But those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and believe in what was sent down upon Muḥammad — and it is the truth from their Lord — He will remove from them their evil deeds, and make right their state.

## Verse 3

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْبَاطِلَ وَاَنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْحَقَّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۜ   كَذٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ اَمْثَالَهُمْ

Thalika bi-anna allatheenakafaroo ittabaAAoo albatila waanna allatheena amanooittabaAAoo alhaqqa min rabbihim kathalika yadribuAllahu linnasi amthalahum

For it is that those who ignore warning follow falsehood, and that those who heed warning follow the truth from their Lord! Thus does God strike for men their similitudes.

## Verse 4

فَاِذَا لَق۪يتُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَٓا اَثْخَنْتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثَاقَۙ فَاِمَّا مَناًّ بَعْدُ وَاِمَّا فِدَٓاءً حَتّٰى تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ اَوْزَارَهَاۚۛ ذٰلِكَۜۛ وَلَوْ يَشَٓاءُ اللّٰهُ لَانْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْۙ وَلٰكِنْ لِيَبْلُوَ۬ا بَعْضَكُمْ بِبَعْضٍۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ قُتِلُوا ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ فَلَنْ يُضِلَّ اَعْمَالَهُمْ

And when you meet those who ignore warning: — then the smiting of the necks. When you have battled them strenuously, then make strong the bonds; then: — either grace thereafter or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. That when, had God willed, He would have taken revenge upon them; but that He might try some of you by means of others[...]. And those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not send their deeds astray;

Thalika bi-anna Allaha mawlaallatheena amanoo waanna alkafireena lamawla lahum

(The likeness of the Garden which is promised those of prudent fear: therein are rivers of water incorruptible, and rivers of milk of unchanging taste, and rivers of wine delightful to the drinkers, and rivers of purified honey; and they have therein every fruit, and pardon from their Lord.) — like: him who abides eternally in the Fire, and they are given to drink scalding water that lacerates their bowels?
