SECTION 18: Idolatry condemned
Оглавление116 Surely Allah forgives not setting up partners with Him, and He forgives all besides this to whom He pleases. And whoever sets up a partner with Allah, he indeed goes far astray.
117 Besides Him they call on nothing but female divinities and they call on nothing but a rebellious devil,
118 Whom Allah has cursed. And he said: Certainly I will take of Thy servants an appointed portion;
119 And certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain desires and bid them so that they will slit the ears of the cattle, and bid them so that they will alter Allah’s creation. And whoever takes the devil for a friend, forsaking Allah, he indeed suffers a manifest loss.
120 He promises them and excites vain desires in them. And the devil promises them only to deceive.
121 These — their refuge is hell, and they will find no way of escape from it.
122 And those who believe and do good, We shall make them enter Gardens in which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. It is Allah’s promise, in truth. And who is more truthful in word than Allah?
123 It will not be in accordance with your vain desires nor the vain desires of the People of the Book. Whoever does evil, will be requited for it and will not find for himself besides Allah a friend or a helper.
124 And whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, and he (or she) is a believer — these will enter the Garden, and they will not be dealt with a whit unjustly.
125 And who is better in religion than he who submits himself entirely to Allah while doing good (to others) and follows the faith of Abraham, the upright one? And Allah took Abraham for a friend.
126 And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And Allah ever encompasses all things.
