16:47



16:45-47
Do they who plot evil deeds feel secure that God will not cause the earth to swallow them, or that the punishment will not come upon them whence they perceive not,

Or that He will not seize them in their going to and fro, and they be unable to escape,

**Or that He will not seize them through slow decay? And your Lord is kind and merciful.**

47:1-17
Those who ignore warning and turn away from the path of God, He sends their deeds astray;

But those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and believe in what was sent down upon Muḥammad — and it is the truth from their Lord — He will remove from them their evil deeds, and make right their state.

For it is that those who ignore warning follow falsehood, and that those who heed warning follow the truth from their Lord! Thus does God strike for men their similitudes.

And when you meet those who ignore warning: — then the smiting of the necks. When you have battled them strenuously, then make strong the bonds; then: — either grace thereafter or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. That when, had God willed, He would have taken revenge upon them; but that He might try some of you by means of others[… he wills that you should fight.]. And those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not send their deeds astray;

He will guide them, and make right their state,

And make them enter the Garden He has made known to them.

O you who heed warning: if you help God, He will help you and make firm your feet.

But those who ignore warning: for them is wretchedness; and He will lead their deeds astray,

For it is that they were averse to what God sent down! So He made vain their deeds.

Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the final outcome of those who were before them? God destroyed them; and for the false claimers of guidance are the likes thereof,

For it is that God is the protector of those who heed warning, and that the false claimers of guidance have no protector!

God makes those who heed warning and do righteous deeds enter gardens beneath which rivers flow. But those who ignore warning enjoy themselves, and eat as the cattle eat; and the Fire is a dwelling for them.

And how many a city stronger than thy city which has turned thee out have We destroyed! And there was no helper for them.

Is then he who is on clear evidence from his Lord — like: him to whom has been made fair the evil of his deeds, and they follow their vain desires?

(The likeness of the Garden which is promised those of prudent fear: therein are rivers of water incorruptible, and rivers of milk of unchanging taste, and rivers of wine delightful to the drinkers, and rivers of purified honey; and they have therein every fruit, and pardon from their Lord.) — like: him who abides eternally in the Fire, and they are given to drink scalding water that lacerates their bowels?

**And among them are some who listen to thee. When they have gone forth from thy presence, they say to those who have been given knowledge: “What said he just now?” Those are they whose hearts God sealed, and they follow their vain desires.**

And those who are guided, He increases them in guidance and gives them their prudent fear.
