212 Surely they are far removed from hearing it. |
213 So call not upon another god with Allāh, lest thou be of those who are chastised. |
214 And warn thy nearest relations, |
215 And lower thy wing to the believers who follow thee. |
216 But if they disobey thee, say: I am clear of what you do. |
217 And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful, |
218 Who sees thee when thou standest up, |
219 And thy movements among those who prostrate themselves. |
220 Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing. |
221 Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend? |
222 They descend upon every lying, sinful one — |
223 They give ear, and most of them are liars. |
224 And the poets — the deviators follow them. |
225 Seest thou not that they wander in every valley, |
226 And that they say that which they do not? |
227 Except those who believe and do good and remember Allāh much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed. And they who do wrong, will know to what final place of turning they will turn back. |
1 Benignant, Hearing God! These are the verses of the Qur’ān and the Book that makes manifest: |
2 A guidance and good news for the believers, |
3 Who keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and they are sure of the Hereafter. |
4 Those who believe not in the Hereafter, We make their deeds fair-seeming to them, but they blindly wander on. |
5 These are they for whom is an evil chastisement, and in the Hereafter they are the greatest losers. |
