Translation of Verse 173-180

173. Those who were warned, "Your enemies have mobilized their forces against you, so fear them," the warning only made them grow stronger in faith and they replied, "Allah ˹alone˺ is sufficient ˹as an aid˺ for us and ˹He˺ is the best Protector."

174. So they returned with Allah's favours and grace, suffering no harm. For they sought to please Allah. And surely Allah is ˹the˺ Lord of infinite bounty.

175. That ˹warning˺ was only ˹from˺ Satan, trying to prompt you to fear his followers. ¹⁶³ So do not fear them; fear Me if you are ˹true˺ believers.

176. ˹O Prophet!˺ Do not grieve for those who race to disbelieve- surely they will not harm Allah in the least. It is Allah's Will to disallow them a share in the Hereafter, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment.

177. Those who trade belief for disbelief will never harm Allah in the least, and they will suffer a painful punishment.

178. Those who disbelieve should not think that living longer is good for them. They are only given more time to increase in sin, and they will suffer a humiliating punishment.

179. Allah would not leave the believers in the condition you were in, until He distinguished the good from the evil ˹among you˺. Nor would Allah ˹directly˺ reveal to you the unseen, ¹⁶⁴ but He chooses whoever He wills as a messenger. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you are faithful and mindful ˹of Allah˺, you will receive a great reward.

180. And do not let those who ˹greedily˺ withhold Allah's bounties think it is good for them-in fact, it is bad for them! They will be leashed ˹by their necks˺ on the Day of Judgment with whatever ˹wealth˺ they used to withhold. And Allah is the ˹sole˺ inheritor of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
