has sent to you?’ So, when they swerved from the right way, God let their hearts swerve from the truth. God does not bestow His guidance upon evildoers.
And also Jesus, the son of Mary, said: ‘Children of Israel! I am God’s messenger to you, [sent] to confirm the Torah revealed before me, and to give news of a messenger that will come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad’. But when he came to them with all evidence of the truth, they said: ‘This is plain sorcery’.
Who could be more wicked than one who invents a falsehood about God, when he is only being called upon to submit to Him? God does not bestow His guidance upon the wrongdoers.
They aim to extinguish God’s light with their mouths, but God will spread His light in all its fullness, however hateful this may be to the unbelievers.
It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, so that He may cause it to prevail over all other religions, however hateful this may be to the idolaters.
Believers! Shall I point out to you a bargain that will save you from painful suffering?
You are to believe in God and His Messenger, and to strive hard in God’s cause with your possessions and your lives. This is for your own good, if you but knew it.
He will forgive you your sins, and [in the life to come] will admit you into gardens through which running waters flow, and into goodly mansions in the gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph!
And [He will grant you] yet another thing that you dearly love: help from God and a victory soon to come. Give you the good news to the believers.
Believers! Be helpers [in the cause] of God; just as Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples: ‘Who will be my helpers in God’s cause?’ The disciples said: ‘We shall be [your] helpers in God’s cause’. And so some of the Children of Israel came to believe whereas others denied the truth. But We have given those who believed strength over their enemy and they were the ones to prevail.
