The Majestic Quran

and provided you with wholesome things so you might be thankful. 27 Believers, don’t betray God and the Messenger knowingly, nor be disloyal to your trusts; 28 and know that your wealth and children are a test , 4 and that God has a great reward in store for you . 29 Believers, if you are mindful of God He will give you the standard to judge between right and wrong , 5 and He will cover up your wrongdoings and forgive you. God is Gracious in His favour. D ’ G 30 Remember when the disbelievers plotted to imprison, kill or expel you. They plotted, and God planned something else, and God is the best of planners. 31 When Our verses are recited to them, they say, “We’ve heard it all before . If we wanted, we could have said something similar. These are just legends of old.” 32 They said, “God, if this is, indeed, the truth from You then pelt us with hailstones from the sky, or fetch us some other painful punishment.” 33 But God will not punish them as long as you, Messenger , are among them; nor will God punish them if they repent and ask forgiveness. 34 However, God will punish them for stopping people from the Sacred Mosque even though they are not its real keepers. Its real keepers are those who are mindful of God , but most of the disbelievers don’t know. 35 Their worship at the Sacred House is merely whistling and clapping. So, taste the punishment for your disbelief. T 36 The disbelievers spend their wealth to stop people from the path of God, they’ll continue doing so until it becomes a source of regret, and they are defeated. The disbelievers will be banished to Hell, 37 so that God may sort out the wicked from the good; and He will pile up the wicked, layer on layer, in a heap and bulldoze them into Hell. Those are the losers. F 38 Tell the disbelievers to stop their wrongdoings so they may be forgiven sins of the past. If they go back to their evil ways , the example of the people of old is there for them . 39 Fight them so there is no more persecution, and people are free to worship God . 6 But if they stop, then God sees what they do, 40 but if they turn away then, know that God is your Protector. What a wonderful Protector, and what a wonderful Helper!
