Innama kana qawla almu/mineena itha duAAoo ila Allahi warasoolihi liyahkuma baynahum an yaqooloo samiAAna waataAAna waola-ika humu almuflihoona\n51. The answer of the Believers,\n When summoned to God\n And His Apostle, in order\n That he may judge between them,\n Is no other than this:\n They say, \"We hear and we obey\":\n It is such as these\n That will attain felicity.\n52. Waman yutiAAi Allaha warasoolahu wayakhsha Allaha wayattaqhi faola-ika humu alfa-izoona\n52. It is such as obey\n God and His Apostle,\n And fear God and do\n Right, that will win\n (In the end).\n53. Waaqsamoo biAllahi jahda aymanihim la-in amartahum layakhrujunna qul la tuqsimoo taAAatun maAAroofatun inna Allaha khabeerun bima taAAmaloona\n53. They swear their strongest oaths\n By God that, if only thou\nWouldst command them, they\n Would leave (their homes).\n Say: \"Swear ye not;\n Obedience is (more) reasonable;\n Verily, God is well acquainted\n With all that ye do.\"\n54. Qul ateeAAoo Allaha waateeAAoo alrrasoola fa-in tawallaw fa-innama AAalayhi ma hummila waAAalaykum ma hummiltum wa-in tuteeAAoohu tahtadoo wama AAala alrrasooli illa albalaghu almubeena\n54. Say: \"Obey God, and obey\n The Apostle: but if ye turn\n Away, he is only responsible\n For the duty placed on him\n And ye for that placed\n On you. If ye obey him,\n Ye shall be on right guidance.\n The Apostle's duty is only\n To preach the clear (Message).\n55. WaAAada Allahu allatheena amanoo minkum waAAamiloo alssalihati layastakhlifannahum fee al-ardi kama istakhlafa allatheena min qablihim walayumakkinanna lahum deenahumu allathee irtada lahum walayubaddilannahum min baAAdi khawfihim amnan yaAAbudoonanee la yushrikoona bee shay-an waman kafara baAAda thalika faola-ika humu alfasiqoona\n55. God has promised, to those\n Among you who believe\n And work righteous deeds, that He\n Will, of a surety, grant them\n In the land, inheritance\n (Of power), as He granted it\n To those before them; that\n He will establish in authority\n Their religion\u2014the one\n Which He has chosen for them;\n And that He will change\n (Their state), after the fear\n In which they (lived), to one\nOf security and peace:\n 'They will worship Me (alone)\n And not associate aught with Me.'\n If any do reject Faith\n After this, they are\n Rebellious and wicked.\n56. Waaqeemoo alssalata waatoo alzzakata waateeAAoo alrrasoola laAAallakum turhamoona\n56. So establish regular Prayer\n And give regular Charity;\n And obey the Apostle;\n That ye may receive mercy.\n57. La tahsabanna allatheena kafaroo muAAjizeena fee al-ardi wama/wahumu alnnaru walabi/sa almaseeru\n57. Never think thou\n That the Unbelievers\n Are going to frustrate\n (God's Plan) on earth:\n Their abode is the Fire,\u2014\n And it is indeed\n An evil refuge!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXIV.: N\u016br, or Light.: Section ...","type":"page"}
