Race towards forgiveness from your Lord; and a Garden as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. That is the grace of Allah; He bestows it on whomever He wills. Allah is the Possessor of Immense Grace.
No calamity occurs on earth, or in your souls, but it is in a Book, even before We make it happen. That is easy for Allah.
That you may not sorrow over what eludes you, nor exult over what He has given you. Allah does not love the proud snob.
Those who are stingy, and induce people to be stingy. Whoever turns away—Allah is the Independent, the Praiseworthy.
We sent Our messengers with the clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that humanity may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, in which is violent force, and benefits for humanity. That Allah may know who supports Him and His messengers invisibly. Allah is Strong and Powerful.
We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line Prophethood and the Scripture. Some of them are guided, but many of them are sinners.
Then We sent in their wake Our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented—We did not ordain it for them—only to seek Allah's approval. But they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of them are sinful.
O you who believe! Fear Allah, and believe in His Messenger: He will give you a double portion of His mercy, and will give you a light by which you walk, and will forgive you. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
That the People of the Book may know that they have no power whatsoever over Allah's grace, and that all grace is in Allah's hand; He gives it to whomever He wills. Allah is Possessor of Great Grace.
