Al-Nisa’ 4: 147–50

Such shall be numbered with the believers and Allah will certainly bestow on the believ- ers a great reward. (147) Why should Allah deal chastisement to you if you are grateful to Him and believe? Allah is All- Appreciative,88 All-Knowing.

(148) Allah does not like speaking evil publicly unless one has been wronged.89 Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (149) (Even though you have the right to speak evil if you are wronged), if you keep doing good – whether openly or secretly – or at least pardon the evil (then that is the attribute of Allah). Allah is All-Pardoning and He has all the power to chastise.

88 In the context of the God-man relationship, when the word shukr is used in respect of God, it denotes God’s appreciation of man’s service and obedience. When it is used in respect of man, it denotes his acknowledgement of God’s benefaction and his feeling of gratitude to Him.

89 The one who has been wronged is justified in speaking out against the person who has done wrong to one.
