| 154. And say not of those who are slain in the way of ALLAH that they are dead; nay they are living, only you perceive not. 155. And WE will try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and fruits; but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. 156. Who, when a misfortune overtakes them, say, `Surely, to ALLAH we belong and to HIM shall we return.' 157. It is these on whom descend blessings from their Lord and also mercy, and it is these that are rightly guided. 158. Surely, Al-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the Signs of ALLAH. It is therefore no sin for him who is on Pilgrimage to the House, or performs Umrah, or go around the two. And whoso does good beyond what is obligatory, surely then, ALLAH is appreciative of good deeds, and All-Knowing. 159. Those who hide what WE have sent down of Signs and guidance after WE have made it clear for the people in the Book, it is these whom ALLAH curses; so curse them those who have the right to curse. 160. But they who repent and amend and openly declare the truth, it is these to whom I turn with forgiveness, and I am Oft-Returning with compassion and Merciful. 161. Those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers, on them shall be the curse of ALLAH and of the angels and of men all together. 162. They shall remain under it. The punishment shall not be lightened for them, nor shall they be granted respite. 163. And your God is One God; there is no God but HE, the Gracious, the Merciful. |
