Qur'an 20121005

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.

15.  Those who lagged behind say, "When you march and take booty, permit us to follow you."  They wish to change Allah's decree.  Say, "Not thus will you follow us.  Allah has already declared beforehand."  Then they will say, "But you are jealous of us!"  No, but little do they understand.

16.  Say to the Arabs who lagged behind, "You shall be summoned to fight against a people given to vehement war.  Then shall you fight, or they shall submit.  Then if you show obedience, Allah will grant you a goodly reward, but if you turn back as you did before, God will punish you with a Grievous Penalty."

17.  No blame is there on the blind, nor is there blame on the lame, nor on one ill.  But he that obeys Allah and God's Messenger.... Will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow.  And he who turns back.... Will punish him with a Grievous Penalty.

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.

Not thus will you follow us.  Allah has already declared beforehand.

You shall be summoned to fight against a people given to vehement war.  Then shall you fight, or they shall submit.  Then if you show obedience, Allah will grant you a goodly reward, but if you turn back as you did before, God will punish you with a Grievous Penalty.
