As-Saf

Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, the Almighty, the Wise. O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do? It is most hateful to Allah that you say what you do not do. Allah loves those who strive in His cause in a row, as if they were a solid structure. Remember when Musa said to his people, “Why do you hurt me when you know that I am Allah’s Messenger to you?” When they swerved, Allah made their hearts swerve. And when ‘Isa, son of Maryam, said, “O Children of Israel, I am Allah’s Messenger to you, confirming the Torah that came before me and bringing good news of a Messenger to come after me whose name is Ahmad.” But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, “This is clear magic.” They want to put out Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will complete His light, even if the disbelievers hate it. He sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion, to make it prevail over all religion. O you who believe, shall I show you a trade that will save you from a painful punishment? Believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in His cause with your wealth and yourselves. He will forgive you and admit you to Gardens with rivers and fine homes in the Gardens of Eternity, and give you something else you love: help from Allah and a victory near at hand. O you who believe, be Allah’s helpers, as ‘Isa said to the disciples, “Who will be my helpers for Allah?” and they said, “We are Allah’s helpers.”
