The Majestic Quran

60 Haven’t you seen those who claim to believe in what is revealed to you and what was revealed before you, yet they turn to false gods for judgements despite having been ordered to reject them. Satan wants to lead them far from the right way. 61 If they are told, “Come along to listen to what God has revealed to the Messenger, you will see the hypocrites turning to face in the opposite direction from you.” 62 But when a disaster strikes them because of what they have done, they turn to you swearing by God: “We only want what is best and to maintain harmony.” 63 God knows what is in these peoples’ hearts, so, forgive them, warn them, and speak eloquently with them so it penetrates their minds. T M r 64 We haven’t sent a single messenger except that he should be obeyed as commanded by God. If anyone who wronged themselves came to you seeking God’s forgiveness, Messenger, seek forgiveness for them! They will find God Relenting, Most Kind. 65 By your Lord, they aren’t believers until they make you the judge in their disputes, accept your decision without reservation, and commit themselves to your decision . T P r 66 If We had ordered them: “Lay down your lives,” or “Leave your homes,” for the sake of God only a few of them would have done so . 18 Had they done what they were told , that would have been better for them and put them on a far firmer footing; 67 We would have given them a great reward, 68 and guided them on the straight path. 69 Anyone who obeys God and the Messenger shall be with those God favoured: the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous. What a wonderful fellowship! 70 Such is God’s grace; and God is sufficient, the Knower. J 71 Believers, take all precautions and let the battle-hardened march out in front or else march out together. 72 There are some of you who lag behind and if you suffered a setback, will say, “It was God’s favour on me that I wasn’t there with them.” 73 When God favours you, he will say, “If only I had been with them, I would have gained a great victory,” as though there was no love lost between you and him. 74 So those who are willing to swap this worldly life for the Hereafter, let them fight in the way of God.
