Subject: The Servants of the Compassionate Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:47 am
[25:63] And the [true] servants of the Compassionate One are those who walk upon the earth modestly, and who, when the ignorant address them, say [words of] peace;
[25:64] and who spend the night before their Lord, prostrating and standing [in worship],
[25:65] and who say, 'Our Lord, avert from us from the chastisement of Hell. Truly its chastisement is abiding.
[25:66] It is truly a wretched abode and residence!'
[25:67] And who, when they expend, are neither prodigal nor parsimonious; but between such lies moderation;
[25:68] and [those] who do not call on another god along with God, nor slay the soul which God has forbidden, except with due cause, and who do not commit fornication - for whoever does that shall meet with retribution;
[25:69] doubled will be the chastisement for him on the Day of Resurrection and he will abide therein abased;
[25:70] except for him who repents, and believes, and acts righteously, for such, God will replace their evil deeds with good deeds, for God is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
[25:71] And whoever repents and acts righteously, indeed turns to God with due repentance;
[25:72] and those who do not give false testimony, and, when they come across senseless talk, they pass by with dignity;
[25:73] and those who, when they are reminded of the revelations of their Lord, do not fall on them deaf and blind;
[25:74] and those who say, 'Our Lord! Grant us in our spouses and our offspring a joyful sight, and make us paragons for the God-fearing'.
[25:75] Those, they will be rewarded with the sublime abode, forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will be met therein with a greeting and [words of] peace;
[25:76] abiding therein. Excellent is it as an abode and station.
