Read Surah An-Nisa

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا اِلٰی مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَ اِلَی الرَّسُوْلِ رَاَیْتَ الْمُنٰفِقِیْنَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْكَ صُدُوْدًاۚ۝۶۱

When they are told: "Come to that which God has revealed, and to the Prophet," you should see the hypocrites, how they hesitate and turn their faces away.

فَكَیْفَ اِذَاۤ اَصَابَتْهُمْ مُّصِیْبَةٌۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَیْدِیْهِمْ ثُمَّ جَآءُوْكَ یَحْلِفُوْنَ ۖۗ بِاللّٰهِ اِنْ اَرَدْنَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اِحْسَانًا وَّ تَوْفِیْقًا۝۶۲

How shall it be when they suffer misfortunes for their own misdeeds? Then they will come to you swearing by God and saying: "We wish for nothing but good and amity."

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ یَعْلَمُ اللّٰهُ مَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ۗ فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ عِظْهُمْ وَ قُلْ لَّهُمْ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًۢا بَلِیْغًا۝۶۳

The secrets of the hearts of these people are well known to God. So leave them alone, and counsel them and speak to them eloquent words that would touch their very souls.

وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا لِیُطَاعَ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ اِذْ ظَّلَمُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ جَآءُوْكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُوْلُ لَوَجَدُوا اللّٰهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِیْمًا۝۶۴

We have sent no apostle but that he should be obeyed by the will of God. If they had come to you after wronging themselves and asked forgiveness of God, and you had also asked forgiveness for them, they would surely have found God forgiving and merciful.

فَلَا وَ رَبِّكَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَتّٰی یُحَكِّمُوْكَ فِیْمَا شَجَرَ بَیْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا یَجِدُوْا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَیْتَ وَ یُسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِیْمًا۝۶۵

Indeed, by your Lord, they will not believe till they make you adjudge in their disputes and find no constraint in their minds about your decisions and accept them with full acquiescence.

وَ لَوْ اَنَّا كَتَبْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ اَنِ اقْتُلُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ اَوِ اخْرُجُوْا مِنْ دِیَارِكُمْ مَّا فَعَلُوْهُ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ مِّنْهُمْ ؕ وَ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ فَعَلُوْا مَا یُوْعَظُوْنَ بِهٖ لَكَانَ خَیْرًا لَّهُمْ وَ اَشَدَّ تَثْبِیْتًاۙ۝۶۶

If We had commanded them to lay down their lives and to go forth from their homes, only a few would have obeyed; though had they followed what they had been commanded it would surely have been good for them and the strengthening of their faith.

وَّ اِذًا لَّاٰتَیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ لَّدُنَّاۤ اَجْرًا عَظِیْمًاۙ۝۶۷

And We would have bestowed on them a great reward of Our own,

وَّ لَهَدَیْنٰهُمْ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِیْمًا۝۶۸

And led them to the path that is straight.

وَ مَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَ الرَّسُوْلَ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ مَعَ الَّذِیْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنَ النَّبِیّٖنَ وَ الصِّدِّیْقِیْنَ وَ الشُّهَدَآءِ وَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ ۚ وَ حَسُنَ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ رَفِیْقًاؕ۝۶۹

Those who obey God and the Prophet are with those who are blessed by God, the prophets, the sincere and the trustful, the martyrs and the upright; and how excellent a company are they!

ذٰلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ كَفٰی بِاللّٰهِ عَلِیْمًا۠۝۷۰

This is a favour from God; and sufficient is God, the all-knowing.
