42/Ash-Shura-23: This is of which Allah gives glad tidings to His servants for those who believe (who are âmenû, who wish to reach Allah while they are alive) and do improving deeds (the soul’s cleansing). Say: “I do not ask of you any wage for it (the message) except love in closeness”, and whoever does a good deed, We increase good for him. Surely Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Thanked One.
42/Ash-Shura-24: Or do they forge a lie against Allah? Along with that if Allah wills, He seals your heart and eliminate the falsehood. Fulfill the truth by His Words. Surely He knows well what is in the bosoms.
42/Ash-Shura-25: And He it is Who accepts the repentance of His servants and pardons their evil deeds. And He knows what you do.
42/Ash-Shura-26: And (Allah) answers (the prayers of) those who believe (who are âmenû) and do improving deeds (the soul’s cleansing). And increases for them from His Virtue. And the disbelievers; for them there is a severe torment.
42/Ash-Shura-27: And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His servants, they would certainly go extravagant in the earth. But He sends down as He wills. Surely He is All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.
42/Ash-Shura-28: And He it is Who sends down the rain and spread His Mercy after (they) have despaired. And He is the Friend, the Praised One.
42/Ash-Shura-29: And from among His Signs for Him to create the heavens and the earth, and to multiply and spread the animals in there. And He is All-Powerful to gather them together when He wills.
42/Ash-Shura-30: And whenever a misfortune befalls you, it is due to what your hands have earned (what you have done). Pardons most of (misfortune) them (does not give to you).
42/Ash-Shura-31: And you are not the ones who can make (Allah) weak in the earth and there is not any friend or any helper for you besides Allah.
