Obey God, therefore, and obey the Apostle: but if ye turn away, our Apostle is only charged with a plain message:—
God, there is no God but He! Then in God let the faithful trust.
O ye who believe! verily in your wives and your children ye have an adversary, wherefore beware of them. But if ye relent and pardon and forgive, then verily God too is Forgiving and Merciful.
Your wealth and your children are but a snare: but God, with Him is the great reward.
Then fear God with all your might, and hear and obey, and give alms for your own sakes; and whoso is saved from his own covetousness,—these it is who prosper.
If ye lend God a good loan, He will double it to you, and will forgive you: for God is Grateful, Mild,
Knowing the secret and the open; the Mighty, the Wise!
(lxiv.)
