Chapter 15, Page 267, Juz 14

87. We have certainly granted you the seven often-repeated verses and the great Quran. 88. Do not let your eyes crave the ˹fleeting˺ pleasures We have provided for some of the disbelievers, nor grieve for them. And be gracious to the believers. 89. And say, “I am truly sent with a clear warning”— 90. ˹a warning˺ similar to what We sent to those who divided ˹the Scriptures˺, 91. who ˹now˺ accept parts of the Quran, rejecting others. 92. So by your Lord! We will certainly question them all 93. about what they used to do. 94. So proclaim what you have been commanded, and turn away from the polytheists. 95. Surely We will be sufficient for you against the mockers, 96. who set up ˹other˺ gods with Allah. They will soon come to know. 97. We certainly know that your heart is truly distressed by what they say. 98. So glorify the praises of your Lord and be one of those who ˹always˺ pray, 99. and worship your Lord until the inevitable comes your way.
