أَو يوبِقهُنَّ بِما كَسَبوا وَيَعفُ عَن كَثيرٍ

Or He could destroy them for what they earned; but He pardons much.

وَيَعلَمَ الَّذينَ يُجادِلونَ في آياتِنا ما لَهُم مِن مَحيصٍ

And [that is so] those who dispute concerning Our signs may know that for them there is no place of escape.

فَما أوتيتُم مِن شَيءٍ فَمَتاعُ الحَياةِ الدُّنيا ۖ وَما عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيرٌ وَأَبقىٰ لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَلىٰ رَبِّهِم يَتَوَكَّلونَ

So whatever thing you have been given - it is but [for] enjoyment of the worldly life. But what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who have believed and upon their Lord rely

وَالَّذينَ يَجتَنِبونَ كَبائِرَ الإِثمِ وَالفَواحِشَ وَإِذا ما غَضِبوا هُم يَغفِرونَ

And those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, and when they are angry, they forgive,

وَالَّذينَ استَجابوا لِرَبِّهِم وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَمرُهُم شورىٰ بَينَهُم وَمِمّا رَزَقناهُم يُنفِقونَ

And those who have responded to their lord and established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

وَجَزاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِثلُها ۖ فَمَن عَفا وَأَصلَحَ فَأَجرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الظّالِمينَ

And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.

وَلَمَنِ انتَصَرَ بَعدَ ظُلمِهِ فَأُولـٰئِكَ ما عَلَيهِم مِن سَبيلٍ

And whoever avenges himself after having been wronged - those have not upon them any cause [for blame].

إِنَّمَا السَّبيلُ عَلَى الَّذينَ يَظلِمونَ النّاسَ وَيَبغونَ فِي الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ لَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

The cause is only against the ones who wrong the people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment.

وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمِن عَزمِ الأُمورِ

And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination.

وَمَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِن وَلِيٍّ مِن بَعدِهِ ۗ وَتَرَى الظّالِمينَ لَمّا رَأَوُا العَذابَ يَقولونَ هَل إِلىٰ مَرَدٍّ مِن سَبيلٍ

And he whom Allah sends astray - for him there is no protector beyond Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying, "Is there for return [to the former world] any way?"
