بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
42:21 Or do they have associates who lay down for them religious rules and laws without Allah´s permission? Judgment would have been given between them if there had not been a pre-determined decision. There is a painful torment for the wrongdoers.
42:22 You will see the wrongdoers in anxiety as their deeds come upon them. Those who believe and do righteous deeds are in the gardens of the heavens. They will receive whatever they wish in the Presence of their Lord. This is a great bounty.
42:23 "This is how Allah gives glad tidings to His servants who believe and act righteously. Say, "I do not ask of you any wage except the love of kinship."Whoever does a good deed, We increase his good deed. Allah is the Forgiving, the Appreciative."
42:24 "Do they say, "Has he fabricated a lie about Allah"? If Allah wills, He can seal your heart. Allah erases falsehood and establishes truth in His words. He knows the most secret thoughts."
42:25 He accepts repentance from His servants and forgives sins and knows what you do.
42:26 He answers the call of those who believe and do righteous deeds and increases His grace for them. But the disbelievers deserve a severe punishment.
42:27 If Allah had made the sustenance abundant for His servants, they would have become arrogant in the earth. Indeed, He sends it as He wills. He is All-Knowing, All-Seeing of His servants.
42:28 He is the One Who sends down the rain and spreads His mercy after they had given up hope. He is a Friend Worthy of Praise.
42:29 Among His signs is that He created the heavens and the earth and spread in them various creatures. He can gather them together when He wills.
42:30 Any evil that touches you is a consequence of what you used to do. And He forgives most of them.
42:31 You cannot escape in the earth. You have no master and helper except Allah.
42:32 And the ships that sail like mountains in the ocean are among His Signs.
42:33 If He willed, He would have stopped the wind and they would have remained motionless on the water. In this are signs for every patient and thankful person.
42:34 Or He destroys them for what they used to do. And forgives many of them instead.
42:35 Those who dispute over Our Verses know that they have no escape.
42:36 Whatever you have been given is the sustenance of the life of this world. But what is with Allah is better and lasting for those who believe and trust in their Lord.
42:37 Those who avoid the great sins and the ugly deeds and forgive when they are angry.
42:38 They respond to the call of their Lord, they observe the prayer, they decide their affairs in consultation among themselves, and they give out of what We have given them for charity.
42:40 The recompense for evil is a like evil, but whoever forgives and acts righteously will be rewarded by Allah. He does not love the wrongdoers.
