14 Tell those who believe to forgive those who fear not the days of Allāh that He may reward a people for what they earn. |
15 Whoever does good it is for himself, and whoever does evil, it is against himself; then to your Lord you will be brought back. |
16 And certainly We gave the Children of Israel the Book and judgment and prophethood and provided them with good things, and made them excel the nations. |
17 And We gave them clear arguments in the Affair. So they differed not until after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves. Surely thy Lord will judge between them on the day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differed. |
18 Then We made thee follow a course in the Affair, so follow it, and follow not the low desires of those who know not. |
19 Surely they can avail thee naught against Allāh. And surely the wrongdoers are friends of each other, and Allāh is the Friend of the dutiful. |
20 These are clear proofs for men, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who are sure. |
21 Or do those who do evil deeds think that We shall make them as those who believe and do good — their life and their death being equal? Evil is what they judge! |
22 And Allāh created the heavens and the earth with truth, and that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged. |
23 Seest thou him who takes his desire for his god, and Allāh leaves him in error knowingly, and seals his hearing and his heart and puts a covering on his sight? Who can then guide him after Allāh? Will you not mind? |
24 And they say: There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live and nothing destroys us but time, and they have no knowledge of that; they only conjecture. |
25 And when Our clear messages are recited to them, their only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers, if you are truthful. |
