signs, revelations, etc.) We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allh is Ever Most Powerful, AllWise.

57. But those who believe (in the Oneness of Allh - Islmic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), abiding therein forever. Therein they shall have Azwjun Mutahharatun [purified mates or wives (having no menses, stools, urine, etc.)] and We shall admit them to shades wide and ever deepening (Paradise) .

58. Verily! Allh commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching which He (Allh) gives you! Truly, Allh is Ever AllHearer, AllSeer.

59. O you who believe! Obey Allh and obey the Messenger (Muhammad ), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allh and His Messenger (), if you believe in Allh and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination. 

60. Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Tght (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaitn (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray.

61. And when it is said to them: "Come to what Allh has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad )," you (Muhammad ) see the hypocrites turn away from you (Muhammad ) with aversion.

62. How then, when a catastrophe befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, they come to you swearing by Allh, "We meant no more than goodwill and conciliation!"

63. They (hypocrites) are those of whom Allh knows what is in their hearts; so turn aside from them (do not punish them) but admonish them, and speak to them an effective word (i.e. to believe in Allh, worship Him, obey Him, and be afraid of Him) to reach their innerselves.

64. We sent no Messenger, but to be obeyed by Allh's Leave. If they (hypocrites), when they had been unjust to themselves, had come to you (Muhammad ) and begged Allh's Forgiveness, and the Messenger had begged forgiveness for them: indeed, they would have found Allh All-Forgiving (One Who accepts repentance), Most Merciful.

65. But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad ) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.

66. And if We had ordered them (saying), "Kill yourselves (i.e. the innnocent ones kill the guilty ones) or leave your homes," very few of them would have done it; but if they had done what they were told, it would have been better for them, and would have strengthened their (Faith);

67. And indeed We should then have bestowed upon them a great reward from Ourselves.

68. And indeed We should have guided them to a Straight Way.

69. And whoso obeys Allh and the Messenger (Muhammad ), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allh has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqn (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr AsSiddiq ), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!

70. Such is the Bounty from Allh, and Allh is Sufficient as AllKnower.

71. O you who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth (on an expedition) in parties, or go forth all together.

72. There is certainly among you he who would linger behind (from fighting in Allh's Cause). If a misfortune befalls you, he says, "Indeed Allh has favoured me in that I was not present among them."

73. But if a bounty (victory and booty) comes to you from Allh, he would surely say - as if there had never
