surah arrum ayat 31 - 40
Turning towards Him—and be conscious of Him, and perform the prayer, and do not be of the idolaters.
Of those who divided their religion, and became sects; each faction pleased with what they have.
When affliction touches the people, they call on their Lord, turning to Him in repentance. But then, when He gives them a taste of His mercy, some of them attribute partners to their Lord.
To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Indulge yourselves—you will surely know.
Have We sent down to them any authority, which speaks in support of their idols?
When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.
Do they not see that Allah expands the provision for whomever He wills, or restricts it? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
So give the relative his rights, and the destitute, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah's presence. Those are the prosperous.
The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people's wealth, will not multiply with Allah. But what you give in charity, desiring Allah's approval—these are the multipliers.
Allah is He who created you, then provides for you, then makes you die, then brings you back to life. Can any of your idols do any of that? Glorified is He, and Exalted above what they associate.
