47:1Those who disbelieve and repel from the path of God—He nullifies their works.

47:2While those who believe, and work righteousness, and believe in what was sent down to Muhammad—and it is the truth from their Lord—He remits their sins, and relieves their concerns.

47:3That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehoods, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. God thus cites for the people their examples.

47:4When you encounter those who disbelieve, strike at their necks. Then, when you have routed them, bind them firmly. Then, either release them by grace, or by ransom, until war lays down its burdens. Had God willed, He could have defeated them Himself, but He thus tests some of you by means of others. As for those who are killed in the way of God, He will not let their deeds go to waste.

47:5He will guide them, and will improve their state of mind.

47:8But as for those who disbelieve, for them is perdition, and He will waste their deeds.

47:9That is because they hated what God revealed, so He nullified their deeds.

47:12God will admit those who believe and do good deeds into gardens beneath which rivers flow. As for those who disbelieve, they enjoy themselves, and eat as cattle eat, and the Fire will be their dwelling.

47:14Is he who stands upon evidence from his Lord, like someone whose evil deed is made to appear good to him? And they follow their own desires?

47:15The likeness of the Garden promised to the righteous: in it are rivers of pure water, and rivers of milk forever fresh, and rivers of wine delightful to the drinkers, and rivers of strained honey. And therein they will have of every fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. Like one abiding in the Fire forever, and are given to drink boiling water, that cuts-up their bowels?

47:16Among them are those who listen to you, but when they leave your presence, they say to those given knowledge, “What did he say just now?” Those are they whose hearts God has sealed, and they follow their own desires.

47:17As for those who are guided, He increases them in guidance, and He has granted them their righteousness.

47:23Those are they whom God has cursed. He made them deaf, and blinded their sight.

47:24Will they not ponder the Quran? Or are there locks upon their hearts?

47:26That is because they said to those who hated what God has revealed, “We will obey you in certain matters.” But God knows their secret thoughts.

47:27How about when the angels take them at death, beating their faces and their backs?

47:28That is because they pursued what displeases God, and they disliked His approval, so He nullified their works.

47:29Do those in whose hearts is sickness think that God will not expose their malice?

47:30Had We willed, We could have shown them to you, and you would have recognized them by their marks. Yet you will recognize them by their tone of speech. And God knows your actions.

47:32Those who disbelieve, and hinder from the path of God, and oppose the Messenger after guidance has become clear to them—they will not hurt God in the least, but He will nullify their deeds.
