[9:21]
Their Lord giveth them good tidings of mercy
from Him, and acceptance, and Gardens where enduring pleasure will be theirs;
[9:22]
There they will abide for ever. Lo! with Allah there is immense reward.
[9:23]
O ye who believe! Choose not your
fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief
rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers.
[9:24]
Say: If your fathers, and
your sons, and your brethren, and your wives, and your tribe, and the wealth ye
have acquired, and merchandise for which ye fear that there will no sale, and
dwellings ye desire are dearer to you than Allah and His messenger and striving
in His way: then wait till Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah guideth
not wrongdoing folk.
[9:25]
Allah hath given you victory on many fields and
on the day of Huneyn, when ye exulted in your multitude but it availed you
naught, and the earth, vast as it is, was straitened for you; then ye turned
back in flight;
[9:26]
Then Allah sent His peace of reassurance down
upon His messenger and upon the believers, and sent down hosts ye could not
see, and punished those who disbelieved. Such is the reward of disbelievers.
