If he pleaseth he will take you away, O men, and will produce others in your stead; for God is able to do this.  Whoso desireth the reward of this world, verily with God is the reward of this world, and also of that which is to come; God both heareth and seeth.  O true believers, observe justice when ye bear witness before God, although it be against yourselves, or your parents, or relations; whether the party be rich, or whether he be poor; for God is more worthy than them both:  therefore follow not your own lust in bearing testimony, so that ye swerve from justice.  And whether ye wrest your evidence, or decline giving it, God is well acquainted with that which ye do.  O true believers, believe in God and his apostle, and the book which he hath caused to descend unto his apostle, and the book which he hath formerly sent down.  And whosoever believeth not in God, and his angels, and his scriptures, and his apostles, and the last day, he surely erreth in a wide mistake.  Moreover, they who believed, and afterwards became infidels, and then believed again, and after that disbelieved, and increased in infidelity, God will by no means forgive them, nor direct them into the right way.  Declare unto the ungodly that they shall suffer a painful punishment.  They who take the unbelievers for their protectors, besides the faithful, do they seek for power with them? since all power belongeth unto God.  And he hath already revealed unto you, in the book of the Koran, the following passage:  When ye shall hear the signs of God, they shall not be believed, but they shall be laughed to scorn.  Therefore sit not with them who believe not, until they engage in different discourse; for if ye do, ye will certainly become like unto them.  God will surely gather the ungodly and the unbelievers together in hell.  They who wait to observe what befalleth you, if victory be granted you from God, say, Were we not with you?  But if any advantage happen to the infidels, they say unto them, Were we not superior to you, and have we not defended you against the believers?  God shall judge between you on the day of resurrection; and God will not grant the unbelievers means to prevail over the faithful.  The hypocrites act deceitfully with God, but he will deceive them; and when they stand up to pray, they stand carelessly, affecting to be seen of men, and remember not God, unless a little, wavering between faith and infidelity, and adhering neither unto these nor unto those:  and for him whom God shall lead astray, thou shalt find no true path.  O true believers, take not the unbelievers for your protectors, besides the faithful.  Will ye furnish God with an evident argument of impiety against you?  Moreover, the hypocrites shall be in the lowest bottom of hell fire, and thou shalt not find any to help them thence.  But they who repent and amend, and adhere firmly unto God, and approve the sincerity of their religion to God, they shall be numbered with the faithful; and God will surely give the faithful a great reward.
