Translation of Verse 81-91

81. ˹Remember˺ when Allah made a covenant with the prophets, ˹saying,˺ "Now that I have given you the Book and wisdom, if there comes to you a messenger ¹⁴⁵ confirming what you have, you must believe in him and support him." He added, "Do you affirm this covenant and accept this commitment?" They said, "Yes, we do." Allah said, "Then bear witness, and I too am a Witness."

82. Whoever turns back after this, they will be the rebellious.

83. Do they desire a way other than Allah's-knowing that all those in the heavens and the earth submit to His Will, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will ˹all˺ be returned?

84. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord-we make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we ˹fully˺ submit."

85. Whoever seeks a way other than Islam, ¹⁴⁶ it will never be accepted from them, and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers.

86. How will Allah guide a people who chose to disbelieve after they had believed, acknowledged the Messenger to be true, and received clear proofs? For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

87. Their reward is that they will be condemned by Allah, the angels, and all of humanity.

88. They will be in Hell forever. Their punishment will not be lightened, nor will they be delayed ˹from it˺.

89. As for those who repent afterwards and mend their ways, then surely Allah is All- Forgiving, Most Merciful.

90. Indeed, those who disbelieve after having believed then increase in disbelief, their repentance will never be accepted. ¹⁴⁷ It is they who are astray.

91. Indeed, if each of those who disbelieve then die as disbelievers were to offer a ransom of enough gold to fill the whole world, it would never be accepted from them. It is they who will suffer a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.
