51 This is for that which your own hands have sent on before, and because Allāh is not in the least unjust to the servants —

52 In the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before them, they disbelieved in Allāh’s messages, so Allāh punished them for their sins. Surely Allāh is Strong, Severe in requiting.

53 This is because Allāh never changes a favour which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition — and because Allāh is Hearing, Knowing —

54 In the manner of the people of Pharaoh, and those before them. They rejected the messages of their Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins. And We drowned Pharaoh’s people and they were all wrongdoers.

55 Surely the vilest of beasts in Allāh’s sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe.

56 Those with whom thou makest an agreement, then they break their agreement every time, and they keep not their duty.

57 So if thou overtake them in war, scatter by them those who are behind them, that they may be mindful.

58 And if thou fear treachery on the part of a people, throw back to them (their treaty) on terms of equality. Surely Allāh loves not the treacherous.

59 And let not those who disbelieve think that they can outstrip (Us). Surely they cannot escape.

60 And make ready for them whatever force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allāh and your enemy and others besides them, whom you know not — Allāh knows them. And whatever you spend in Allāh’s way, it will be paid back to you fully and you will not be wronged.

61 And if they incline to peace, incline thou also to it, and trust in Allāh. Surely He is the Hearer, the Knower.

62 And if they intend to deceive thee, then surely Allāh is sufficient for thee. He it is Who strengthened thee with His help and with the believers,
