Sura 42, Ukurasa 487, Juzuu 25

30. Whatever misfortune befalls you is a consequence of your own deeds. But much of it He forgives. 31. You cannot frustrate Him in the earth; you have no protector nor helper against Allah. 32. And of His Signs are the ships that sail in the sea like mountains. 33. If He so wills, He can cause the winds to become still so that they will remain motionless on its surface. Surely there are many Signs in this for those who are wont to be steadfast and give thanks. 34. He may, while forgiving much of the sins of those that ride these ships, drown them on account of some of their misdeeds. 35. Then those who wrangle about Our Signs will come to know that there is no escape for them. 36. That which has been given to you is only the wherewithal of the transient life of this world. But that which is with Allah is better and more enduring for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord; 37. who eschew grave sins and shameful deeds, and whenever they are angry, forgive; 38. who obey their Lord and establish Prayer; who conduct their affairs by consultation, and spend out of what We have bestowed upon them; 39. who, when a wrong is done to them, seek its redress. 40. The recompense of evil is evil the like of it. But he who forgives and makes amends, his reward lies with Allah.Surely He does not love the wrong-doers. 41. There is no blame against him who avenges himself after he has been wronged. 42. Blame attaches only to those who subject people to wrong and commit excesses on earth. A painful chastisement awaits them. 43. But he who patiently endures and forgives, that is a conduct of great resolve.
