Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.

Those were the (prophets) who received Allah's guidance: Copy the guidance they received; Say: "No reward for this do I ask of you: This is no less than a message for the nations."

Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil ones, in preference to Allah, for their friends and protectors, and think that they receive guidance.

For We assuredly sent amongst every People a messenger, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).

He said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each (created) thing its form and nature, and further, gave (it) guidance."

Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright.

我这样以你们为中正的民族，以便你们作证世人，而使者作证你们。我以你原来所对的方向为朝向，只为辨别谁是顺从使者的，谁是背叛的。这确是一件难事，但在真主所引导的人，却不难。真主不致使你们的信仰徒劳无酬。真主对於世人，确是至爱的，确是至慈的。

这等人，是真主引导的人，你应当效法他们走正道。你说：“我不为这部经典而向你们索取报酬，这部经典是全世界的教训。”

一伙人，他曾加以引导；一伙人，是该迷误的（他曾加以弃绝）。他们确已舍真主而以恶魔为保佑者，还以为自己是遵循正道的。”

我在每个民族中，确已派遣一个使者，说：“你们当崇拜真主，当远离恶魔。”但他们中有真主所引导的，有应当迷误的。故你们当在大地上旅行，应当观察否认（使者）的人们的结局是怎样的。

他说：“我们的主，是天性赋予万物，而加以引导的。”

法老把他的百姓领入歧途，他未将他们引入正路。
