وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى

31. To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, that He may recompense those who do evil according to what they do, and reward those who do good with goodness.

32. Those who stay away from major sins⁹ and indecencies, except minor lapses. Your Lord (Allah) is vast in Forgiveness. He knows best about you. When He created you from the earth, and when you were embryos in your mother's wombs. So do not be wise in your own eyes. He (Allah) knows best who fear Him and shun evil.

9. Muhammad, God's messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: “Avoid the major sins, follow the right course, and give glad tidings.”

آیه: 33

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ

34. And grudgingly spent very little (for the Cause of God), and then refrained.

آیه: 35

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ

آیه: 38

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ

38. That no one shall bear (responsibility for) the sin of another¹⁰,

10. Unless they encourage or assist others to sin - perfect Justice from Allah.

آیه: 39

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

39. And that man shall have only what he himself strives for¹¹,

11. There is no doubt about the fact that man cannot make any progress without effort and hard work. For example, one who studies whole-heartedly becomes a scholar. Similarly, a farmer who ploughs the farm, sows seeds in it and waters them, is soon rewarded with crops. On the other hand, whoever is lazy and indolent and does not do any work, is faced with woes and worries. Indolence and irresponsibility results in poverty and grief, and Islam dislikes these traits very much. Islam regards hard work a duty. One who works is much better than one who does not work. Allah does not love those who sleep too much, and do not work. Laziness and idleness is the root of many evil things.

آیه: 40

وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ

40. And that his strivings shall soon be seen -

آیه: 41

ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

41. Then he shall be rewarded for it with the fullest reward,

آیه: 42

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

42. And to your Lord (Allah) is the End (and the Return of all after their death).

آیه: 43

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

43. It is He (Allah) Who causes you laugh¹² or weep¹³.

12. The Qur’an is clear that there is a time for us to laugh, time to weep, a time to mourn and a time to play. Obviously, it is not appropriate to laugh during a somber event or a serious conversation; however, there are moments when laughter is welcomed and we should enjoy the blessing. Allah wants us to laugh, and He wants us to make other people laugh. That does not mean we should all become jesters or laugh at inappropriate times, but we can certainly aid one another in taking a more lighthearted approach to life.
13. If Allah’s servants did cry out to Him, He would forgive their sins and renew their spiritual strength and vitality. When our distinct cries of repentance and trust reach Allah, He hears them, forgives us, and renews our joy and hope in Him.

آیه: 44

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡيَا

44. It is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life.

آیه: 47

وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ

47. And on Him depends the life of the Hereafter.

آیه: 48

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰ

48. It is He (Allah) Who gives people temporary and durable wealth.

آیه: 49

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰ

49. It is He Who is the Lord of Sirius¹⁴.

14. The star which the pagans used to wrongly worship.

آیه: 50

وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

50. It is He (Allah) Who utterly destroyed the ‘Aad (people) of old.

آیه: 51

وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰ

51. And Thamud (people), so He spared none of them.

آیه: 52

آیه: 58

لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ

58. None but Allah can disclose it or remove it's hardship.

آیه: 59

أَفَمِنۡ هَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ تَعۡجَبُونَ
