Translation of Verse 19-26

19. Can the one who knows that your Lord's revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ is the truth be like the one who is blind? None will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason.

20. ˹They are˺ those who honour Allah's covenant, never breaking the pledge;

21. and those who maintain whatever ˹ties˺ Allah has ordered to be maintained, stand in awe of their Lord, and fear strict judgment.

22. And ˹they are˺ those who endure patiently, seeking their Lord's pleasure, ⁴⁷² establish prayer, donate from what We have provided for them-secretly and openly-and respond to evil with good. It is they who will have the ultimate abode:

23. the Gardens of Eternity, which they will enter along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, ˹saying,˺

24. "Peace be upon you for your perseverance. How excellent is the ultimate abode!"

25. And those who violate Allah's covenant after it has been affirmed, break whatever ˹ties˺ Allah has ordered to be maintained, and spread corruption in the land-it is they who will be condemned and will have the worst abode. ⁴⁷³

26. Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. And the disbelievers become prideful of ˹the pleasures of˺ this worldly life. But the life of this world, compared to the Hereafter, is nothing but a fleeting enjoyment.
