13.21 . Such as unite that which Allah hath commanded should be joined , and fear their Lord , and dread a woeful reckoning .

13.22 . Such as persevere in seeking their Lord ' s countenance and are regular in prayer and spend of that which We bestow upon them secretly and openly , and overcome evil with good . Theirs will be the sequel of the ( heavenly ) Home .

13.23 . Gardens of Eden which they enter , along with all who do right of their fathers and their helpmeets and their seed . The angels enter unto them from every gate .

13.24 . ( Saying ) : Peace be unto you because ye persevered . Ah , passing sweet will be the sequel of the ( heavenly ) Home .

13.25 . And those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it , and sever that which Allah hath commanded should be joined , and make mischief in the earth : theirs is the curse and theirs the ill abode .

13.26 . Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will , and straiteneth ( it for whom He will ) ; and they rejoice in the life of the world , whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter .

Thus We send thee ( O Muhammad ) unto a nation , before whom other nations have passed away , that thou mayst recite unto them that which We have inspired in thee , while they are disbelievers in the Beneficent .

13.31 . Had it been possible for a Lecture to cause the mountains to move , or the earth to be torn asunder , or the dead to speak , ( this Quran would have done so ) . Nay , but Allah ' s is the whole command . Do not those who believe know that , had Allah willed , He could have guided all mankind? As for those who disbelieve , disaster ceaseth not to strike them because of what they do , or it dwelleth near their home until the threat of Allah come to pass . Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst .

13.33 . Is He Who is aware of the deserts of every soul ( as he who is aware of nothing ) ? Yet they ascribe unto Allah partners . Say : Name them . Is it that ye would inform Him of something which He knoweth not in the earth? Or is it but a way of speaking? Nay , but their contrivance is made seeming fair for those who disbelieve and they are kept from the right road . He whom Allah sendeth astray , for him there is no guide .

13.34 . For them is torment in the life of the world , and verily the doom of the Hereafter is more painful , and they have no defender from Allah .

13.37 . Thus have We revealed it , a decisive utterance in Arabic and if thou shouldst follow their desires after that which hath come unto thee of knowledge , then truly wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting friend nor defender .

13.38 . And verity We sent messengers ( to mankind ) before thee , and We appointed for them wives and offspring , and it was not ( given ) to any messenger that he should bring a portent save by Allah ' s leave . For everything there is a time prescribed .
