Gardens to live For ever, Beneath which Rivers Flow

Believers, turn to Allah in sincere repentance; maybe your Lord will

remove your evil deeds from you and admit you to the Gardens

beneath which rivers flow. This will be on the Day when Allah will

not disgrace the Prophet and those who have embraced faith and

are with him; their light will be running before them and on their

right hands, and they will say: "Our Lord, perfect for us our light and

forgive us. Surely You have power over everything." 9}2{ On that Day you will see believing men and women that theirlight will be running before them and on their right hands. (They

will be told): "A good tiding to you today." There shall be

Gardens beneath which rivers flow; therein they shall abide.

shall be in Gardens of Bliss. A humiliating chastisement awaits

those who disbelieved and denied Our Signs. 7}3{ As for those who had believed and did good in the world, theyshall be admitted to the Gardens beneath which rivers flow.

bidden to be joined; who fear their Lord and dread lest they are

subjected to severe reckoning;who are steadfast in seeking the

good pleasure of their Lord; who establish Prayer and spend

both secretly and openly out of the wealth We have provided

them, and who ward off evil with good. Theirs shall be the

ultimate abode - the Ever-lasting Gardens which they shall enter

needy and the wayfarer, for beggars and for the ransom of slaves,

"When will Allah's help come"? (Then they were comforted with

the good tidings): "Yes, Allah's help is near." }}9

We will surely put you to trial by involving you in fear and

hunger and by causing loss of property, life and earnings. And

give good tidings to those who remain steadfast in these trials:when a misfortune comes to them, they say, "We are Allah's and

we shall certainly return to Him, ''Their Lord will bestow great

blessings and mercy upon them; such are the people who are

rightly guided. }6{Allah will surely ascertain who are the believers and who are the

hypocrites.

Disbelievers are not equal to those who believe and do

good, and their lives and deaths are never alike?

}62{ Do the evil-doers imagine that We shall make them equal to

those who believe and do good, making their lives and deaths

alike? How evil is their judgement! Allah created the heavens

and the earth in Truth that each person will be requited for his

deeds. They will not be wronged.

}2}1 Would a true believer be like him who was an evil-doer? Surely

they are not equal. As for those who believe and act righteously,

theirs shall be Gardens to dwell in, a hospitality to reward them

for their deeds. As for the evil-doers, their refuge shall be the

Fire. Every time they want to escape from it they shall be driven

By the time!Lo! Man is in a state of loss;except those who

back and shall be told: "Taste the chastisement of the Fire which

you used to reject as a lie."}}9

We did not create this heaven and earth and all that lies

between them in vain. That is the fancy of those who denied the

Truth. So woe from the Fire to all who deny the Truth.Shall We

then treat alike those that believe and act righteously and those

that create mischief on earth? Or treat alike the God-fearing and

the wicked?

By the time!Lo! Man is in a state of loss;except those who have

faith and do righteous deeds, and counsel each other to hold on

to truth and counsel each other to be steadfast.
