بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Mercifulالَّذينَ كَفَروا وَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ أَضَلَّ أَعمٰلَهُم
Those who disbelieve and repel from the path of GOD, He nullifies their works.Cited in
وَالَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَءامَنوا بِما نُزِّلَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّهِم ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنهُم سَيِّـٔاتِهِم وَأَصلَحَ بالَهُم
Those who believe and work righteousness, and believe in what was sent down to Muhammad—which is the truth from their Lord—He remits their sins, and blesses them with contentment.ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا البٰطِلَ وَأَنَّ الَّذينَ ءامَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الحَقَّ مِن رَبِّهِم ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يَضرِبُ اللَّهُ لِلنّاسِ أَمثٰلَهُم
This is because those who disbelieve are following falsehood, while those who believe are following the truth from their Lord. GOD thus cites for the people their examples.Cited in
فَإِذا لَقيتُمُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا فَضَربَ الرِّقابِ حَتّىٰ إِذا أَثخَنتُموهُم فَشُدُّوا الوَثاقَ فَإِمّا مَنًّا بَعدُ وَإِمّا فِداءً حَتّىٰ تَضَعَ الحَربُ أَوزارَها ۚ ذٰلِكَ وَلَو يَشاءُ اللَّهُ لَانتَصَرَ مِنهُم وَلٰكِن لِيَبلُوَا۟ بَعضَكُم بِبَعضٍ ۗ وَالَّذينَ قُتِلوا فى سَبيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعمٰلَهُم
If you encounter (in war) those who disbelieve, you may strike the necks. If you take them as captives you may set them free or ransom them, until the war ends. Had GOD willed, He could have granted you victory, without war. But He thus tests you by one another. As for those who get killed in the cause of GOD, He will never put their sacrifice to waste.سَيَهديهِم وَيُصلِحُ بالَهُم
He will guide them, and bless them with contentment.وَيُدخِلُهُمُ الجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَها لَهُم
He will admit them into Paradise, that He described to them.يٰأَيُّهَا الَّذينَ ءامَنوا إِن تَنصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنصُركُم وَيُثَبِّت أَقدامَكُم
O you who believe, if you support GOD, He will support you, and strengthen your foothold.Cited in

ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ مَولَى الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَأَنَّ الكٰفِرينَ لا مَولىٰ لَهُم
This is because GOD is the Lord of those who believe, while the disbelievers have no lord.إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدخِلُ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجرى مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهٰرُ ۖ وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا يَتَمَتَّعونَ وَيَأكُلونَ كَما تَأكُلُ الأَنعٰمُ وَالنّارُ مَثوًى لَهُم
GOD admits those who believe and lead a righteous life into gardens with flowing streams. As for those who disbelieve, they live and eat like the animals eat, then end up in the hellfire.Cited in
وَكَأَيِّن مِن قَريَةٍ هِىَ أَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِن قَريَتِكَ الَّتى أَخرَجَتكَ أَهلَكنٰهُم فَلا ناصِرَ لَهُم

أَفَمَن كانَ عَلىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِن رَبِّهِ كَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُ سوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَاتَّبَعوا أَهواءَهُم
Are those enlightened by their Lord the same as those whose evil works are adorned in their eyes, and they follow their own opinions?مَثَلُ الجَنَّةِ الَّتى وُعِدَ المُتَّقونَ ۖ فيها أَنهٰرٌ مِن ماءٍ غَيرِ ءاسِنٍ وَأَنهٰرٌ مِن لَبَنٍ لَم يَتَغَيَّر طَعمُهُ وَأَنهٰرٌ مِن خَمرٍ لَذَّةٍ لِلشّٰرِبينَ وَأَنهٰرٌ مِن عَسَلٍ مُصَفًّى ۖ وَلَهُم فيها مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ وَمَغفِرَةٌ مِن رَبِّهِم ۖ كَمَن هُوَ خٰلِدٌ فِى النّارِ وَسُقوا ماءً حَميمًا فَقَطَّعَ أَمعاءَهُم
The allegory of Paradise that is promised for the righteous is this: it has rivers of unpolluted water, and rivers of fresh milk, and rivers of wine—delicious for the drinkers—and rivers of strained honey. They have all kinds of fruits therein, and forgiveness from their Lord. (Are they better) or those who abide forever in the hellfire, and drink hellish water that tears up their intestines?وَمِنهُم مَن يَستَمِعُ إِلَيكَ حَتّىٰ إِذا خَرَجوا مِن عِندِكَ قالوا لِلَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ ماذا قالَ ءانِفًا ۚ أُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم وَاتَّبَعوا أَهواءَهُم
Some of them listen to you, then as soon as they leave they ask those who were enlightened, "What did he just say?" GOD thus seals their hearts and, consequently, they follow only their opinions.Cited in

Exposing the Hypocrites
وَيَقولُ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا لَولا نُزِّلَت سورَةٌ ۖ فَإِذا أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ مُحكَمَةٌ وَذُكِرَ فيهَا القِتالُ ۙ رَأَيتَ الَّذينَ فى قُلوبِهِم مَرَضٌ يَنظُرونَ إِلَيكَ نَظَرَ المَغشِىِّ عَلَيهِ مِنَ المَوتِ ۖ فَأَولىٰ لَهُم
Those who believed said: "When will a new sura be revealed?" But when a straightforward sura was revealed, wherein fighting was mentioned, you would see those who harbored doubts in their hearts looking at you, as if death had already come to them. They were thus exposed.
Proof of Faith During Muhammad's Era

Surely, those who slide back, after the guidance has been manifested to them, the devil has enticed them and led them on.ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم قالوا لِلَّذينَ كَرِهوا ما نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ سَنُطيعُكُم فى بَعضِ الأَمرِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ إِسرارَهُم
This is because they said to those who hated what GOD has sent down, "We will obey you in certain matters." GOD fully knows their secret conspiracies.Cited in

How will it be for them when the angels put them to death? They will beat them on their faces and their rear ends.ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعوا ما أَسخَطَ اللَّهَ وَكَرِهوا رِضوٰنَهُ فَأَحبَطَ أَعمٰلَهُم

If we will, we can expose them for you, so that you can recognize them just by looking at them. However, you can recognize them by the way they talk. GOD is fully aware of all your works.وَلَنَبلُوَنَّكُم حَتّىٰ نَعلَمَ المُجٰهِدينَ مِنكُم وَالصّٰبِرينَ وَنَبلُوَا۟ أَخبارَكُم

You are invited to spend in the cause of GOD, but some of you turn stingy. The stingy are stingy towards their own souls. GOD is Rich, while you are poor.Warning to the Arabs*
If you turn away, He will substitute other people in your place, and they will not be like you.
