[3:174]
So they returned with grace and favour from
Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and
Allah is of Infinite Bounty..
[3:175]
It is only the devil who would make (men) fear
his partisans. Fear them not; fear Me, if ye are true
believers.
[3:176]
Let not their conduct grieve thee, who run
easily to disbelief, for lo! they injure Allah not at
all. It is Allah’s Will to assign them no portion in the Hereafter, and theirs
will be an awful doom.
[3:177]
Those who purchase disbelief at the price of
faith harm Allah not at all, but theirs will be a painful doom.
[3:178]
And let not those who disbelieve imagine that
the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We
only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful
doom.
[3:179]
It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in
your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is
not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of
His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in
Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a
vast reward.
[3:180]
And let not those who hoard up that which Allah
hath bestowed upon them of His bounty think that it is better for them. Nay, it
is worse for them. That which they hoard will be their collar on the Day of
Resurrection. Allah’s is the heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah
is Informed of what ye do.
