وَلَنَبلُوَنَّكُم حَتّىٰ نَعلَمَ المُجاهِدينَ مِنكُم وَالصّابِرينَ وَنَبلُوَ أَخبارَكُم
We will surely test you, until We ascertain those among you who strive their best, and the patient ones, and We will test your reports.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا وَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَشاقُّوا الرَّسولَ مِن بَعدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الهُدىٰ لَن يَضُرُّوا اللَّهَ شَيئًا وَسَيُحبِطُ أَعمالَهُم
Those who disbelieve, deter others from God’s path, and oppose the Messenger after guidance has become clear to them, won’t harm God in the slightest. He will nullify their deeds.
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا أَطيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعُوا الرَّسولَ وَلا تُبطِلوا أَعمالَكُم
O you who believe, obey God and the Messenger, and don’t invalidate your deeds.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا وَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ ماتوا وَهُم كُفّارٌ فَلَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُم
Those who disbelieve, hinder others from God’s path, and die as unbelievers: God won’t forgive them.
فَلا تَهِنوا وَتَدعوا إِلَى السَّلمِ وَأَنتُمُ الأَعلَونَ وَاللَّهُ مَعَكُم وَلَن يَتِرَكُم أَعمالَكُم
So don’t slacken and call for peace while you have the upper hand. God is with you, and He will not undermine your deeds.
إِنَّمَا الحَياةُ الدُّنيا لَعِبٌ وَلَهوٌ ۚ وَإِن تُؤمِنوا وَتَتَّقوا يُؤتِكُم أُجورَكُم وَلا يَسأَلكُم أَموالَكُم
The life of this world is but a game and distraction. However, if you believe and act righteously, He will give you your rewards, and He won’t ask you for your possessions.
إِن يَسأَلكُموها فَيُحفِكُم تَبخَلوا وَيُخرِج أَضغانَكُم
If He were to demand it from you, and press upon you, you would become stingy, and He will bring out your ill-wills.
ها أَنتُم هـٰؤُلاءِ تُدعَونَ لِتُنفِقوا في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ فَمِنكُم مَن يَبخَلُ ۖ وَمَن يَبخَل فَإِنَّما يَبخَلُ عَن نَفسِهِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ الغَنِيُّ وَأَنتُمُ الفُقَراءُ ۚ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوا يَستَبدِل قَومًا غَيرَكُم ثُمَّ لا يَكونوا أَمثالَكُم
Here you are, being called upon to spend in the way of God, and some among you are being stingy. Whoever holds back, it’s to his loss. God is the Rich, and you are the needy. If you turn away, He will replace you with other people, and they will not be like you.
