| 12. And think of the day when thou wilt see the believing men and the believing women, their light running before them and on their right hands, and angels will say to them, `Glad tidings for you this day of Gardens through which streams flow, wherein you will abide. That is the supreme triumph.' 13. That is the day when the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women will say to those who believe, `Wait for us a while that we may borrow some of your light,' it will be said to them, `Go back if you can, and seek for light.'

The hypocrites will call out to believers saying, `Were we not with you ?' The believers will answer, `Yea, but you let yourselves fall into temptation and you hesitated and doubted and your vain desires deceived you till the decree of ALLAH came to pass. And the deceiver deceived you concerning ALLAH. 15. `So this day no ransom shall be accepted from you, nor from those who disbelieved. Your final abode is the Fire; that is your comrade; and an evil destination it is.' 16. Has not the time yet arrived for those who believe that their hearts should feel humbled at the remembrance of ALLAH and at the truth which has come down to them, and that they should not become like those who were given the Book before them, but because the period of the bestowal of ALLAH's grace upon them was prolonged for them, their hearts became hardened, and many of them became rebellious ? 17. Know, then, that ALLAH quickens the earth after its death. WE have made the Signs manifest to you, that you may understand. 18. Surely, the men who give alms and the women who give alms, and those who lend to ALLAH a goodly loan - it will be increased manifold for them, and theirs will also be a honourable reward - |
