Obedience and good words. And when the matter [of fighting] was determined, if they had been true to Allah, it would have been better for them. ^[21]

So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] relationship? ^[22]

Those [who do so] are the ones that Allah has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their vision. ^[23]

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts? ^[24]

Indeed, those who reverted back [to disbelief] after guidance had become clear to them - Satan enticed them and prolonged hope for them. ^[25]

That is because they said to those who disliked what Allah sent down, "We will obey you in part of the matter." And Allah knows what they conceal. ^[26]

Then how [will it be] when the angels take them in death, striking their faces and their backs? ^[27]

That is because they followed what angered Allah and disliked [what earns] His pleasure, so He rendered worthless their deeds. ^[28]

Or do those in whose hearts is disease think that Allah would never expose their [feelings of] hatred? ^[29]

And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their mark; but you will surely know them by the tone of [their] speech. And Allah knows your deeds. ^[30]

And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the cause of Allah] and the patient, and We will test your affairs. ^[31]

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the path of Allah and opposed the Messenger after guidance had become clear to them - never will they harm Allah at all, and He will render worthless their deeds. ^[32]

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and do not invalidate your deeds. ^[33]

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the path of Allah and then died while they were disbelievers - never will Allah forgive them. ^[34]

So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of [the reward of] your deeds. ^[35]

[This] worldly life is only amusement and diversion. And if you believe and fear Allah, He will give you your rewards and not ask you for your properties. ^[36]

If He should ask you for them and press you, you would withhold, and He would expose your unwillingness. ^[37]

Here you are - those invited to spend in the cause of Allah - but among you are those who withhold [out of greed]. And whoever withholds only withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allah is the Free of need, while you are the needy. And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you. ^[38]
