The Pilgrimage 213
knowing and wise: 53 He makes Satan’s insinuations a temptation
only for the sick at heart and those whose hearts are hardened – the
evildoers are profoundly opposed [to the Truth] – 54 and He causes
those given knowledge to realize that this Revelation is your
Lord’s Truth, so that they may believe in it and humble their
hearts to Him: God guides the faithful to the straight path. 55 The
disbelievers will remain in doubt about it until the Hour suddenly
overpowers them or until torment descends on them on a Day
devoid of all hope. 56 On that Day control will belong to God:
He will judge between them. Those who believe and do good
deeds will be admitted to Gardens of Delight, 57 while those who
disbelieve and reject Our revelations will receive a humiliating
torment.
58 He will give a generous provision to those who migrated in
God’s way and were killed or died. He is the Best Provider. 59 He will
admit them to a place that will please them: God is all knowing and
most forbearing. 60 So it will be. God will help those who retaliate
against an aggressive act merely with its like and are then wronged
again: God is pardoning and most forgiving. 61 So it will be, because
God makes night pass into day, and day into night, and He is all
hearing and all seeing. 62 So it will be, because it is God alone who is
the Truth, and whatever else they invoke is sheer falsehood: it is God
who is the Most High, the Most Great.
63 Have you [Prophet] not considered how God sends water down

truly most subtle, all aware; 64 everything in the heavens and earth
belongs to Him; God alone is self-sufficient, worthy of all praise.
65 Have you not considered how God has made everything on the
earth of service to you? That ships sail the sea at His command?
That He keeps the heavens from falling down on the earth without
His permission? God is most compassionate and most merciful to
mankind – 66 it is He who gave you [people] life, will cause you to die,
then will give you life again – but man is ungrateful.
67 We have appointed acts of devotion for every community to
observe, so do not let them argue with you [Prophet] about this
matter. Call them to your Lord – you are on the right path – 68 and if
they argue with you, say, ‘God is well aware of what you are doing.’
69 On the Day of Resurrection, God will judge between you regarding
your differences. 70 Are you [Prophet] not aware that God knows
