Wayaqoolu allatheena amanoo lawla nuzzilat sooratun fa-itha onzilat sooratun muhkamatun wathukira feeha alqitalu raayta allatheena fee quloobihim maradun yanthuroona ilayka nathara almaghshiyyi AAalayhi mina almawti faawla lahum\n20. Those who believe say,\n \"Why is not a S\u016bra\n Sent down (for us)?\"\n But when a S\u016bra\n Of basic or categorical\n Meaning is revealed,\n And fighting is mentioned\n Therein, thou wilt see those\n In whose hearts is a disease\n Looking at thee with a look\n Of one in swoon at\n The approach of death.\n But more fitting for them\u2014\n21. TaAAatun waqawlun maAAroofun fa-itha AAazama al-amru falaw sadaqoo Allaha lakana khayran lahum\n21. Were it to obey\n And say what is just,\n And when a matter\n Is resolved on, it were\n Best for them if they\n Were true to God.\n22. Fahal AAasaytum in tawallaytum an tufsidoo fee al-ardi watuqattiAAoo arhamakum\n22. Then, is it\n To be expected of you,\n If ye were put in authority,\n That ye will do mischief\n In the land, and break\n Your ties of kith and kin?\n23. Ola-ika allatheena laAAanahumu Allahu faasammahum waaAAma absarahum\n23.\n24. Afala yatadabbaroona alqur-ana am AAala quloobin aqfaluha\n24. Do they not then\n Earnestly seek to understand\n The Qur-\u0101n, or are\n Their hearts locked up\n By them?\n25. Inna allatheena irtaddoo AAala adbarihim min baAAdi ma tabayyana lahumu alhuda alshshaytanu sawwala lahum waamla lahum\n25. Those who turn back\n As apostates after Guidance\n Was clearly shown to them,\u2014\n The Evil One has instigated\n Them and buoyed them up\n With false hopes.\n26. Thalika bi-annahum qaloo lillatheena karihoo ma nazzala Allahu sanuteeAAukum fee baAAdi al-amri waAllahu yaAAlamu israrahum\n26. This, because they said\n To those who hate what\n God has revealed, \"We\n Will obey you in part\n Of (this) matter\"; but God\n Knows their (inner) secrets.\n27. Fakayfa itha tawaffat-humu almala-ikatu yadriboona wujoohahum waadbarahum\n27. But how (will it be)\n When the angels take\n Their souls at death,\n And smite their faces\n And their backs?\n28. Thalika bi-annahumu ittabaAAoo ma askhata Allaha wakarihoo ridwanahu faahbata aAAmalahum\n28. This because they followed\n That which called forth\n The Wrath of God, and\n They hated God's good pleasure;\n So He made their deeds\n Of no effect.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XLVII.: Mu\u1e25ammad (the Prophet).: Section 3 (20-28)","type":"page"}
