Sura Al-Taubah from 21 to 26


21. Their Lord gives them glad tidings of Mercy from Him, and His being pleased ( with them ) , and of Gardens ( Paradise ) for them wherein are everlasting delights.
22. They will dwell therein forever. Verily, with Allâh is a great reward.
23. O you who believe! Take not as Auliyâ’ ( supporters and helpers ) your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief. And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the Zâlimûn ( wrong- doers ) .
24. Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight are dearer to you than Allâh and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause, [ 1 ] then wait until Allâh brings about His Decision ( torment ) . And Allâh guides not the people who are Al- Fâsiqûn ( the rebellious, disobedient to Allâh ) .
25. Truly Allâh has given you victory on many battle fields, and on the Day of Hunain ( battle ) when you rejoiced at your great number, but it availed you naught and the earth, vast as it is, was straitened for you, then you turned back in flight.
26. Then Allâh did send down His Sakînah ( calmness, tranquillity and reassurance ) on the Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) , and on the believers, and sent down forces ( angels ) which you saw not, and punished the disbelievers. Such is the recompense of disbelievers.
