This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who
guard (against evil).
3. Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer and
spend out of what We have given them.
4. And who believe in that which has been revealed to you
and that which was revealed before you and they are sure of the
hereafter.
5. These are on a right course from their Lord and these it is
that shall be successful.
6. Surely those who disbelieve, it being alike to them whether
you warn them, or do not warn them, will not believe.
7. Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their
hearing and there is a covering over their eyes, and there is a
great punishment for them.
8. And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah
and the last day; and they are not at all believers.
9. They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and
they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.
10. There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their
disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they
11. And when it is said to them, Do not make mischief in the
land, they say: We are but peace-makers.
12. Now surely they themselves are the mischief makers, but they
do not perceive.
13. And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe
they say: Shall we believe as the fools believe? Now surely they
themselves are the fools, but they do not know.
14. And when they meet those who believe, they say: We believe;
and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say: Surely we
are with you, we were only mocking.
15. Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them
alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.
16. These are they who buy error for the right direction, so
their bargain shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers of
the right direction.
17. Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire
but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their
light, and left them in utter darkness-- they do not see.
18. Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not turn back.
19. Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is utter
darkness and thunder and lightning; they put their fingers into
their ears because of the thunder peal, for fear of death, and
Allah encompasses the unbelievers.
