Nor happeneth to you any mishap, but it is for your own handy-work: and yet he forgiveth many things.
Ye cannot weaken him on the earth: neither, beside God, patron or helper shall ye have.
Among his signs also are the sea-traversing ships like mountains: if such be his will, He lulleth the wind, and they lie motionless on the back of the waves:-truly herein are signs to all the constant, the grateful;-
Or if, for their ill deserts, He cause them to founder, still He forgiveth much:
But they who gainsay our signs shall know that there will be no escape for them.
All that you receive is but for enjoyment in this life present: but better and more enduring is a portion with God, for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord;
And who avoid the heinous things of crime, and filthiness, and when they are angered, forgive;
And who hearken to their Lord, and observe prayer, and whose affairs are guided by mutual COUNSEL, and who give alms of that with which we have enriched them;
And who, when a wrong is done them, redress themselves:
-Yet let the recompense of evil be only a like evil but he who forgiveth and is reconciled, shall be rewarded by God himself; for He loveth not those who act unjustly.
