Qur'an 20100714

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

11. The Arabs who lagged behind will say to you, "We were engaged in our flocks and herds, and our families, do you then ask forgiveness for us?" They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say, "Who then has any power in your behalf with Allah, if God's Will is to give you some loss, or to give you some profit? But Allah is well acquainted with all that you do."

12. No, you thought that the messenger and the believers would never return to their families. This seemed pleasing to your hearts, and you conceived an evil thought, for you are a people lost.

13. And if any believe not in Allah and God's messenger, We have prepared for the unbelievers, a blazing Fire!

14. To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. God forgives whom God wills, and God punishes whom God wills; but Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.
