But those who break Allah's covenant after confirming it, cut what Allah has commanded to be joined, and spread corruption on earth, they will have the curse, and theirs will be the miserable Home.
Allah expands provision for whoever He wills and restricts it. They rejoice in the life of this world, but compared with the Hereafter, the life of this world is only a brief enjoyment.
Those who reject faith say, 'Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord?' Say, 'Allah lets whoever He wills go astray and guides to Himself whoever turns back to Him,'
In this way We have sent you to a community before which other communities have passed away, so that you may recite to them what We have revealed to you, while they reject the Most Merciful. Say, 'He is my Lord. There is no god except Him. In Him I trust, and to Him I turn.'
Even if there were a Quran by which mountains were moved, the earth split apart, or the dead made to speak, all command belongs to Allah. Have the believers not realized that, had Allah willed, He could have guided all people? Disaster will continue to strike those who reject faith because of what they have done, or come close to their homes, until Allah's promise comes. Allah never fails in His promise.
Is the One who watches over every soul and what it earns like any other? Yet they assign partners to Allah. Say, 'Name them. Or are you telling Him of something on earth He does not know, or is it only empty words?' Rather, the scheming of those who reject faith has been made attractive to them, and they have been turned away from the path. Whoever Allah lets go astray has no guide.
The description of the Garden promised to those mindful of Allah: rivers flow beneath it, its food is everlasting, and so is its shade. That is the final outcome for those who are mindful of Allah, while the final outcome for those who reject faith is the Fire.
Those to whom We gave the Scripture rejoice in what has been sent down to you, while among the factions are some who reject part of it. Say, 'I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him. To Him I call, and to Him is my return.'
In this way We have sent it down as an Arabic judgment. If you were to follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you would have no protecting ally or defender against Allah.
We certainly sent messengers before you and gave them spouses and children. No messenger could bring a sign except by Allah's permission. For every appointed time there is a decree.
Whether We show you some of what We have promised them or cause you to die before that, your duty is only to deliver the message, and Ours is the reckoning.
Those before them also schemed, but all planning belongs to Allah. He knows what every soul earns. Those who reject faith will soon know who will have the final Home.
Those who reject faith say, 'You are not a messenger.' Say, 'Allah is enough as a witness between me and you, and so is whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.'
