(for) the first of the two,
those of great military might
Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that Allah will not raise up those who die: Nay, but it is a promise (binding) on Him in truth: but most among mankind realise it not.
When the first of the warnings came to pass, We sent against you Our servants given to terrible warfare: They entered the very inmost parts of your homes; and it was a warning (completely) fulfilled.
So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"
The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it.
"For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: A promise to be prayed for from thy Lord."
Are (these two) alike?- one to whom We have made a goodly promise, and who is going to reach its (fulfilment), and one to whom We have given the good things of this life, but who, on the Day of Judgment, is to be among those brought up (for punishment)?
真主确已用乐园换取信士们的生命和财产。他们为真主而战斗;他们或杀敌致果,或杀身成仁。那是真实的应许,记录在《讨拉特》、《引支勒》和《古兰经》中。谁比真主更能践约呢?你们要为自己所缔结的契约而高兴。那正是伟大的成功。
他们指真主而发出最严重的誓言,说:“真主不使死人复活。”不然!这是他应当实践的诺言。但世人大半不知道。
当第一次作乱的约期来临的时候,我派遣我的许多强大的仆人去惩治你们,他们就搜索了住宅,那是要履行的诺言。
穆萨悲愤地转回去看他的宗族,他说:“我的宗族啊!难道你们的主,没有给你们一个美好的应许吗?你们觉得时间太长呢? 还是你们想应受从你们的主发出的谴责,因而你们违背了对我的约言呢?”
在那日,我将天卷起犹如卷轴将书画卷起一样。起初我怎样创造万物, 我要怎样使万物还原。这是我自愿应许的,我必实行它。
他们在乐园中得享受自己所意欲的(幸福)。他们将永居其中,这是可以向你的主要求实践的诺言。
得到我的美好的应许,而将获得实惠的人,与在今世生活中获得我的给养而在复活日被传唤者,彼此相似吗?
