Ayah: 30

وَلَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَأَرَيۡنَٰكَهُمۡ فَلَعَرَفۡتَهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمۡۚ وَلَتَعۡرِفَنَّهُمۡ فِي لَحۡنِ ٱلۡقَوۡلِۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ

30.  Had We willed, We could have shown them to you, so that you would indeed know them by their marks and and indeed you will surely know them by the tone 'of their' speech. Allāh knows all your deeds.

Ayah: 31

وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُمۡ حَتَّىٰ نَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡمُجَٰهِدِينَ مِنكُمۡ وَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ وَنَبۡلُوَاْ أَخۡبَارَكُمۡ

31. We shall certainly test you until We make evident those among you who strive hard (for the Cause of Allāh), and the patient ones, and We will test your tidings.

Ayah: 32

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَشَآقُّواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَسَيُحۡبِطُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ

32. Indeed, those who disbelieve (in the Truth), and hinder (people) from Allah’s Way, and oppose the Messenger (Muhammad) after the guidance has become clear to them, they cannot harm Allāh in any way, and He will make void their deeds.

Ayah: 33

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَلَا تُبۡطِلُوٓاْ أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ

33. O believers, obey Allāh and obey the messenger (Muhammad), and do not invalidate your 'good' deeds9.

9. One of the well-established facts that is affirmed by the Qur’an is that sins and major sins do not erase all of the good deeds of the believer, and that there is nothing that erases the good deeds of a believer altogether except denial of faith and polytheism i.e., associating partners (equals) with Allāh.

Ayah: 34

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٞ فَلَن يَغۡفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡ

34. Indeed, those who disbelieve (in the Truth) and hinder 'people' from Allah’s Way, then die while they are disbelievers - Allāh will never forgive them.

Ayah: 35

فَلَا تَهِنُواْ وَتَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّلۡمِ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَوۡنَ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَكُمۡ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ

35. So do not be weak hearted and call for (unjust) peace (settlement) and you have the upper hand. And Allāh is with you, and He will never deprive you of (the reward of) your good deeds.

Ayah: 36

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لَعِبٞ وَلَهۡوٞۚ وَإِن تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ يُؤۡتِكُمۡ أُجُورَكُمۡ وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلۡكُمۡ أَمۡوَٰلَكُمۡ

36. The life of this world is only play and amusement. And If you believe10 and guard yourselves (against evil), He will give you your rewards, and will not ask you your wealth11.

10. in Allāh and His messenger Muhammad
11. All of it, rather, only the alms that are required from it for the poor.

Ayah: 37

إِن يَسۡـَٔلۡكُمُوهَا فَيُحۡفِكُمۡ تَبۡخَلُواْ وَيُخۡرِجۡ أَضۡغَٰنَكُمۡ

37. If He should ask you of it (O peopl), and press you, you would be niggardly, and He would bring forth your unwillingness,

Ayah: 38

هَٰٓأَنتُمۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ تُدۡعَوۡنَ لِتُنفِقُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَمِنكُم مَّن يَبۡخَلُۖ وَمَن يَبۡخَلۡ فَإِنَّمَا يَبۡخَلُ عَن نَّفۡسِهِۦۚ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلۡفُقَرَآءُۚ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوۡاْ يَسۡتَبۡدِلۡ قَوۡمًا غَيۡرَكُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوٓاْ أَمۡثَٰلَكُم

38. Here you are - being called to spend in the cause of Allāh - then among you are those who are stingy. Whoever is stingy, is stingy against his own self. Allāh is Rich (free of all needs) and you are poor who stand in need (of Him). If you 'still' turn away, He will replace you with another people, then they will not be like you.
