But they are not all alike. There are some among the People of the Book who are upright, who recite God’s revelations during the night, who bow down in worship
Translation 1260
One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
But they are not all alike. There are some among the People of the Book who are upright, who recite God’s revelations during the night, who bow down in worship
Translation 1260
who believe in God and the Last Day, who order what is right and forbid what is wrong, who are quick to do good deeds. These people are among the righteous
Translation 1260
and they will not be denied [the reward] for whatever good deeds they do: God knows exactly who is conscious of Him
Translation 1260
As for those who disbelieve, neither their possessions nor their children will help them against God- they will be companions in the Fire, there to remain
Translation 1260
and whatever they give away in this life will be nullified: a frosty wind strikes and destroys the harvest of people who have wronged themselves. It was not God who wronged them; they wronged themselves
Translation 1260
You who believe, do not take for your intimates such outsiders as spare no effort to ruin you and want to see you suffer: their hatred is evident from their mouths, but what their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made Our revelations clear for you; will you not use your reason
Translation 1260
This is how it is: here you are, you love them, but they do not love you; you believe in all the Scriptures and when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe,’ but when they are alone, they bite their fingertips in rage at you. [Prophet], say, ‘Die of rage [if you wish]!’ God knows exactly what is in everyone’s hearts
Translation 1260
They grieve at any good that befalls you [believers] and rejoice at your misfortunes. But if you are steadfast and conscious of God, their scheming will not harm you in the least: God encircles everything they do
Translation 1260
[Prophet], remember when you left your home at dawn to assign battle positions to the believers: God hears and knows everything
Translation 1260
Remember when two groups of you were about to lose heart and God protected them- let the believers put their trust in God
Translation 1260
God helped you at Badr when you were very weak. Be mindful of God, so that you may be grateful
Translation 1260
Remember when you said to the believers, ‘Will you be satisfied if your Lord reinforces you by send-ing down three thousand angels
Translation 1260
Well, if you are steadfast and mindful of God, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand swooping angels if the enemy should suddenly attack you!’ and God arranged it so
Translation 1260
as a message of hope for you [believers] to put your hearts at rest- help comes only from God, the Mighty, the Wise
Translation 1260
and in order to cut off the flanks of the disbelievers’ army and frustrate them, to make them withdraw in total defeat
Translation 1260
Whether God relents towards them or punishes them is not for you [Prophet] to decide: they are wrongdoers
Translation 1260
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. He forgives whoever He will and punishes whoever He will: God is most forgiving and merciful
Translation 1260
You who believe, do not consume usurious interest, doubled and redoubled. Be mindful of God so that you may prosper
Translation 1260
beware of the Fire prepared for those who ignore [Him]
Translation 1260
and obey God and the Prophet so that you may be given mercy
Translation 1260
