82. Those who belief and mix not up their belief with injustice - it is they who shall have peace, and who are rightly guided. 83. And that is OUR argument which WE gave to Abraham against his people. WE exalt in decrees of rank whomso WE please. Thy Lord is indeed Wise, All-Knowing. 84. And WE gave him Isaac and Jacob; each did WE guide aright, and Noah did WE guide aright aforetime, and of his progeny, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do WE reward those who do good. 85. And WE guided Zachariah and John and Jesus and Elias; each one of them was of the righteous. 86. And WE also guided Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot ! and each one of them did WE exalt above the people. 87. And WE exalted some of their fathers and their children and their brethren, and WE chose them and WE guided them in the straight path. 88. That is the guidance of ALLAH. HE guides thereby those of HIS servants whom HE pleases. And if they had worshiped aught beside HIM, surely all they did would have been of no avail to them. 89. It is to these whom WE gave the Book and dominion and Prophethood. But if they are ungrateful for these favours it matters not, for WE have now entrusted them to a people who are not ungrateful for them. 90. These it is whom ALLAH guide aright, so follow thou their guidance. Say, `I ask not of you any reward for it. This is naught but an admonition for all mankind.' |
