Chapter 39, Page 460, Juz 23

10. Say ˹O Prophet, that Allah says˺, “O My servants who believe! Be mindful of your Lord. Those who do good in this world will have a good reward. And Allah’s earth is spacious. Only those who endure patiently will be given their reward without limit.” 11. Say, “I am commanded to worship Allah, being sincerely devoted to Him ˹alone˺. 12. And I am commanded to be the first of those who submit ˹to His Will˺.” 13. Say, “I truly fear—if I were to disobey my Lord—the torment of a tremendous Day.” 14. Say, “It is ˹only˺ Allah that I worship, being sincere in my devotion to Him. 15. Worship then whatever ˹gods˺ you want instead of Him.” Say, “The ˹true˺ losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on Judgment Day. That is indeed the clearest loss.” 16. They will have layers of fire above and below them. That is what Allah warns His servants with. So fear Me, O My servants! 17. And those who shun the worship of false gods, turning to Allah ˹alone˺, will have good news. So give good news to My servants ˹O Prophet˺— 18. those who listen to what is said and follow the best of it. These are the ones ˹rightly˺ guided by Allah, and these are ˹truly˺ the people of reason.
