[3.133] And hasten to a forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise as wide as heaven and earth, prepared for the cautious
[3.134] who spend in prosperity and in adversity, for those who curb their anger and those who forgive people. And Allah loves the charitable
[3.135] and those who, if they commit indecency or wrong themselves remember Allah and ask forgiveness of their sins for who but Allah forgives sins and those who do not persist in what they do while they know.
[3.136] Those, their recompense is forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens underneath which rivers flow, where they shall live for ever. How excellent is the wage of those who labor.
[3.137] There have been examples before you. Journey in the land and see what was the fate of the liars.
[3.138] This is a declaration to the people, a guidance and an admonition to the cautious.
[3.139] Do not be weak, neither sorrow while you are the upper ones, if you are believers.
[3.140] If a wound touches you, a similar wound already has touched the nation. Such days We alternate between the people so that Allah knows those who believe, and that He will take witnesses from among you, for Allah does not love the harmdoers,
[3.141] and so that Allah will examine those who believe and efface the unbelievers.
[3.142] Did you suppose that you would enter Paradise without Allah knowing those of you who struggled and who were patient?
[3.143] You used to wish for death before you met it, so you have seen it while you were looking.
[3.144] Muhammad is not except a Messenger; Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you turn about on your heels? And he who turns on his heels will not harm Allah a thing. Allah will recompense the thankful.
[3.145] It is not for any soul to die except by the permission of Allah a postponed book and he who desires the reward of this world, We shall give him of it, and he who desires the reward of the Everlasting Life, We shall give him of it. And We will recompense the thankful.
[3.146] There has been many a Prophet with whom many of the Lord have fought and they did not faint when they were smitten in the way of Allah, neither did they weaken, nor did they humble themselves, and Allah loves the patient.
[3.147] Their only words were: 'Lord, forgive us our sins and that we exceeded in our affair, make us firm of foot and give us victory over the unbelievers. '
[3.148] And Allah gave them the reward of this life, and the best reward of the Everlasting Life. Allah loves the gooddoers.
[3.149] Believers, if you obey those who disbelieve they will turn you upon your heels and you will turn to be losers.
[3.150] But Allah is your Sponsor. He is the Best of victors.
[3.151] We will throw terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. For that they have associated with Allah that which He did not send down for a proof. Fire shall be their home, evil indeed is the dwellingplace of the harmdoers.
