Wama muhammadun illa rasoolun qad khalat min qablihi alrrusulu afa-in mata aw qutila inqalabtum AAala aAAqabikum waman yanqalib AAala AAaqibayhi falan yadurra Allaha shay-an wasayajzee Allahu alshshakireena\n144. Muhammad is no more\n Than an Apostle: many\n Were the Apostles that passed away\n Before him. If he died\n Or were slain, will ye then\n Turn back on your heels?\n If any did turn back\n On his heels, not the least\n Harm will he do to God;\n But God (on the other hand)\n Will swiftly reward those\n Who (serve him) with gratitude.\n145. Wama kana linafsin an tamoota illa bi-ithni Allahi kitaban mu-ajjalan waman yurid thawaba alddunya nu/tihi minha waman yurid thawaba al-akhirati nu/tihi minha wasanajzee alshshakireena\n145. Nor can a soul die\n Except by God's leave,\nThe term being fixed\n As by writing. If any\n Do desire a reward\n In this life, We shall give it\n To him; and if any\n Do desire a reward\n In the Hereafter, We shall\n Give it to him.\n And swiftly shall We reward\n Those that (serve us with) gratitude.\n146. Wakaayyin min nabiyyin qatala maAAahu ribbiyyoona katheerun fama wahanoo lima asabahum fee sabeeli Allahi wama daAAufoo wama istakanoo waAllahu yuhibbu alssabireena\n146. How many of the Prophets\n Fought (in God's way),\n And with them (fought)\n Large bands of godly men?\n But they never lost heart\n If they met with disaster\n In God's way, nor did\n They weaken (in will)\n Nor give in. And God\n Loves those who are\n Firm and steadfast.\n147. Wama kana qawlahum illa an qaloo rabbana ighfir lana thunoobana wa-israfana fee amrina wathabbit aqdamana waonsurna AAala alqawmi alkafireena\n147. All that they said was:\n \"Our Lord! forgive us\n Our sins and anything\n We may have done\n That transgressed our duty:\n Establish our feet firmly,\n And help us against\n Those that resist\n Faith.\"\n148. Faatahumu Allahu thawaba alddunya wahusna thawabi al-akhirati waAllahu yuhibbu almuhsineena\n148. And God gave them\n A reward in this world,\n And the excellent reward\n Of the Hereafter. For God\n Loveth those who do good.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra III.: \u0100l-i-\u2019Imr\u0101n, or The Family of \u2019Imr\u0101n.: Section 15 (144-148)","type":"page"}
