47.21 . Obedience and a civil word . Then , when the matter is determined , if they are loyal to Allah it will be well for them .

47.22 . Would ye then , if ye were given the command , work corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship?

47.23 . Such are they whom Allah curseth so that he deafeneth them and maketh blind their eyes .

47.24 . Will they then not meditate on the Quran , or are there locks on the hearts?

47.25 . Lo! those who turn back after the guidance hath been manifested unto them , Satan hath seduced them , and He giveth them the rein .

47.26 . That is because they say unto those who hate what Allah hath revealed : We will obey you in some matters ; and Allah knoweth their secret talk .

47.27 . Then how ( will it be with them ) when the angels gather them , smiting their faces and their backs!

47.28 . That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah , and hated that which pleaseth Him . Therefor He hath made their actions vain .

47.29 . Or do those in whose hearts is a disease deem that Allah will not bring to light their ( secret ) hates?

47.30 . And if We would , We could show them unto thee ( Muhammad ) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks . And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk . And Allah knoweth your deeds . .

47.31 . And verily We shall try you till We know those of you who strive hard ( for the cause of Allah ) and the steadfast , and till We test your record .

47.32 . Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them , they hurt Allah not a jot , and He will make their actions fruitless .

47.33 . O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger , and render not your actions vain .

47.34 . Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and then die disbelievers , Allah surely will not pardon them .

47.35 . So do not falter and cry out for peace when ye ( will be ) the uppermost , and Allah is with you , and He will not grudge ( the reward of ) your actions .

47.36 . The life of the world is but a sport and a pastime . And if ye believe and ward off ( evil ) , He will give you your wages , and will not ask of you your worldly wealth .

47.37 . If He should ask it of you and importune you , ye would hoard it , and He would bring to light your ( secret ) hates .

47.38 . Lo! ye are those who are called to spend in the way of Allah , yet among you there are some who hoard . And as for him who hoardeth , he hoardeth only from his soul . And Allah is the Rich , and ye are the poor . And if ye turn away He will exchange you for some other folk , and they will not be the likes of you .
