(42:7) And thus did We reveal this Arabic Qur'an8 to you that

But He admits whomsoever He pleases into His Mercy. As to those given to wrong-doing,
they shall have none as protector or helper.1

(42:13) He has prescribed for you the religion which He enjoined upon Noah
and which We revealed to you (O Muhammad), and which We enjoined upon Abraham
and Moses and Jesus, commanding: “Establish this religion and do not split up
regarding it.”0 What you are calling to is very hard upon those
who associate others with Allah in His Divinity. Allah chooses for Himself whomsoever
He pleases and guides to Himself whoever penitently turns to Him.1

time, the matter between them would surely have been decided once and for all.4
Indeed those who were later made the heirs of the Book are in disquieting doubt
about it.5

be steadfast about it as you were commanded, and do not follow their desires,6
and say (to them): “I believe in the Book Allah has sent down.7
I have been commanded to establish justice among you.8 Allah is
our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds and you have your deeds.9
There is no contention between us and you.0 Allah will bring us
all together. To Him all are destined to return.”

far in error.

(42:21) Do they have any associates (of Allah) who have laid down for them
a way pertaining to faith which Allah did not sanction?8 But for
the fact that a decree had already been made, the matter between them would

wrong-doers.9

(42:22) You will see the wrongdoers fearful of the consequence of their deeds

desire from their Lord; that is the great Bounty.

those who are wont to be steadfast and give thanks.3

(42:48) (O Prophet), if they turn away from the Truth, know that We did not
send you to them as their overseer.4 Your task is only to convey
(the Message). Indeed when We give man a taste of Our Mercy, he exults in it.
But if any misfortune afflicts them on account of their deeds, man is utterly
ungrateful.5
