The fruits of the divine message

Devotees of Ar-Rahman are those who walk with humility on the earth, and when they are addressed by the ignorant, say: 'Peace;"

And those who spend their nights bowed and standing before their Lord;

Who say: "O our Lord, avert from us the torment of Hell: Its punishment is surely continuous.

It is indeed an evil halt and an evil abode;"

Who are neither prodigal nor miserly in their spending but follow a middle path;

Who do not invoke any god apart from God, who do not take a life which God has forbidden except for a cause that is just, and do not fornicate -- and any one who does so will be punished for the crime,

Whose punishment will be doubled on the Day of Judgement, and he will live for ever in disgrace,

Except those who repent and come to believe and do the right, for whom God will turn evil into goodness, for God is forgiving and kind.

Whosoever repents and does the right, will have turned back to God by way of repentance;

And those who do not give false evidence, and if they come across unbecoming talk ignore it and pass by in a sedate way;

Who, when reminded of their Lord's revelations, do not fall for them like the deaf and blind;

And those who say: "O Lord, give us comfort in our spouses and children, and make us paragons of those who follow the straight path."

They will be rewarded for their perseverance with lofty mansions in empyrean where they will be received with greetings of peace and salutations,

And abide there for ever: What an excellent destination and abode!

Say: "My Lord is not concerned on your account if you do not pray to Him. You have surely done with denying; soon will come the inevitable judgement.
