faces and your hands therewith. Allāh desires not to place a burden on you but He wishes to purify you, and that He may complete His favour on you, so that you may give thanks. |
7 And remember Allāh’s favour on you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said: We have heard and we obey. And keep your duty to Allāh. Surely Allāh knows what is in the breasts. |
8 O you who believe, be upright for Allāh, bearers of witness with justice; and let not hatred of a people incite you not to act equitably. Be just; that is nearer to observance of duty. And keep your duty to Allāh. Surely Allāh is Aware of what you do. |
9 Allāh has promised to those who believe and do good deeds: For them is forgiveness and a mighty reward. |
10 And those who disbelieve and reject Our messages, such are the companions of the flaming fire. |
11 O you who believe, remember Allāh’s favour on you when a people had determined to stretch out their hands against you, but He withheld their hands from you; and keep your duty to Allāh. And on Allāh let the believers rely. |
12 And certainly Allāh made a covenant with the Children of Israel, and We raised up among them twelve chieftains. And Allāh said: Surely I am with you. If you keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and believe in My messengers and assist them and offer to Allāh a goodly gift, I will certainly cover your evil deeds, and cause you to enter Gardens wherein rivers flow. But whoever among you disbelieves after that, he indeed strays from the right way. |
13 But on account of their breaking their covenant We cursed them and hardened their hearts. They alter the words from their places and neglect a portion of that whereof they were reminded. And thou wilt always discover treachery in them excepting a few of them — so pardon them and forgive. Surely Allāh loves those who do good (to others). |
14 And with those who say, We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they neglected a portion of that whereof they were reminded so We stirred up enmity and hatred among them to the day of Resurrection. And Allāh will soon inform them of what they did. |
