Qur'an 20090518

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

51. Say, "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. God is our Protector." And on Allah let the believers put their trust.

52. Say, "Can you expect for us other than one of two glorious things? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send God's punishment directly, or by our hands. So wait: we too will wait with you."

53. Say, "Spend willingly, or unwillingly. Not from you will it be accepted, for you are indeed a people rebellious, and wicked."

54. The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are that they reject Allah and God's messenger, that they come to prayer without earnestness, and that they offer contributions unwillingly.

55. Let not their wealth nor their sons dazzle you. In reality, Allah's Plan is to punish them with these things in this life, and that their souls may perish in their denial of Allah.

56. They swear by Allah that they are indeed of you, but they are not of you. Yet they are afraid!

Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. God is our Protector.

Can you expect for us other than one of two glorious things? But we can expect for you either that Allah will send God's punishment directly, or by our hands. So wait: we too will wait with you.

Spend willingly, or unwillingly. Not from you will it be accepted, for you are indeed a people rebellious, and wicked.
