The Qur'an (Oxford World's Classics)

64: 18
Mutual Neglect 377
cancel the sins of those who believed in Him and acted righteously:
He will admit them into Gardens graced with flowing streams,
there to remain for ever – the supreme triumph. 10 But those who
disbelieved and rejected Our signs will be the inhabitants of the Fire,
there to remain – a miserable destination.
11 Misfortunes can only happen with God’s permission a ––He will
guide the heart of anyone who believes in Him: God knows all
things––12 so obey God and the Messenger. If you turn away,
remember that Our Messenger’s duty is only to make plain his
message. 13 God! There is no god but Him, so let the faithful put
their trust in Him. 14 Believers, even among your spouses and your
children you have some enemies – beware of them – but if you
overlook their offences, forgive them, pardon them, then God is all
forgiving, all merciful.
15 Your wealth and your children are only a test for you. There is
great reward with God: 16 be mindful of God as much as you can;
hear and obey; be charitable – it is for your own good. Those who are
saved from their own meanness will be the prosperous ones: 17 if you
make a generous loan to God He will multiply it for you and forgive
you. God is ever thankful and forbearing; 18 He knows the unseen, as
well as the seen; He is the Almighty, the Wise.
a Abu Muslim gives the explanation that some of the believers’ families tried to
dissuade them from emigrating and from jihad because they feared for their safety
(Razi). See verse 14.
