Those who have believed and have not adulterated their faith with the least injustice are the ones who will have peace and they will be rightly guided; for them the gates of heaven will be opened. We desire to send down on you more mysteries from heaven and We shall shatter the enemies completely and shall show Pharaoh and H a m a n and their hosts that of which they were afraid. Say: O you who disbelieve, I am of the truthful ones, so await my Signs for a while. We shall show them Our Signs in the universe and in their own selves. (On that day) proof will be completed and there will be open victory.

This is Allah’s grace and it is strange in your eyes. Peace be on you. We have sent you down as a proof and Allah is All- Powerful. Blessings on you and peace. Peace is the word from the Merciful Lord. You are able and shall therefore receive plentiful rain.

Believers will be tried and then security will be restored to you. It may be that you dislike a thing which might be the better for you. Allah knows and you do not know. The mill will revolve and the decree will descend. The grace of Allah is sure to come and no one will be able to obstruct it. Say: Yea, by my Lord, this is the truth, it will not be changed nor will it remain hidden. A matter will arise which will cause you to wonder. This is revelation from the Lord of high heavens. My Lord does not err, nor does He forget. (You will have) clear victory. We give them respite during a fixed term. You are with Me and I am with you. Say: everything is in the power of Allah and then leave him in his error and pride. He is with you, He ** See Arba‘īn, R uh ān i Khazā’in, vol. 17, pp. 44 footnote and 394 footnote [Publishers]
