And march forth in the way (which leads
to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise
as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqûn (the pious -
see V.2:2). (133) Those who spend [in Allâh's Cause] in prosperity and in
adversity,[] who repress anger,[] and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves
Al-Muhsinûn[] (the good - doers). (134) And those who, when they have committed
Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse) or wronged themselves with evil, remember
Allâh and ask forgiveness for their sins; - and none can forgive sins but Allâh
- And do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.[]. (135) For such, the reward
is Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How
excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to
Allâh's Orders). (136) Many similar ways (and mishaps of life) were faced by nations
(believers and disbelievers) that have passed away before you (as you have
faced in the battle of Uhud), so travel through the earth, and see what was the
end of those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allâh, and disobeyed Him and
His Messengers). (137) This (the Qur'ân) is a plain statement for mankind, a guidance
and instruction to those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2). (138) So do not become weak
(against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you
are indeed (true) believers. (139) If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be
sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days
(good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allâh may test those who
believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allâh likes not the
Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong¬doers). (140)
