There truly are signs in the creation of the heavens and earth, and in the alternation of night and day, for those with understanding,

who remember God standing, sitting, and lying down, who reflect on the creation of the heavens and earth: ‘Our Lord! You have not created all this without purpose- You are far above that!- so protect us from the torment of the Fire.

Our Lord! You will truly humiliate those You commit to the Fire. The evildoers have no one to help them.

Our Lord! We have heard someone calling us to faith- “ Believe in your Lord”- and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, wipe out our bad deeds, and grant that we join the righteous when we die.

Our Lord! Bestow upon us all that You have promised us through Your messengers- do not humiliate us on the Day of Resurrection- You never break Your promise.’

إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ لَـَٔايَٰتࣲ لِّأُو۟لِي ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ

ٱلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمࣰا وَقُعُودࣰا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَٰذَا بَٰطِلࣰا سُبْحَٰنَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدْخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُۥۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارࣲ

رَّبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيࣰا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَٰنِ أَنْ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَـَٔامَنَّاۚ رَبَّنَا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّـَٔاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ

رَبَّنَا وَءَاتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِۖ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ

Their Lord has answered them: ‘I will not allow the deeds of any one of you to be lost, whether you are male or female, each is like the other [in rewards]. I will certainly wipe out the bad deeds of those who emigrated and were driven out of their homes, who suffered harm for My cause, who fought and were killed. I will certainly admit them to Gardens graced with flowing streams, as a reward from God: the best reward is with God.’

فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ أَنِّي لَآ أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَٰمِلࣲ مِّنكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰۖ بَعْضُكُم مِّنۢ بَعْضࣲۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا۟ وَأُخْرِجُوا۟ مِن دِيَٰرِهِمْ وَأُوذُوا۟ فِي سَبِيلِي وَقَٰتَلُوا۟ وَقُتِلُوا۟ لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَلَأُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ جَنَّٰتࣲ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ثَوَابࣰا مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسْنُ ٱلثَّوَابِ

[Prophet], do not be deceived by the disbelievers’ [lucrative] trading to and fro in the land:

this is only a brief enjoyment, after which Hell will be their home- a miserable resting place!

But those who were mindful of their Lord will have Gardens graced with flowing streams where they will stay as a reward from God. What God has is best for those who are truly good.

لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِي ٱلْبِلَٰدِ

مَتَٰعࣱ قَلِيلࣱ ثُمَّ مَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ

لَٰكِنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتࣱ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا نُزُلࣰا مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرࣱ لِّلْأَبْرَارِ

Some of the People of the Book believe in God, in what has been sent down to you and in what was sent down to them: humbling themselves before God, they would never sell God’s revelation for a small price. These people will have their rewards with their Lord: God is swift in reckoning.

وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَمَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ خَٰشِعِينَ لِلَّهِ لَا يَشْتَرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنࣰا قَلِيلًاۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

You who believe, be steadfast, more steadfast than others; be ready; always be mindful of God, so that you may prosper.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱصْبِرُوا۟ وَصَابِرُوا۟ وَرَابِطُوا۟ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
