[47:12]
Lo! Allah will cause those who believe and do
good works to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; while those who
disbelieve take their comfort in this life and eat even as the cattle eat, and the Fire is their habitation.
[47:13]
And how many a township stronger than thy
township (O Muhammad) which hath cast thee out, have We
destroyed, and they had no helper!
[47:14]
Is he who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord
like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified while they follow their
own lusts ?
[47:15]
A similitude of the Garden which those who keep
their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and
rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not, and rivers of wine delicious
to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind
of fruit, with pardon from their Lord. (Are those who enjoy all this) like
those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that
it teareth their bowels ?
[47:16]
Among them are some who give ear unto thee
(Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence they say unto those who
have been given knowledge: What was that he said just now ?
Those are they whose hearts Allah hath sealed, and they follow their own lusts.
[47:17]
While as for those who walk aright, He addeth to
their guidance, and giveth them their protection (against evil).
[47:18]
Await they aught save the Hour, that it should
come upon them unawares ? And the beginnings thereof
have already come. But how, when it hath come upon them, can they take their warning ?
[47:19]
So know (O Muhammad) that there is no God save
Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy sin and for believing men and believing
women. Allah knoweth (both) your place of turmoil and your place of rest.
