The Qur'an Sura LXIV — MUTUAL DECEIT
1ALL that is in the Heavens, and all that is in the Earth, praiseth God: His the Kingdom and His the Glory! And He hath power over all things!
2It is He who hath created you all; yet some of you are infidel and others believers: but God beholdeth all your actions.
3He hath created the Heavens and the Earth in Truth; and He hath fashioned you and given you goodly forms; and to Him must ye all return.
4He knoweth all that passeth in the Heavens and in the Earth; and He knoweth what ye hide and what ye bring to light; and God knoweth the very secrets of men's breasts.
5Hath not the story reached you of those who disbelieved of yore, and therefore tasted the evil consequences of their doings? And a sore punishment doth await them.
6This, for that when their apostles came to them with the clear tokens, they said, "What! shall men be our guides?" And they believed not and turned their backs. But God can dispense with them; for God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy!
7The infidels pretend that they shall not be raised from the dead. SAY: Yea, by my Lord, ye shall surely be raised; then shall ye surely be told of your deeds! And easy is this for God.
8Believe then in God and his apostle and in the light which we have sent down; for God is fully aware of all ye do.
9The day when He shall gather you together for the day of mutual gathering, will be the day of MUTUAL DECEIT, and whoso shall have believed in God and done what is right, for him will He cancel his deeds of evil; and He will bring him into the gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow, to abide therein for evermore. This will be the great bliss!
10But the unbelieving–those who gave the lie to our signs–shall be the inmates of the fire, wherein they shall remain for ever. And a wretched passage thither!
11No mischance chanceth but by God's permission; and whoso believeth in God, that man's heart will he guide: and God knoweth all things.
12Obey God then and obey the apostle: but if ye turn away, our apostle is not to blame, for he is only charged with plain preaching.
13God! there is no God but He! On God, then, let the faithful trust.
14O ye who believe! Verily, in your wives and your children ye have an enemy: wherefore beware of them. But if ye pass it over and pardon, and are lenient, then God too is Lenient, Merciful.
15Your wealth and your children are only a source of trial! but God! with Him is the great recompense.
16Fear God, then, with all your might, and hear and obey: and give alms for your own weal; for such as are saved from their own greed, shall prosper.
17If ye lend God a generous loan, He will double it to you and will forgive you, for God is Grateful, Long-suffering.
18He knoweth alike the Hidden and the Manifest: the Mighty, the Wise!
