 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Allah's Commandment & Characteristics - People of Taqwa :

Obey Allah and the Messenger, so that you may be blessed.

Race with one another towards Forgiveness from your Lord and towards a paradise the width of which spans the heavens and the earth. It has been prepared for the God-fearing,

-the ones who spend (for Allah’s sake) in prosperity and adversity, and those who control anger and forgive people. And Allah loves those who are good in their deeds,

-and those who, when they happen to commit a shameful act or wrong themselves, remember Allah, then, seek forgiveness for their sins-and who is there to forgive sins except Allah?-and do not persist in what they have done, knowingly.

Their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow where they shall live forever. And excellent is the reward of those who work.

Many patterns of behavior have passed before you. So, traverse the land and see what was the fate of those who rejected (the prophets).

This is a declaration for mankind, and guidance, and a lesson for the God-fearing.

Do not lose heart and do not grieve, and you are the upper-most if you are believers.

If you have received a wound, they have received a similar wound. Such days We rotate among the people, so that Allah may know those who believe and let some of you be martyrs - and Allah does not like the unjust

- and so that Allah may purify those who believe and eradicate the disbelievers.

Do you think that you shall enter Paradise even before Allah knows those of you who carry out Jihād and those who are steadfast.

You had longed for death before you faced it. Now, you have seen it with your eyes wide open.

MuHammad is but a messenger, there have been messengers before him. So, if he dies or is killed, would you turn back on your heels? 

Whoever turns back on his heels can never harm Allah in the least. Allah shall soon reward the grateful.

It is not the choice of a person to die without the will of Allah, death being a time-bound destiny. 

Whoever seeks a reward in this world, We shall give him out of it, and whoever seeks a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give him out of it. We shall soon reward the grateful.

There have been many prophets with whom many men of Allah have fought; they did not lose heart for what they suffered in the way of Allah, nor did they become weak, nor did they yield. Allah loves the steadfast.

They had nothing else to say except that they said: “Our Lord, forgive us our sins and our excesses in our conduct, make firm our feet and help us against the disbelieving people.”

So, Allah gave them the return in this world and also the better rewards in the Hereafter. Allah loves those who do good.
