Monotheism and all the good and righteous deeds which Allh has ordained), or conciliation between mankind, and he who does this, seeking the good Pleasure of Allh, We shall give him a great reward.

115. And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad ) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination.

116. Verily! Allh forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners in worship with Him, but He forgives whom he pleases sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners in worship with Allh, has indeed strayed far away.

117. They (all those who worship others than Allh) invoke nothing but female deities besides Him (Allh), and they invoke nothing but Shaitn (Satan), a persistent rebel!

118. Allh cursed him. And he [Shaitn (Satan)] said: "I will take an appointed portion of your slaves;

119. Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allh." And whoever takes Shaitn (Satan) as a Wal (protector or helper) instead of Allh, has surely suffered a manifest loss.

120. He [Shaitan (Satan)] makes promises to them, and arouses in them false desires; and Shaitan's (Satan) promises are nothing but deceptions.

121. The dwelling of such (people) is Hell, and they will find no way of escape from it. 

122. But those who believe (in the Oneness of Allh - Islmic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to the Gardens under which rivers flow (i.e. in Paradise) to dwell therein forever. Allh's Promise is the Truth, and whose words can be truer than those of Allh? (Of course, none).

123. It will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor those of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof, and he will not find any protector or helper besides Allh.

124. And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and is a true believer in the Oneness of Allh (Muslim), such will enter Paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a Naqra (speck on the back of a datestone), will be done to them.

125. And who can be better in religion than one who submits his face (himself) to Allh (i.e. follows Allh's Religion of Islmic Monotheism); and he is a Muhsin (a good-doer - see V.2:112). And follows the religion of Ibrhim (Abraham) Hanifa (Islmic Monotheism - to worship none but Allh Alone). And Allh did take Ibrhim (Abraham) as a Khalil (an intimate friend).

126. And to Allh belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allh is Ever Encompassing all things.

127. They ask your legal instruction concerning women, say: Allh instructs you about them, and about what is recited unto you in the Book concerning the orphan girls whom you give not the prescribed portions (as regards Mahr and inheritance) and yet whom you desire to marry, and (concerning) the children who are weak and oppressed, and that you stand firm for justice to orphans. And whatever good you do, Allh is Ever AllAware of it.

128. And if a woman fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no sin on them both if they make terms of peace between themselves; and making peace is better. And human inner-selves are swayed by greed. But if you do good and keep away from evil, verily, Allh is Ever WellAcquainted with what you do.

129. You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married). And if you do justice, and do all that is right and fear Allh by keeping away from all that is wrong, then Allh is Ever OftForgiving, Most
