86. When those who gave partners to Allah will see their "partners", they will
say: "Our Lord! these are our 'partners,' those whom we used to invoke besides
Thee." But they will throw back their word at them (and say): "Indeed ye are
liars!"
87. That Day shall they (openly) show (their) submission to Allah. and all their
inventions shall leave them in the lurch.
88. Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah - for them
will We add Penalty to Penalty; for that they used to spread mischief.
89. One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst
themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people): and
We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and
Glad Tidings to Muslims.
90. Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin,
and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs
you, that ye may receive admonition.
91. Fulfil the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it, and break not
your oaths after ye have confirmed them; indeed ye have made Allah your surety;
for Allah knoweth all that ye do.
92. And be not like a woman who breaks into untwisted strands the yarn which she
has spun, after it has become strong. Nor take your oaths to practise deception
between yourselves, lest one party should be more numerous than another: for
Allah will test you by this; and on the Day of Judgment He will certainly make
clear to you (the truth of) that wherein ye disagree.
93. If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying
whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called
to account for all your actions.
94. And take not your oaths, to practise deception between yourselves, with the
result that someone's foot may slip after it was firmly planted, and ye may have
to taste the evil (consequences) of having hindered (men) from the Path of
Allah, and a Mighty Wrath descend on you.
95. Nor sell the covenant of Allah for a miserable price: for with Allah is (a
prize) far better for you, if ye only knew.
96. What is with you must vanish: what is with Allah will endure. And We will
certainly bestow, on those who patiently persevere, their reward according to
the best of their actions.
97. Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him
will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such
their reward according to the best of their actions.
