The Majestic Quran

replace you with others. God has the power to do that. 134 Whoever desires the reward of this world only , then let him know that the reward of this world and of the Hereafter are with God. God is the Hearer, the Seeing. S 135 Believers, stand up as God’s witnesses for justice even if it’s against yourselves, parents or relatives, and regardless of whether a person is wealthy or poor, God has more right to your loyalty than they. Therefore, do not follow your desire instead of being just. If you distort the truth or refuse to give testimony , God is aware of what you do. 136 Believers, believe firmly in God and His Messenger and in the Book that He has sent down to His Messenger and in the Book He sent before. Whoever rejects God, His Angels, His books, His messengers and the Last Day has gone far astray. T 137 Those who believed then disbelieved, then believed again , then disbelieved, then increased yet further in disbelief, God will not forgive nor guide them towards His way. 138 Give glad tidings of painful punishment to the hypocrites, 139 who have taken disbelievers as their allies instead of the believers. Do they seek strength from them, when strength is God’s? 140 God revealed in the Book, when you hear God’s verses being rejected or mocked, do not sit with them till they turn to another topic of conversation; otherwise you will be like them. God will gather all the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell. 141 They are waiting to see what happens to you; if victory from God comes to you they will say: “Were we not with you?” And if the disbelievers gain some success, they will say to them: “Didn’t we encourage you and protect you against the believers?” God will decide between you on the Day of Judgement; however, God will never give the disbelievers a way to a conclusive victory over the believers. H 142 The hypocrites try to deceive God, but He leaves them in their deception ; thus whenever they stand up for the prayer, they do so lazily, making a show for the people and they remember God little; 143 dithering between this and that, they are neither with these believers nor with those disbelievers . Whoever God allows to go astray, you can’t ever guide him.
