Have you not seen those who have been given a portion of the
Scripture? They are being invited to the Book of Allâh to settle their dispute,
then a party of them turn away, and they are averse. (23) This is because they
say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a number of days." And that
which they used to invent regarding their religion has deceived them. (24) How (will it be) when
We gather them together on the Day about which there is no doubt (i.e. the Day
of Resurrection). And each person will be paid in full what he has earned? And
they will not be dealt with unjustly. (25) Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O Allâh!
Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take
the kingdom from whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will, and
You humiliate whom You will. In Your Hand[] is the good. Verily, You are Able
to do all things. (26) You make the night to enter into the day, and You make
the day to enter into the night (i.e. increase and decrease in the hours of the
night and the day during winter and summer), You bring the living out of the
dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give wealth and
sustenance to whom You will, without limit (measure or account). (27) Let not the believers
take the disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers) instead of the believers,
and whoever does that will never be helped by Allâh in any way, except if you
indeed fear a danger from them. And Allâh warns you against Himself (His
Punishment)[], and to Allâh is the final return. (28) Say (O Muhammad SAW):
"Whether you hide what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allâh knows it,
and He knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. And Allâh is Able
to do all things." (29)
