Say: "Obey Allâh and obey the Messenger, but if you turn
away, he (Messenger Muhammad SAW) is only responsible for the duty placed on
him (i.e. to convey Allâh's Message) and you for that placed on you. If you
obey him, you shall be on the right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to
convey (the message) in a clear way (i.e. to preach in a plain way)." (54) Allâh has promised those
among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly
grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, as He granted it to
those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their
religion, which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islâm). And He will surely give
them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers)
worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship)
with Me. But whoever disbelieves after this, they are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious,
disobedient to Allâh). (55) And perform As¬Salât (Iqâmat¬as¬Salât), and give Zakât
and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may receive mercy (from Allâh).
(56) Consider not that the
disbelievers can escape in the land. Their abode shall be the Fire,- and worst indeed is that destination. (57) O you who believe!
Let your slaves and slave-girls, and those among you who have not come to the
age of puberty ask your permission (before they come to your presence) on three
occasions; before Fajr (morning) Salât (prayer), and while you put off your
clothes for the noonday (rest), and after the 'Ishâ' (late-night) Salât
(prayer). (These) three times are of privacy for you, other than these times
there is no sin on you or on them to move about, attending to each other. Thus
Allâh makes clear the Ayât (the Verses of this Qur'ân, showing proofs for the
legal aspects of permission for visits) to you. And Allâh is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. (58)
