16.121 . Thankful for His bounties ; He chose him and He guided him unto a straight path .

16.122 . And We gave him good in the world , and in the Hereafter he is among the righteous .

16.123 . And afterward We inspired thee ( Muhammad , saying ) : Follow the religion of Abraham , as one by nature upright . He was not of the idolaters .

16.124 . The Sabbath was appointed only for those who differed concerning it , and lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ .

16.125 . Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation , and reason with them in the better way . Lo! thy Lord is best aware of him who strayeth from His way , and He is Best Aware of those who go aright .

16.126 . If ye punish , then punish with the like of that wherewith ye were afflicted . But if ye endure patiently , verily it is better for the patient .

16.127 . Endure thou patiently ( O Muhammad ) . Thine endurance is only by ( the help of ) Allah . Grieve not for them , and be not in distress because of that which they devise .

16.128 . Lo! Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him and those who are doers of good .
