But those who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them into gardens with rivers flowing beneath them, where they will remain forever. Allah’s promise is true. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s?
It is not according to your wishes or the wishes of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does wrong will be repaid for it and will find no protector or helper besides Allah.
But whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer, will enter the Garden and will not be wronged even by the tiny mark on a date stone.
Who is better in faith than one who submits themselves completely to Allah, does good, and follows the way of Abraham, turning away from all falsehood? Allah took Abraham as a close friend.
They ask you for a ruling concerning women. Say, “Allah gives you a ruling concerning them, as does what is recited to you in the Scripture about orphan girls to whom you do not give what has been prescribed for them while you desire to marry them, and about helpless children. You are commanded to uphold justice for orphans. Whatever good you do, Allah knows it well.”
If a woman fears neglect or turning away from her husband, there is no blame on them if they reach a fair settlement between themselves. Reconciliation is better. Human souls are prone to selfishness. But if you do good and are mindful of Allah, then Allah is fully aware of what you do.
You will never be able to be perfectly equal between wives, no matter how much you desire it. So do not incline completely toward one and leave another hanging. If you make amends and are mindful of Allah, then Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. We instructed those who were given the Scripture before you, and you as well, to be mindful of Allah. But if you reject faith, then to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
Believers, stand firmly for justice as witnesses for Allah, even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Whether someone is rich or poor, Allah has greater claim over both. So do not follow desire and depart from justice. If you distort your testimony or turn away, Allah is fully aware of what you do.
Believers, believe in Allah, His Messenger, the Scripture He sent down to His Messenger, and the Scripture He sent down before. Whoever rejects Allah, His angels, His Scriptures, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly strayed far away.
As for those who believe, then reject faith, then believe, then reject faith, and then increase in rejection, Allah will neither forgive them nor guide them to a way.
He has already sent down to you in the Scripture that when you hear Allah’s verses being rejected and mocked, do not sit with those people until they move on to another subject. Otherwise, you would become like them. Allah will surely gather the hypocrites and those who reject faith together in Hell.
They wait to see what happens to you. If you gain a victory from Allah, they say, “Were we not with you?” But if those who reject faith gain some success, they say, “Did we not have influence over you and protect you from the believers?” Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection. Allah will never give those who reject faith a way to overcome the believers.
The hypocrites try to deceive Allah, but He turns their deception back on them. When they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing off to people, and they remember Allah only a little.
