| 23. This it is whereof ALLAH gives the glad tidings to HIS servants who believe and do good works. Say, `I ask of you no reward for my service to you, except such love as subsist between kindred. And whoso earns a good deed, WE give him increase of good therein. Surely, ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Most Appreciating. 24. Do they say, `He has forged a lie against ALLAH ?' If ALLAH had so willed, HE could seal thy heart. But ALLAH blots out falsehood through thee and establishes the truth by HIS words. Surely, HE knows quite well what is in the breasts. 25. And HE it is Who accepts repentance from HIS servants and forgives sins. And HE knows what you do. 26. And HE accepts the prayers of those who believe and do good works, and gives them more than their due reward, out of HIS grace; and the disbelievers will have a severe punishment. 27. And if ALLAH should greatly enlarge the provision for HIS servants, they would rebel in the earth; but HE sends down according to a proper measure as HE pleases. Indeed, HE is All-Aware and All-Seeing of the condition of His servants. 28. And HE it is Who sends down rain after they have despaired of it and spreads out his mercy. And HE is the Protector, the Praiseworthy. 29. And among HIS signs is the creation of the Heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures HE has spread forth in both. And HE has the power to gather them together whenever HE pleases. 30. And whatever misfortune befalls you is the consequence of what your own hands have wrought. And HE forgives many of your sins. 31. And you cannot frustrate God's purpose in the earth, nor have you any friend or helper beside ALLAH. |
