be their collar on the Day of Resurrection. Allah’s is the
heritage of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Informed
of what ye do.
3:181 Verily Allah heard the saying of those who said,
(when asked for contributions to the war): “Allah, forsooth,
is poor, and we are rich!” We shall record their saying with
their slaying of the prophets wrongfully and We shall say:
Taste ye the punishment of burning!
3:182 This is on account of that which your own hands have
sent before (you to the judgment). Allah is no oppressor of
(His) bondmen.
3:183 (The same are) those who say: Lo! Allah hath charged
us that we BELIEVE not in any messenger until he bring us
an offering which fire (from heaven) shall devour. Say (unto
them, O Muhammad): Messengers came unto you before me
with miracles, and with that (very miracle) which ye
describe. Why then did ye slay them? (Answer that) if ye are
truthful!
3:184 And if they deny thee, even so did they deny
messengers who were before thee, who came with miracles
and with the Psalms and with the Scripture giving light.
3:185 Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on
the Day of Resurrection only that which ye have fairly
earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to
enter paradise, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this
world is but comfort of illusion.
3:186 Assuredly ye will be tried in your property and in
your persons, and ye will hear much wrong from those who
were given the Scripture before you, and from the idolaters.
But if ye persevere and ward off (evil), then that is of the
dana p.
