DIVINE SOULS
Believers, do not devour usury, doubling. Have fear
of God and you shall prosper. Guard yourselves
against the fire of Hell prepared for unbelievers.
Obey God and the Prophet that you may find
mercy. Vie with each other to earn the forgiveness
of your Lord and a Paradise as vast as heaven and
earth, prepared for the righteous; those who give
alms alike in prosperity and adversity; who curb
their anger and forgive their fellow people. God
loves the charitable. And who, if they commit evil
or wrong their souls, remember God and seek
forgiveness for their sins—who but God forgives
sins—and do not knowingly persist in their
misdeeds. These shall be rewarded with forgiveness
from their Lord and Gardens underneath which
running streams flow, where they shall dwell
forever, How excellent is the wage of those who
labour.
(3; 130-136)
