(the) remembrance of Allah.
Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.
Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of Allah! they are manifestly wandering (in error)!
(Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast;
Have We not expanded thee thy breast?-
Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.
既信真主之后,又表示不信者--除非被迫宣称不信、内心却为信仰而坚定者--为不信而心情舒畅者将遭天谴,并受重大的刑罚。
真主为伊斯兰而开拓其胸襟,故能接受主的光明者,难道跟胸襟狭隘的人一样吗?悲哉为记忆真主而心硬者,这等人是在明显的迷误中的。
他说:“我的主啊!求你使我的心情舒畅,
难道我没有为你而开拓你的胸襟吗?
真主欲使谁遵循正道,就使谁的心胸为伊斯兰而敞开;真主欲使谁误入迷途,就使谁的心胸狭隘,(要他信道),难如登天。真主这样以刑罚加于不信道的人。
