3.141 - And that Allah may purify those who have believed and destroy the unbelievers. 3.142 - Or did you think that you will enter the garden while Allah does not make evident those who strived from among and makes evident the patient. 3.143 - And you have certainly wished for death before you encountered it, so you have seen it while you are looking. 3.144 - And Muhammad is not except a messenger; messengers have already passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, you turn back on your heels? And whoever turns back on his heels, he will not harm Allah a thing; and Allah will reward the grateful. 3.145 - And it is not for a soul to die except with the permission of Allah, specified (in a) book. And whoever wants the reward of this world, We will give him thereof; and whoever wants the reward of the hereafter, We will give him thereof, and We will reward the grateful. 3.146 - And how many a prophet with whom fought many scholars; but they did not lessen in strength because of what has struck them in the way of Allah, and they did not weaken nor surrender. And Allah loves the patient. 3.147 - And their saying was not except that they said: Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our excess in our affair and make our feet firm and give us victory against the disbelieving people. 3.148 - So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the hereafter. And Allah loves those who do good. 3.149 - O you who have believed! If you obey those who have disbelieved, they will turn you back on your heels so that you will become losers. 3.150 - Rather, Allah is your Guardian and He is the best of helpers.
