Those who say: "Our Lord! We have indeed believed, so forgive
us our sins and save us from the punishment of the Fire." (16) (They are) those who
are patient, those who are true (in Faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with
sincere devotion in worship to Allâh. Those who spend [give the Zakât and alms
in the Way of Allâh] and those who pray and beg Allâh's Pardon in the last
hours of the night. (17) Allâh bears witness that Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the
right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge
(also give this witness); (He always) maintains His creation in Justice. Lâ
ilâh illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the
All-Wise. (18) Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm. Those who were given
the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual
jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayât
(proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, then surely,
Allâh is Swift in calling to account. (19) So if they dispute with you (Muhammad
SAW) say: "I have submitted myself to Allâh (in Islâm), and (so have)
those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture (Jews
and Christians) and to those who are illiterates (Arab pagans): "Do you
(also) submit yourselves (to Allâh in Islâm)?" If they do, they are
rightly guided; but if they turn away, your duty is only to convey the Message;
and Allâh is All-Seer of (His ) slaves[] (20) Verily! Those who disbelieve in the
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh
and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just
dealings, … then announce to them a painful torment. (21) They are those whose
works will be lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no
helpers. (22)
