| 158. And if you die or be slain, surely unto ALLAH shall you be gathered together. 159. And it is by the great mercy of ALLAH that thou art kind towards them, and if thou hadst been rough and hard-hearted, they would surely have dispersed from around thee. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in matters of administration; and when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in ALLAH. Surely, ALLAH loves those who put their trust in HIM. 160. If ALLAH helps you none can overcome you; but if HE forsakes you, then who is there that can help you beside HIM ? In ALLAH, then, let the believers put their trust. 161. And it is not possible for a Prophet to act dishonestly, and whosoever acts dishonestly shall bring with him that, concerning which he has been dishonest, on the Day of Resurrection. Then every soul shall be fully paid what it has earned; and they shall not be wronged. 162. Is he who follows the pleasure of ALLAH like him who draws on himself the wrath of ALLAH and whose abode is Hell ? And an evil retreat it is ! 163. They have different ranks with ALLAH; and ALLAH sees what they do. 164. Verily, ALLAH has conferred a favour on the believers by raising among them a Messenger from among themselves who recites to them HIS Signs, and purifies them and teaches them the Book and Wisdom; and, before that, they were surely in manifest error. 165. What ! when a misfortune befalls you - and you had already inflicted twice as much - you say, `Whence is this ? Say, `It is from your ownselves.' Surely ALLAH has the power over all things. |
