4.10. LAST 11 VERSES OF 3RD SURAH




In The Name Of God, The Ever Graceful, The Most Gracious.

God says

(190) Verily in the creation of heavens and the earth, and in the succession of night and day there are indeed messages for all who are endowed with insight, (191) [and] who remember God when they stand, and when they sit, and when they lie down to sleep, and [thus] reflect on the creation of the Heaven and the earth: “O our Lord! Thou hast not created [aught of] this without meaning and purpose.  Limitless art Thou in thy glory! Keep us safe, then, from suffering through fire! (For your convenience the verses are continued below) 
(192) “O our Lord!  Whomsoever Thou shalt commit to the fire, him, verily, wilt Thou have brought to [spiritual] disgrace in [this world]; and such evildoer will have none to help them. (193) “O our Lord! Behold, we heard a voice call (us) unto faith, ‘Believe in your Lord!’- and so we came to believe.  O our Lord! Forgive us, then, our sins, and efface our bad deeds; and let us die the death of truly virtuous! (194) “And, o our Lord, grant us that which Thou hast promised us through Thy apostles, and disgrace us not on Resurrection Day!  Verily, Thou never failest to fulfil Thy promise!”
(195) And thus does their Lord answers their prayer: “I shall not lose sight of the labour of any of you who labours [in My way], be it man or women: each of you is an issue of [hence equal to] the other. Therefore, as for those who forsake the domain of evil, and are driven from their homelands, and suffer hurt in My cause, and fight [for it], and are slain- I shall most certainly efface their bad deeds, and shall most certainly bring them into gardens through which running waters flow, as a reward from God: for with God is the most beauteous of rewards.
(196) Let it not deceive thee that those who are bent on denying the truth seem to be able to do as they please on earth:
(197) it is [but] a brief enjoyment, with hell thereafter as their goal -- and how vile a resting place! (198) whereas those who remain conscious of their Lord shall have gardens through which running waters flow, therein to abide: a ready welcome from God. And that which is with God is best for truly virtuous.
(199) And, behold, among the followers of earlier revelation there are indeed such as [truly] believe in God, and that which has been bestowed from on high upon you as well as in that which has been bestowed upon them.  Standing in awe of God, they do not barter away God’s messages for a trifling gain.  They shall have their reward with their Lord- For, Behold, God is swift is reckoning!
(200) O you who have attained to faith!  Be patient in adversity, and vie in patience with one another, and be ever ready [to do what is right], and remain conscious of God, so that  you might attain to a happy state! -- Q.3:190-200.
