170 فَرِحِینَ بِمَاۤ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَیَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِٱلَّذِینَ لَمۡ یَلۡحَقُوا۟ بِهِم مِّنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ أَلَّا خَوۡفٌ عَلَیۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ یَحۡزَنُونَ ۝١٧٠ fariḥīna bimā ātāhumu l-lahu min faḍlihi wayastabshirūna bi-alladhīna lam yalḥaqū bihim min khalfihim allā khawfun ʿalayhim walā hum yaḥzanūn happy with what God has given them of His favour; rejoicing that for those they have left behind who have yet to join them there is no fear, nor will they grieve 171 ۞ یَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِنِعۡمَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضۡلࣲ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یُضِیعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٧١ yastabshirūna biniʿ'matin mina l-lahi wafaḍlin wa-anna l-laha lā yuḍīʿu ajra l-mu'minīn [rejoicing] in God’s blessing and favour, and that God will not let the reward of the believers be lost 172 ٱلَّذِینَ ٱسۡتَجَابُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَاۤ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلۡقَرۡحُۚ لِلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ مِنۡهُمۡ وَٱتَّقَوۡا۟ أَجۡرٌ عَظِیمٌ ۝١٧٢ alladhīna is'tajābū lillahi wal-rasūli min baʿdi mā aṣābahumu l-qarḥu lilladhīna aḥsanū min'hum wa-ittaqaw ajrun ʿaẓīmu Those who responded to God and the Messenger after suffering defeat, who do good and remain conscious of God, will have a great reward 173 ٱلَّذِینَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ قَدۡ جَمَعُوا۟ لَكُمۡ فَٱخۡشَوۡهُمۡ فَزَادَهُمۡ إِیمَـٰنࣰا وَقَالُوا۟ حَسۡبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡوَكِیلُ ۝١٧٣ alladhīna qāla lahumu l-nāsu inna l-nāsa qad jamaʿū lakum fa-ikh'shawhum fazādahum īmānan waqālū ḥasbunā l-lahu waniʿ'ma l-wakīl Those whose faith only increased when people said, ‘Fear your enemy: they have amassed a great army against you,’ and who replied, ‘God is enough for us: He is the best protector,’

They pursued God’s good pleasure. God’s favour is great indeed

175 إِنَّمَا ذَ ٰلِكُمُ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنُ یُخَوِّفُ أَوۡلِیَاۤءَهُۥ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمۡ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ ۝١٧٥ innamā dhālikumu l-shayṭānu yukhawwifu awliyāahu falā takhāfūhum wakhāfūni in kuntum mu'minīn It is Satan who urges you to fear his followers; do not fear them, but fear Me, if you are true believers 176 وَلَا یَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِینَ یُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِی ٱلۡكُفۡرِۚ إِنَّهُمۡ لَن یَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَیۡءࣰاۗ یُرِیدُ ٱللَّهُ أَلَّا یَجۡعَلَ لَهُمۡ حَظࣰّا فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمٌ ۝١٧٦ walā yaḥzunka alladhīna yusāriʿūna fī l-kuf'ri innahum lan yaḍurrū l-laha shayan yurīdu l-lahu allā yajʿala lahum ḥaẓẓan fī l-ākhirati walahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīmu [Prophet], do not be grieved by those who are quick to disbelieve. They will not harm God in the least; it is God’s will that they will have no share in the Hereafter- a terrible torment awaits them 177 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱشۡتَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ بِٱلۡإِیمَـٰنِ لَن یَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَیۡءࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ۝١٧٧ inna alladhīna ish'tarawū l-kuf'ra bil-īmāni lan yaḍurrū l-laha shayan walahum ʿadhābun alīmu Those who sell their faith for disbelief will not harm God in any way; agonizing torment awaits them 178 وَلَا یَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوۤا۟ أَنَّمَا نُمۡلِی لَهُمۡ خَیۡرࣱ لِّأَنفُسِهِمۡۚ إِنَّمَا نُمۡلِی لَهُمۡ لِیَزۡدَادُوۤا۟ إِثۡمࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ مُّهِینࣱ ۝١٧٨ walā yaḥsabanna alladhīna kafarū annamā num'lī lahum khayrun li-anfusihim innamā num'lī lahum liyazdādū ith'man walahum ʿadhābun muhīnu The disbelievers should not think that it is better for them that We give them more time: when We give them more time they become more sinful- a shameful torment awaits them
