#305 Podcast Al Qur'an Juz 18 QS 24 An Nur 51-57

[Quran Chapter 24] 51. The response of the believers, when they are called to Allah and His Messenger in order to judge between them, is to say, "We hear and we obey." These are the successful. 52. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, and fears Allah, and is conscious of Him—these are the winners. 53. And they swear by Allah with their solemn oaths, that if you commanded them, they would mobilize. Say, "Do not swear. Obedience will be recognized. Allah is experienced with what you do." 54. Say, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger." But if they turn away, then he is responsible for his obligations, and you are responsible for your obligations. And if you obey him, you will be guided. It is only incumbent on the Messenger to deliver the Clarifying Message. 55. Allah has promised those of you who believe and do righteous deeds, that He will make them successors on earth, as He made those before them successors, and He will establish for them their religion—which He has approved for them—and He will substitute security in place of their fear. They worship Me, never associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that—these are the sinners. 56. Pray regularly, and give regular charity, and obey the Messenger, so that you may receive mercy. 57. Never think that those who disbelieve can escape on earth. Their place is the Fire; a miserable destination.
