the resting-place.

19 Is he who knows that what is revealed to thee from thy Lord is the truth like him who is blind? Only men of understanding mind —

20 Those who fulfil the pact of Allāh, and break not the covenant,

21 And those who join that which Allāh has bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord, and fear the evil reckoning.

22 And those who are steadfast seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and keep up prayer and spend of that which We have given them, secretly and openly, and repel evil with good; for such is the (happy) issue of the abode —

23 Gardens of perpetuity, which they will enter along with those who do good from among their fathers and their spouses and their offspring; and the angels will enter in upon them from every gate.

24 Peace be to you, because you were constant — how excellent is then the final Abode!

25 And those who break the covenant of Allāh after its confirmation, and cut asunder that which Allāh has ordered to be joined, and make mischief in the land, for them is the curse, and theirs is the evil end of the Abode.

26 Allāh amplifies and straitens provision for whom He pleases. And they rejoice in this world’s life. And this world’s life, compared with the Hereafter, is only a temporary enjoyment.

27 And those who disbelieve say: Why is not a sign sent down to him by his Lord? Say: Allāh leaves in error whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him) —

28 Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allāh. Now surely in Allāh’s remembrance do hearts find rest.

29 Those who believe and do good, a good final state is theirs and a goodly return.

30 Thus We have sent thee among a nation before which other nations have passed away, that thou mightest recite to them what We have revealed to thee, and (still) they deny the Beneficent. Say: He is my Lord, there is no god but He; in Him do I trust and to Him is my return.
