							THE 
							REPENTANCE | Madina. 16 Sections. 129 Verses. |  |  |  Allah in the 
			name of the Most Affectionate, the Merciful. 
			SECTION: 1
 1. This is declaration of disassociation from Allah and His 
			Messenger to those idolaters with whom you had entered into a 
			contract and they did not keep it.
 
 2. Then go about in the land for four months and know that you can 
			not tire Allah and Allah is to humiliate the infidels.
 
 3. And there is proclamation from Allah and His Messenger to all 
			People on the day of Great Pilgrimage that Allah is rid of the 
			polytheists and so His Messenger, if you then repent it is then good 
			for you, and if you turn you' face then know that you cannot tire 
			Allah. And give good tidings to infidels of a painful torment.
 
 4. But those associators with whom you had covenanted they did not 
			detract anything in your Contract, and did not help any one against 
			you then fulfil their covenant till the promised day. Undoubtedly, 
			Allah loves the pious ones.
 
 5. Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the associators 
			wherever you find them and catch them, and confine them and sit in 
			wait for them at every place; again if they repent and establish 
			prayer and give the poor-due then leave their way. Verily Allah is 
			Forgiving, Merciful.
 
 6. And 'O beloved Prophet'. If any of the associators ask your 
			protection, then give him protection that he may hear the word of 
			Allah then convey him to his place of security. This is because they 
			are the people ignorant.
 
 SECTION: 2
 
 7. How there shall be any covenant for the associators with Allah 
			and His Messenger but those with whom you covenanted near the Sacred 
			Mosque! Then as long as they keep their covenant for you, you should 
			also stand for them. Undoubtedly, Allah loves the pious ones.
 
 8. How (Can it be) their condition is this that if they prevail 
			against you, then neither they would care for relationship nor for 
			agreement. They please you with their mouths, and their hearts 
			refuse, and most of them are disobedient.
 
 9. They have sold the Signs of Allah for a meagre price, and then 
			they barred from His path. Undoubtedly, they do evil deeds.
 
 10. They neither have regard of relationship or agreement in any 
			Muslim. And they are the transgressors.
 
 11. Again if they repent and establish prayer and pay the poor-due (Zakat) 
			then they are your brothers, in faith. And We explain the signs in 
			detail for a people who know.
 
 12. If they break their oaths after their covenant, and taunt at 
			your religion, then fight with the leaders of infidelity. 
			Undoubtedly, their oaths are nothing. Haply they may desist.
 
 13. Will you not fight with a people who have broken their oaths and 
			resolved to turn out the Messenger, although the beginning is from 
			them? Do you fear them? Linen Allah is Most Worthy that you should 
			fear Him if you believe (Him).
 
 14. Then fight them, Allah will torment them at your hands and will 
			humiliate them and will help you against them, and will heal the 
			breasts of the believers.
 
 15. And will remove the anger of their hearts, and Allah relent of 
			whomsoever He pleases, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
 
 16. Are you in this conception that you would be left alone, and 
			Allah has not yet made known those of you who will struggle and will 
			not take any one as a confident except Allah and His Messenger and 
			the muslims. Allah is Aware of what you do?
 
 SECTION: 3
 
 17. It is not for the associators that they should inhabit the 
			mosque of Allah, bearing witnesses of infidelity against themselves. 
			Their entire works are destroyed, and they shall abide in the Fire.
 
 18. They only inhabit the mosques of Allah who believe in Allah and 
			the Last Day and establish prayer and pay the poor-due (Zakat) and 
			fear none but Allah, therefore it is near that these people may be 
			among the guided ones.
 
 19. Then do you hold the offering of water to the pilgrims and 
			service of the Sacred Mosque equal to one who believed in Allah and 
			the Last Day and struggled in the path of Allah? They are not equal 
			in the sight of Allah, And Allah guides not the unjust people.
 
 20. Those who believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth 
			and lives in the path of Allah have the highest rank near Allah. And 
			they are they who reached to their goal.
 
 21. Their Lord does give them glad tidings of His Mercy and of His 
			Pleasure and of those gardens wherein there is lasting bliss for 
			them.
 
 22. They will abide there in forever. Undoubtedly, there is great 
			reward with Allah.
 
 23. 'O Believers! Take not your fathers and brothers for friends, if 
			they prefer infidelity over faith. And who so of you will be-friend 
			them, then they are they who are unjust.
 
 24. Say you 'If your fathers, and your sons and your brothers and 
			your wives and your clan and the wealth of your earning and the 
			trade of which you fear loss and the houses of your choice, these 
			things are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and the 
			struggling in His path, then wait till Allah brings His Command. And 
			Allah guides not the disobedients.
 
 SECTION: 4
 
 25. Undoubtedly, Allah did help you at many places and on the day of 
			Hunain when you had boasted on your multitude, it availed you 
			nothing, and the land being so vast, became straitened to you, then 
			you turned your backs retreating
 
 26. Then Allah sent down His Calm upon His Messenger and upon 
			Muslims, and He sent down the hosts that you did not see and 
			chastised the infidels. And this is the punishment of the rejecters.
 
 27. Thereafter Allah will relent whom He pleases. And Allah is 
			Forgiving, Merciful.
 
 28. 'O believers! The associators are altogether unclean, then let 
			them not approach the sacred Mosque after this year. And if you fear 
			poverty, then soon Allah shall enrich you of His bounty if He 
			pleases. Verily, Allah is Knowing, Wise.
 
 29. Fight those who believe not in Allah, and in the Last Day, and 
			accept not as unlawful what Allah and His messenger made unlawful, 
			and follow not the true faith that is to say those who were Coven 
			the Book until they pay the required tax with their own hands being 
			brought low.
 
 SECTION: 5
 
 30. And the Jews, said, "Uzair is the son of Allah" and the 
			Christians said 'Masih (Christ) is the son of Allah' These things, 
			they utter with their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the 
			infidels before them. Allah assail them, whither they are 
			perverting?
 
 31. They have taken their priests and monks as gods besides Allah 
			and also Masih son of Maryam; and they were Commanded not but this 
			that that they worship only one Allah; none is to be worshipped 
			except He. Hallowed be He from their polytheism.
 
 32. They wish to put off the light of Allah with their mouths and 
			Allah will not agree but to perfect His light, though the infidels 
			may dislike it.
 
 33. It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and true 
			religion that He may make it prevail over all religions, though the 
			infidels may dislike it.
 
 34. 'O believers! Verily many of the priests and monks devour the 
			wealth of the people wrongfully and bar from the path of Allah. And 
			those who hoard up gold and silver and spend not in the path of 
			Allah give them the good tidings of a painful torment.
 
 35. The day when they shall be heated in the fire of the Hell, then 
			their foreheads and sides and backs shall be branded therewith. This 
			is what you had hoarded for yourselves, now taste the hoarding.
 
 36. Undoubtedly, the number of months with Allah is twelve in the 
			Book of Allah since the day He made the Heavens and Earth four of 
			them are sacred. This is the right religion, then wrong not 
			yourselves in these months, and fight the infidels at all times, as 
			they fight with you, all times And know that Allah is with the pious 
			ones.
 
 37. Their postponement of the months are not but an increase in 
			infidelity, with which the infidels are misguided, they make it 
			lawful one year and hold it unlawful another year, that they may 
			make up the number which Allah has sanctified, and make lawful what 
			Allah has forbidden. Their vile deeds seem fair in their eyes and 
			Allah guides not the infidel
 
 SECTION: 6
 
 38. 'O Believers! What happened to you, that when it is said to you, 
			'Go forth in the way of Allah, you sit down on the earth heavily'? 
			Have you chosen the life of this work in preference to the 
			Hereafter? And the goods of the living worlds in comparison with 
			that of the Hereafter is nothing but little.
 
 39. If you will not march forth, He will punish you with a severe 
			punishment and will replace you by another people, and you can do no 
			harm to Him. And Allah can do every thing
 
 40. If you help him (The beloved Prophet) not, then no doubt, Allah 
			helped him, when on account of the mischief of the infidels, he was 
			to go out with only two souls, when they both were in the Cave, and 
			when he said to his companion 'Grieve not, no doubt Allah is with 
			us', then Allah sent down His satisfaction on him, and helped him 
			with armies which you did not see, and put down the words of the 
			infidels. It is the word of Allah, alone which is supreme, and Allah 
			is Dominant, Wise.
 
 41. March forth with light soul, or with heavy heart and struggle in 
			the way of Allah with your wealth and lives. It is better for you, 
			if you know.
 
 42. If there had been any near gain, or an average journey, then 
			they would have certainly gone with you, but the hard journey seemed 
			too long to them, and now they will swear by Allah, that if we had 
			been able, then we would have surely gone with you. They ruin their 
			souls, and Allah knows that undoubtedly, they are necessarily liars.
 
 SECTION: 7
 
 43. Allah forgive you, why did you then permit them, till the true 
			one had not become manifest to you and the liars had not become 
			clear?
 
 44. And those who would believe in Allah and the Last Day would not 
			ask leave of you from struggling with their wealth and their lives. 
			And Allah knows well the duty-bound.
 
 45. Those only ask you this leave who do not believe in Allah and 
			the Last Day and their hearts are in doubts, then in their doubts 
			they waver.
 
 46. Had they willed to go forth, they would have made some 
			preparation for it; but God disliked their rousing, so He made them 
			lethargic, and it was said to them 'remain sitting with those who 
			sit'.
 
 47. If they would have come out among you, they would have added you 
			nothing except trouble and would have run to and from in your midst 
			seeking to cause sedition among you, and there are among you, their 
			spies. And Allah Knows well the unjust.
 
 48. No doubt, they already sought to create disorder before, and 
			turned the plans upside down for you O' Beloved! Till the truth came 
			and Allah's command appeared.
 
 49. And any one among them submits before you like this, 'Give me 
			leave, and put me not in trial', Listen, they have already fallen 
			into trial. And undoubtedly, the hell has surrounded the infidels.
 
 50. If good befalls you, then it hurts them, and if any misfortune 
			comes to you, then they say 'We had already set right our works 
			before, and turn back rejoicing.
 
 51. Say you 'nothing shall reach us, but what Allah has ordained for 
			us. He is our Protector, and the Muslims should keep trust in Allah 
			only.
 
 52. Say you, 'What you are waiting for us but one of the two goods' 
			? And we are waiting for you that Allah shall afflict you with a 
			torment from Himself, or with our hands. Now wait then, we are also 
			waiting with you'.
 
 53. Say you, 'Spend willingly or unwillingly, it shall not be 
			accepted from you. No doubt, you are a people disobedient.
 
 54. And what they spend. Its acceptance was not barred. But because 
			they rejected Allah and His Messenger and come not to prayers but 
			lazily, and spend not but unwillingly
 
 55. Then let not their wealth and their children astonish you. Allah 
			only intends to punish them with these things in the life of the 
			world and that their souls may depart while they are infidels.
 
 56. They swear by Allah that they are from amongst you and they are 
			not from amongst you, yes they are afraid.
 
 57. If they find a place of refuge, or cave or a place to creep 
			into, they will turn there to rushing headlong.
 
 58. And of them, some one is he who blames you with regard to the 
			distribution of charities, then if they get some thing of these, 
			they are pleased, and if they get not, then they are angry.
 
 59. What a good it had been, if they would have been pleased with 
			what Allah and His Messenger had given them and would have said 
			'Sufficient for us is Allah', Now Allah is to give us of His Bounty, 
			and so the Messenger of Allah. To Allah only we lean.
 
 SECTION: 8
 
 60. The poor-due (Zakat) is only for those who are poor and needy 
			and those who collect it, and for those whose hearts are to be 
			conciliated for Islam, and for the freeing of slaves, and for 
			debtors, and for spending in the way of Allah and for the traveller. 
			This has been ordained by Allah. And Allah is Knowing, Wise.
 
 61. And of them some are those who hurt the Prophet and say, 'He is 
			an ear, say 'He is an ear for good of you, believes in Allah and 
			believes the words of Muslims, and is a mercy for those who are 
			Muslims among you.' And those who hurt the Messenger, for them is 
			the painful torment.
 
 62. They swear by Allah before you may be pleased and Allah and His 
			Messenger had greater right, that they should please him, if they 
			had faith.
 
 63. Are they not aware that whoso opposes Allah and His Messengers 
			then for him is the fire of the Hell in which he will abide for 
			ever? This is the great humiliation
 
 64. The hypocrites fear lest a Surah (Chapter) should be sent down 
			to them informing them, what is in their hearts. Say you 'Mock on, 
			truly Allah is about to reveal what you fear.'
 
 65. And O' beloved Prophet! If you ask to them, they will say 'We 
			were only jesting and playing'. Say you; 'Do you mock at Allah and 
			His signs and His Messengers?'
 
 66. Make no excuses, you have already become disbeliveers after 
			being muslims. If We forgive some one of you, then We shall chastise 
			others because they were guilty.
 
 SECTION: 9
 
 67. The hypocrites' men and women are the birds of the same feather; 
			they bid evil and forbid from doing good, and (they) keep their 
			hands closed. They have left Allah then Allah has left them. No 
			doubt the hypocrites are the confirmed disobedients.
 
 68. Allah has promised the hypocrites men and hypocrites' women and 
			infidels, the fire of the Hell, wherein they will abide forever. 
			That is sufficient for them, and the curse of Allah is upon them, 
			and for them is the lasting torment.
 
 69. As those before you, they were mightier than you in strength, 
			and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their share 
			then you enjoy your share just as those before you enjoyed their 
			share, and you indulged ingesting just as they indulged. Their works 
			are wasted in the world and the Hereafter, and they are the people 
			who are losers.
 
 70. Have they not received the news of those before them the people 
			of Nooh, and Aad and Thamud, and the people of Ibrahim, and the men 
			of Madian and the overthrown towns? Their Messengers had brought to 
			them bright evidences; then it was not befitting to Allah that He 
			might have wronged them, but they were themselves unjust to their 
			souls.
 
 71. And the Muslim men and women are friends to one another, bid for 
			good and forbid evil and establish prayer and pay the poor-due 
			(Zakat) and obey Allah and His Messenger. These are they on whom 
			soon Allah will have mercy. Undoubtedly Allah is, Dominant, Wise.
 
 
 72. Allah has promised to Muslim men and Muslim women Gardens under 
			which rivers flow, wherein they shall reside forever and clean 
			houses in the inhabitable gardens. And the pleasure of Allah is the 
			greatest. This is the achievement of the greater Goal.
 
 SECTION: 10
 
 73. O Communicator of the hidden news, (Prophet) fight against the 
			infidels and the hypocrites and be strict to them Their destination 
			is Hell and what an evil place of return.
 
 74. They swear by Allah that they said it not, and no doubt, 
			necessarily they uttered the word of infidelity and became infidels 
			after accepting Islam and they had desired that Which they could not 
			get; and what they felt bad, only this that Allah and His Messenger 
			has enriched them out of His grace; then if they repent, it is good 
			for them, and if they turn their faces then Allah will chastise them 
			with a severe torment in the world and the Hereafter and on the 
			earth they shall have neither any supporter nor any helper.
 
 75. And of them, there are some who had covenanted with Allah that 
			if He will give us out of His grace then we shall surely give in 
			charity and we shall surely become good men.
 
 76. Then when Allah gave them out of His grace, they became 
			niggardly of it and turned away turning their faces.
 
 77. Therefore after it Allah put hypocrisy in their hearts, until 
			the Day they meet Him -the recompense of that they acted against 
			what they had promised to Allah and the recompense of that they used 
			to lie.
 
 78. Are they not aware that Allah Knows the secrets of their hearts 
			and their whisper and Allah is the well Knower of all hidden things?
 
 79. Those who blame those muslims who give charity willingly and 
			those who get not but with their hard labour, so they laugh at them. 
			Allah will punish them for their laughing and for them is the 
			painful
 
 80. Ask you forgiveness for them or ask not. If you will ask 
			forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. 
			This is because that they have rejected Allah and His Messenger. And 
			Allah guides not the disobedients.
 
 SECTION: 11
 
 81. Those who were left behind delighted at this that they remained 
			sitting behind the Messenger and they did not like that they may 
			fight in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives and said Come 
			not out in this treat' say you 'the fire of the Hell is the hottest! 
			In any manner they would have understood!
 
 82. Let them laugh little and weep much, in recompense what they 
			used to earn.
 
 83. Then if, O beloved Prophet! Allah returns you to a party of 
			them, and they ask you leave to go forth to fight, then say you 
			'Never shall you march forth with me, nor ever fight with any enemy 
			of me. You chose to sit at home the first time, then remain sitting 
			with those who remained behind.'
 
 84. And pray you never over any of their dead, and not stand over 
			his grave. No doubt, they rejected Allah and His Messenger and died 
			while they were disobedient.
 
 85. Be not astonished over their wealth and children Allah only 
			intends to punish them there with in this world, and that they part 
			with their souls while they are infidels.
 
 86. And when any Sura (Chapter) is sent down, that believe in Allah 
			and fight with His Messenger, then the men of capability among them 
			ask leave of you and say 'Leave us to remain with those who sit 
			behind'.
 
 87. They like that they should remain with the women left behind, 
			and their hearts are sealed up, so that they understand nothing.
 
 88. But the Messenger and those who believed with him, fought with 
			their wealth and lives. And it is they for whom are goods, and it is 
			they who reached to their goal.
 
 89. Allah has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow; 
			they shall abide forever therein. This is the attainment of supreme 
			object
 
 SECTION: 12
 
 90. And there came excuse seekers from the villagers in order that 
			leave may be given to them, and those who lied to Allah and His 
			Messenger sat behind. Soon a painful torment shall befall to the 
			infidels of them.
 
 91. There is not any fault on the weak, and on the sick and nor on 
			those who are not capable to spend, when they are sincere to Allah 
			and His Messenger. There is no way against the good-doers. And Allah 
			is Forgiving, Merciful.
 
 92 Nor on those who came to you that you may provide carriage to 
			them, you said have nothing whereon to mount you' so they return 
			back and their eyes overflow with tears because of this grief that 
			they could not find the ability to spend.
 
 93. The accountability is only of those who ask leave of you and 
			they are rich. They liked to sit behind with the women and Allah has 
			sealed up their hearts; so they know nothing.
 
 PART-11 (Yatazeruna)
 
 94. They will make excuses to you when you will return to them. Say 
			you, 'make no ' excuses, we will never believe you, Allah has 
			already given your news to us. And now Allah and His messenger will 
			see your works then you will be returned to Him Who knows all unseen 
			and visible, He will tell you what you used to do.
 
 95. Now they will swear by Allah before you, when you will return 
			back to them in order that you may not mind of them, then yes, mind 
			them not. They are wholly filthy and their destination is Hell a 
			recompense what they used to earn.
 
 96. They swear before you that you may be pleased with them. But if 
			you are pleased with them, then no doubt, Allah will not be pleased 
			with a people dis-obedient.
 
 97. They villagers are more stubborn in infidelity and hypocrisy and 
			they are only worthy of this that they remain ignorant of the 
			commands which, Allah has sent down upon His messenger. And Allah is 
			knowing, Wise.
 
 98. And among the villagers some are those who regard hat they spend 
			in the way of Allah as fine, and remain waiting of misfortunes 
			coming to you. On them is the evil turn. And Allah Hears. Knows.
 
 99. And among the villagers some are those who believe in Allah and 
			the Last Day, and regard what they spend as ' approaches to Allah 
			and means of taking blessings of the messenger. Yes, that is the 
			means of nearness for them to enter into His mercy. Undoubtedly! 
			Allah is Forgiving, Merciful,
 
 SECTION: 13
 
 100. And the first and foremost emigrants and helpers and those who 
			followed them with good. Allah is pleased with them and they are 
			pleased with Allah and for them, He has prepared gardens under which 
			rivers flow. This is the great success.
 
 101. And some villagers around you are hypocrites and some of the 
			dwellers of Madina too, hypocrisy has become their habit. You know 
			them not. We know them. We will soon torment them twice. Then they 
			will be resumed to a great torment.
 
 102 And there are some others who acknowledge their sins and mixed 
			up a good deed with another evil. It is near that Allah may accept 
			their repentance. No doubt Allah is Forgiving. Merciful.
 
 103. O beloved prophet! Realise the poor-due (Zakat) out of their 
			wealth. to purify them and cleanse them therewith and pray good for 
			them. No doubt. your prayer is solace for their hearts. And Allah 
			Hears. Knows.
 
 104. Are they not aware that only Allah accepts the repentance of 
			His bondmen and takes the charities in His authoritative Hand 
			Himself, and that it is Allah Who is the Relenting. The Merciful.
 
 105. And say you. 'work on, now Allah will behold your work and so 
			His messenger and the muslims. And you will soon be returned to Him 
			Who knows all unseen and visible. Then He will inform you what you 
			used to do.
 
 106. And some other have been deferred to Allah's commandment. 
			Whether He may torment them or may accept their repentance. And 
			Allah is Knowing Wise
 
 107. And those who have built a mosque in order to injure and 
			because of infidelity and to cause dissension among muslims and as 
			an ambush for him who is already against Allah and His messenger 
			from before. And they will surely swear that we desired only good. 
			And Allah bears witness that they are certainly liars.
 
 108. You stand never in that mosque. No doubt the mosque whose 
			foundation has been laid on righteousness from the very first day is 
			worthy that you may stand therein. There in are those who desire to 
			be well purified and Allah loves the pure.
 
 109. Then is he who laid foundation upon the fear of Allah and His 
			pleasure better or he who laid his foundation on the brink of a 
			falling pit, then he fell with it in the fire of the Hell? And Allah 
			does not give way to the people unjust.
 
 110. The building, which they have built, will continue to waver in 
			their hearts unless their hearts may cut into pieces. And Allah is 
			Knowing, Wise.
 
 SECTION: 14
 
 111. No doubt. Allah has purchased from the muslims their lives and 
			their belongings against this return, that for them is Paradise, 
			they fight in the way of Allah, then they kill and are killed; true 
			promise on His generous responsibility in the Taurah and the Injeel 
			and the Quran. And who is, true to his words than Allah'? Rejoice 
			then in your trade ' which you have done with Him And it is this 
			which is, the great triumph.
 
 112. Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise, those 
			who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate, those who tell good 
			and forbid evil and those who watch the limits of Allah. And give 
			you glad tidings to Muslims.
 
 113. It is not worthy for the prophet and the believers to ask 
			forgiveness for the associators, even though they are relatives, 
			after it has been made clear to them that they are men of Hell.
 
 114. And Abraham's asking forgiveness for his father was not but on 
			account a promise, he had made to Him But when it was made clear to 
			him that he is an enemy of Allah, he dis-associated him self from 
			him No doubt, Abraham is a most lament, clement.
 
 115. And it is not the attribute of Allah that He should lead astray 
			any people after He has guided them. Until He makes clear to them as 
			to what they have to guard against. Undoubtedly, Allah knows every 
			thing.
 
 116. Assuredly! It is Allah for Whom is the Kingdom of heavens and 
			earth. He gives life and causes death. And you had no protector nor 
			helper beside Allah.
 
 117. No doubt, blessings of Allah turned towards the Communicator of 
			the hidden news (prophet) and those emigrants and helpers who sided 
			with him in the hour of hardship. After it that the hearts of some 
			of them were nearly to be swerved aside. Then He turned towards them 
			with blessing. Undoubtedly. To them He is Most Kind. Merciful.
 
 118. And to the three who were left behind, so much so that the 
			earth being so vast became strait to them, and they became tired of 
			their own lives, and they believed that there is no refuge from 
			Allah but with Him. Then, He accepted their repentance that they 
			might remain repenting. Undoubtedly, it is Allah Who is Relenting, 
			the Merciful.
 
 SECTION: 15
 
 119. O believers! Fear Allah and be with the truthful.
 
 120. It was not proper for the inhabitants of Madina and the 
			villagers around them to remain sitting behind the messenger of 
			Allah, nor that they should consider their own lives more dear than 
			his life. This is so because whatever they face as thirst or 
			distress or hunger in the way of Allah, and wherever they tread a 
			place which enrages the infidels for all these things, good deed is 
			written for them. Assuredly Allah wastes not the reward of the good.
 
 121. And whatever they spend, small or great and the valley they 
			cross, all is written for them so that Allah may recompense them for 
			their best deeds.
 
 122. And it is not possible for Muslims that all should come out. 
			Then why should not a party from each group should come out that 
			they may gain understanding of religion and warn their people after 
			coming back to them, haply they may guard themselves.
 
 SECTION. 16
 
 123. O believers' fight the infidels who are close to you, and let 
			them find in you harshness and know that Allah is with the 
			duty-bound.
 
 124. Whenever a Sura is sent down. Then anyone of them begins to 
			say, 'Which of you has this increased in faith? Then as for those 
			who believe, it has increased them in faith. And they are rejoicing.
 
 125. And as for those in whose hearts there is disease, it has 
			increased them in filthiness upon filthiness and they died while 
			they are infidels.
 
 126. Do they not observe that? They are being tried every year once 
			or twice. Even then neither they repent nor accept admonition.
 
 127. And whenever any Sura is sent down, they begin to look at on 
			each other. Whether any one watches you? Then they turn away. Allah 
			has turned away their hearts, because they are a people who do not 
			understand.
 
 128. Assuredly there has come to you a messenger from among 
			yourselves, heavy upon him is your suffering; ardently desirous of 
			your welfare, and to Muslims is most Kind and Merciful.
 
 129. If then they turn their faces, then say you, 'Allah is 
			sufficient for me, none is to be worshiped except He. I put my trust 
			in Him, and He is the 'Lord of Supreme Throne.'
