And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then let
there be a pledge taken (mortgaging)[]; then if one of you entrust the other,
let the one who is entrusted discharge his trust (faithfully), and let him be
afraid of Allâh, his Lord. And conceal not the evidence for he, who hides it,
surely his heart is sinful. And Allâh is All-Knower of what you do. (283) To Allâh belongs all
that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and whether you disclose
what is in your ownselves or conceal it, Allâh will call you to account for it.
Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allâh is Able to
do all things. (284) The Messenger (Muhammad SAW) believes in what has been sent down
to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allâh,
His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say), "We make no
distinction between one another of His Messengers" and they say, "We
hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the
return (of all)." (285) Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets
reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil)
which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into
error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those
before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than
we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us.
You are our Maulâ (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory
over the disbelieving people." (286)
