Or have they other deities who have ordained for them a religion to which Allah has not consented? But if not for the decisive word, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, the wrongdoers will have a painful punishment

You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they have earned, and it will [certainly] befall them. And those who have believed and done righteous deeds will be in lush regions of the gardens [in Paradise] having whatever they will in the presence of their Lord. That is what is the great bounty

It is that of which Allah gives good tidings to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for this message any payment [but] only good will through kinship." And whoever commits a good deed - We will increase for him good therein. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Appreciative

Or do they say, "He has invented about Allah a lie"? But if Allah willed, He could seal over your heart. And Allah eliminates falsehood and establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts

وَهُوَAnd Heٱلَّذِى(is) the One Whoيَقْبَلُacceptsٱلتَّوْبَةَthe repentanceعَنْofعِبَادِهِۦHis slavesوَيَعْفُوا۟and pardonsعَنِ[of]ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِthe evilوَيَعْلَمُand He knowsمَاwhatتَفْعَلُونَyou do﴿٢٥﴾

And He answers [the supplication of] those who have believed and done righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His bounty. But the disbelievers will have a severe punishment

And if Allah had extended [excessively] provision for His servants, they would have committed tyranny throughout the earth. But He sends [it] down in an amount which He wills. Indeed He is, of His servants, Acquainted and Seeing

وَهُوَAnd Heٱلَّذِى(is) the One Whoيُنَزِّلُsends downٱلْغَيْثَthe rainمِنۢafterبَعْدِafterمَا[what]قَنَطُوا۟they have despairedوَيَنشُرُand spreadsرَحْمَتَهُۥHis mercyوَهُوَAnd Heٱلْوَلِىُّ(is) the Protectorٱلْحَمِيدُthe Praiseworthy﴿٢٨﴾
