Translation of Verse 130-143

130. O believers! Do not consume interest, multiplying it many times over. And be mindful of Allah, so you may prosper.

131. Guard yourselves against the Fire prepared for the disbelievers.

132. Obey Allah and the Messenger, so you may be shown mercy.

133. And hasten towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, prepared for those mindful ˹of Allah˺.

134. ˹They are˺ those who donate in prosperity and adversity, control their anger, and pardon others. And Allah loves the good- doers.

135. ˹They are˺ those who, upon committing an evil deed or wronging themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness and do not knowingly persist in sin-and who forgives sins except Allah?

136. Their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens under which rivers flow, staying there forever. How excellent is the reward for those who work ˹righteousness˺!

137. Similar situations came to pass before you, so travel throughout the land and see the fate of the deniers.

138. This ¹⁵⁷ is an insight to humanity-a guide and a lesson to the God-fearing.

139. Do not falter or grieve, for you will have the upper hand, if you are ˹true˺ believers.

140. If you have suffered injuries ˹at Uḥud˺, they suffered similarly ˹at Badr˺. We alternate these days ˹of victory and defeat˺ among people so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose martyrs from among you-and Allah does not like the wrongdoers-

141. and distinguish the ˹true˺ believers and destroy the disbelievers.

142. Do you think you will enter Paradise without Allah proving which of you ˹truly˺ struggled ˹for His cause˺ and patiently endured?

143. You certainly wished ˹for the opportunity˺ for martyrdom before encountering it, now you have seen it with your own eyes.

Commentary

157. "This" either refers to how the forces of evil are ultimately destroyed, or that the Quran is a reminder of the destruction of evildoers.
