Importance of obedience and advice and guidance related to obedience

O you who believe, do not practice usury, charging doubled and redoubled (interest); but have fear of God: you may well attain your goal.

Keep away from the Fire prepared for the infidels;

Obey God and the Prophet, that you may be treated with mercy.

And hasten for the pardon of your Lord, and for Paradise extending over the heavens and the earth, laid out for those who take heed for themselves and fear God,

Who expend both in joy and tribulation, who suppress their anger and pardon their fellowmen; and God loves those who are upright and do good,

And those who, if they commit a shameful act or some wrong against themselves, remember God and seek forgiveness for their sins: For who can forgive except God? They should not be perverse about their doings, knowingly.

Their recompense is pardon by their Lord, and gardens with streams of running water where they will abide for ever. How fair is the recompense of those who act!

There have been many dispensations before you; so travel in the land and see what befell those who denied the truth.

This is a clear declaration for mankind, and a guidance and a warning for those who preserve themselves from evil.
