[A/I`mran 3:122] When two groups among you almost decided to show cowardice - and Allah is their Protector; and in Allah only should the believers trust. [A/I`mran 3:123] Allah indeed aided you at Badr when you had no means; so fear Allah - so that you may be thankful. [A/I`mran 3:124] When you O dear Prophet (Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) said to the believers, “Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord may support you by sending down three thousand angels?” [A/I`mran 3:125] Yes, why not? If you patiently endure and remain pious, and the disbelievers attack you suddenly, your Lord will send down five thousand marked angels to help you. [A/I`mran 3:126] And Allah did not bestow this victory except for your happiness, and only that your hearts may attain peace with it; and there is no help except from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise. [A/I`mran 3:127] So He may cut off a part of the disbelievers, or disgrace them so that they return unsuccessful. [A/I`mran 3:128] This matter is not for you to decide - whether He guides them to repent or punishes them, for they are the unjust. [A/I`mran 3:129] And to Allah only belongs all whatever is in the heavens and all whatever is in the earth; He may forgive whomever He wills, and punish whomever He wills; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful. Section 14 [A/I`mran 3:130] O People who Believe! Do not devour usury doubling and quadrupling it; and fear Allah, hoping that you achieve success. [A/I`mran 3:131] And save yourselves from the fire which is prepared for disbelievers. [A/I`mran 3:132] And obey Allah and the Noble Messenger,
hoping that you gain mercy. (Obeying the Prophet is in fact obeying
Allah.) |
