114 There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (in) him who enjoins charity or goodness or reconciliation between people. And whoever does this, seeking Allāh’s pleasure, We shall give him a mighty reward. |
115 And whoever acts hostilely to the Messenger after guidance has become manifest to him and follows other than the way of the believers, We turn him to that to which he (himself) turns and make him enter hell; and it is an evil resort. |
116 Surely Allāh forgives not setting up partners with Him, and He forgives all besides this to whom He pleases. And whoever sets up a partner with Allāh, he indeed goes far astray. |
117 Besides Him they call on nothing but female divinities and they call on nothing but a rebellious devil, |
118 Whom Allāh has cursed. And he said: Certainly I will take of Thy servants an appointed portion; |
119 And certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain desires and bid them so that they will slit the ears of the cattle, and bid them so that they will alter Allāh’s creation. And whoever takes the devil for a friend, forsaking Allāh, he indeed suffers a manifest loss. |
120 He promises them and excites vain desires in them. And the devil promises them only to deceive. |
121 These — their refuge is hell, and they will find no way of escape from it. |
122 And those who believe and do good, We shall make them enter Gardens in which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. It is Allāh’s promise, in truth. And who is more truthful in word than Allāh? |
123 It will not be in accordance with your vain desires nor the vain desires of the People of the Book. Whoever does evil, will be requited for it and will not find for himself besides Allāh a friend or a helper. |
124 And whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, and he (or she) is a believer — these will enter the Garden, and they will not be dealt with a whit unjustly. |
