with the Islmic way of greeting (salutation i.e. AsSalmu 'Alaikum).

57. Verily, those who annoy Allh and His Messenger () Allh has cursed them in this world, and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating torment.

58. And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear on themselves the crime of slander and plain sin.

59. O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allh is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.

60. If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease (evil desire for adultery, etc.), and those who spread false news among the people in AlMadinah, cease not, We shall certainly let you overpower them, then they will not be able to stay in it as your neighbours but a little while.

61. Accursed, wherever found, they shall be seized and killed with a (terrible) slaughter.

62. That was the Way of Allh in the case of those who passed away of old, and you will not find any change in the Way of Allh.

63. People ask you concerning the Hour, say: "The knowledge of it is with Allh only. What do you know? It may be that the Hour is near!"

64. Verily, Allh has cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a flaming Fire (Hell).

65. Wherein they will abide for ever, and they will find neither a Wal (a protector) nor a helper.

66. On the Day when their faces will be turned over in the Fire, they will say: "Oh, would that we had obeyed Allh and obeyed the Messenger (Muhammad )."

67. And they will say: "Our Lord! Verily, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the (Right) Way.

68. Our Lord! give them double torment and curse them with a mighty curse!"

69. O you who believe! Be not like those who annoyed Msa (Moses), but Allh cleared him of that which they alleged, and he was honourable before Allh.

70. O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allh and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth.

71.  He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allh and His Messenger () he has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved from the Hell-fire and made to enter Paradise).

72. Truly, We did offer AlAmnah (the trust or moral responsibility or honesty and all the duties which Allh has ordained) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it (i.e. afraid of Allh's Torment). But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant (of its results).

73. So that Allh will punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the men and women who are AlMushrikn (the polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allh, and in His Messenger Muhammad ). And Allh will pardon (accept the repentance of) the true believers of the Islmic Monotheism, men and women. And Allh is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.
