[4:114]
There is no good in much of their secret
conferences save (in) him who enjoineth almsgiving and kindness and
peace-making among the people. Whoso doeth that, seeking the
good pleasure of Allah, We shall bestow on him a vast reward.
[4:115]
And whoso opposeth the messenger after the
guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and followeth other than the
believer’s way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and
expose him unto hell - a hapless journey’s end!
[4:116]
Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be
ascribed unto Him. He pardoneth all save that to whom
He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray.
[4:117]
They invoke in His stead only females; they pray
to none else than Satan, a rebel
[4:118]
Whom Allah cursed, and he said: Surely I will
take of Thy bondmen an appointed portion,
[4:119]
And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I
will arouse desires in them, and surely I will command them and they will cut
the cattle’ ears, and surely I will command them and they will change Allah’s
creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a loser
and his loss is manifest.
[4:120]
He promiseth them and stirreth up desires in
them, and Satan promiseth them only to beguile.
[4:121]
For such, their habitation will be hell, and
they will find no refuge therefrom.
