َفَمَنْ یَعْلَمُ أَنَّمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَیْکَ مِنْ رَّبِّکَ الْحَقُّ کَمَنْ هُوَ أَعْمَى إِنَّمَا یَتَذَکَّرُ أُوْلُوا الاَْلْبَابِ(( 19 ))

19- IS HE WHO KNOWS THAT WHAT HAS BEEN SENT DOWN TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD IS TRUTH, LIKE HIM WHO IS BLIND? ONLY THE THOUGHTFULS WILL TAKE ADMONITION.

الَّذِینَ یُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَلاَ یَنقُضُونَ الْمِیثَاقَ (( 20 ))

20- THOSE WHO FULFIL THEIR COVENANT WITH ALLAH, AND BREAK NOT THEIR PROMISE.

 

وَالَّذِینَ یَصِلُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ أَنْ یُوصَلَ وَیَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَیَخَافُونَ سُوءَ الْحِسَابِ(( 21 ))

21- AND THOSE WHO CONNECT TO THOSE WITH WHOM ALLAH HAS COMMANDED THEM TO CONNECT, AND FEAR THEIR LORD, AND DREAD THE BAD RECKONING.

وَ الَّذِینَ صَبَرُوا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ أَقَامُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَ أَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرّاً وَ عَلاَنِیَةً وَ یَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّیِّئَةَ أُوْلَئِکَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِِ(( 22 ))

22- AND THOSE WHO KEPT PATIENT FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH AND PERFORMED THE PRAYER, AND GAVE ALMS FROM THE SUSTENANCE WHICH WE GRANTED THEM, SECRETLY OR OPENLY; AND WHO WARD OFF EVIL WITH GOOD DEEDS. THEY

[ 328 ]

ARE THOSE FOR WHOM IS THE GOOD (AND ETERNAL) ABODE.

جَنَّاتُ عَدْن یَدْخُلُونَهَا وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّیَّاتِهِمْ وَالْمَلاَئِکَةُ یَدْخُلُونَ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ کُلِّ بَاب (( 23 ))

23- (THEIR SAID ABODE WILL BE) GARDENS OF EDEN, IN WHICH THEY SHALL ENTER WITH THOSE WHO WERE RIGHTEOUS, OF THEIR FATHERS AND THEIR WIVES, AND THEIR OFFSPRINGS. AND THE ANGELS WILL COME TO THEM FROM EVERY GATE.

سَلاَمٌ عَلَیْکُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ (( 24 ))

24- (AND THE ANGELS WILL SAY TO THEM) PEACE BE UPON YOU FOR BEING PATIENT. HOW EXCELLENT IS THEN YOUR ETERNAL ABODE.
