(horrible) torment.

102. And (there are) others who have acknowledged their sins, they have mixed a deed that was righteous with another that was evil. Perhaps Allh will turn unto them in forgiveness. Surely, Allh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful .

103. Take Sadaqah (alms) from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it, and invoke Allh for them. Verily! Your invocations are a source of security for them, and Allh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

104. Know they not that Allh accepts repentance from His slaves and takes the Sadaqt (alms, charities) and that All&achrc;h Alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful?

105. And say (O Muhammad ) "Do deeds! Allh will see your deeds, and (so will) His Messenger and the believers. And you will be brought back to the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. Then He will inform you of what you used to do."

106. And others await Allh's Decree, whether He will punish them or will forgive them. And Allh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

107. And as for those who put up a mosque by way of harming and disbelief, and to disunite the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allh and His Messenger (Muhammad ) aforetime, they will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good. Allh bears witness that they are certainly liars.

108. Never stand you therein. Verily, the mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allh loves those who make themselves clean and pure (i.e. who clean their private parts with dust [i.e. to be considered as soap) and water from urine and stools, after answering the call of nature].

109. Is it then he, who laid the foundation of his building on piety to Allh and His Good Pleasure, better, or he who laid the foundation of his building on an undetermined brink of a precipice ready to crumble down, so that it crumbled to pieces with him into the Fire of Hell. And Allh guides not the people who are the Zlimn (cruel, violent, proud, polytheist and wrong-doer).

110. The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of hypocrisy and doubt in their hearts, unless their hearts are cut to pieces. (i.e. till they die). And Allh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

111. Verily, Allh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurt (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'n. And who is truer to his covenant than Allh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .

112. (The believers whose lives Allh has purchased are) those who repent to Allh (from polytheism and hypocrisy, etc.), who worship Him, who praise Him, who fast (or go out in Allh's Cause), who bow down (in prayer), who prostrate themselves (in prayer), who enjoin (people) for Al-Ma'rf (i.e. Islmic Monotheism and all what Islm has ordained) and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and all that Islm has forbidden), and who observe the limits set by Allh (do all that Allh has ordained and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allh has forbidden). And give glad tidings to the believers.

113. It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allh's Forgiveness for the Mushrikn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allh) even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in a state of disbelief).

114. And [Ibrahm's (Abraham)] invoking (of Allh) for his father's forgiveness was only because of a promise he [Ibrahm (Abraham)] had made to him (his father). But when it became clear to him [Ibrahm (Abraham)] that he (his
