| 109. So be thou not in doubt, O reader, concerning that which these people worship. They only worship as their fathers worshiped before, and WE shall surely pay them in full their portion undiminished. 110. And WE certainly gave Moses the Book, but differences were created therein; and had it not been for a word already gone forth from thy Lord, surely the matter would have been decided between them long before, and now these people are in a disquieting doubt concerning it. 111. Thy Lord will certainly repay them in full, according to their works. HE is surely Well-Aware of all that they do. 112. So stand thou upright, as thou hast been commanded, and also those who have turned to ALLAH with thee; and exceed ye not the bounds, for surely, HE sees what you do. 113. And incline not toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire touch you; and you will have no friend other than ALLAH, nor shall you be helped. 114. And observe Prayer at the two ends of the day, and in some hours of the night. Surely, good works drive away evil ones. This is a reminder for those who would remember. 115. And be thou steadfast; surely, ALLAH suffers not the reward of the righteous to perish. 116. Why, then, were there not among the generations before you persons possessed of understanding, who would have forbidden corruption in the earth, except a few among them whom WE saved ? But the wrongdoers pursued the enjoyment of the good things which they were given in plenty, and they became guilty. 117. And thy Lord would not destroy the cities unjustly while the people thereof were righteous. |
