003.158 Y:  And if ye die, or are slain, Lo! it is unto Allah that ye are brought together.

P:  What though ye be slain or die, when unto Allah ye are gathered?

S:  And if indeed you die or you are slain, certainly to Allah shall you be gathered together.

003.159 Y:  It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee:  so pass over (Their faults), and ask for (Allah’s) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment).  Then, when thou hast Taken a decision put thy trust in Allah.  For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).

P:  It was by the mercy of Allah that thou wast lenient with them (O Muhammad), for if thou hadst been stern and fierce of heart they would have dispersed from round about thee.  So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs.  And when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah.  Lo!  Allah loveth those who put their trust (in Him).

S:  Thus it is due to mercy from Allah that you deal with them gently, and had you been rough, hard hearted, they would certainly have dispersed from around you; pardon them therefore and ask pardon for them, and take counsel with them in the affair; so when you have decided, then place your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who trust.

003.160 Y:  If Allah helps you, none can overcome you:  If He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? in Allah, then, let believers put their trust.

P:  If Allah is your helper none can overcome you, and if He withdraw His help from you, who is there who can help you after Him?  In Allah let believers put their trust.

S:  If Allah assists you, then there is none that can overcome you, and if He forsakes you, who is there then that can assist you after Him?  And on Allah should the believers rely.

003.161 Y:  No prophet could (ever) be false to his trust.  If any person is so false, He shall, on the Day of Judgment, restore what he misappropriated; then shall every soul receive its due,- whatever it earned,- and none shall be dealt with unjustly.

P:  It is not for any prophet to embezzle.  Whoso embezzleth will bring what he embezzled with him on the Day of Resurrection.  Then every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned; and they will not be wronged.

S:  And it is not attributable to a prophet that he should act unfaithfully; and he who acts unfaithfully shall bring that in respect of which he has acted unfaithfully on the day of resurrection; then shall every soul be paid back fully what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.

003.162 Y:  Is the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah Like the man who draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and whose abode is in Hell?- A woeful refuge!

P:  Is one who followeth the pleasure of Allah as one who hath earned condemnation from Allah, whose habitation is the Fire, a hapless journey’s end?
