UDL: "Taqwa: Consciousness Of Allah In All Things At All Times" (IV) Continued

2:  1. A.L.M. 

“THOSE WHO HAVE HOPE”

     2. This is the Book; in it is guidance sure without doubt for those who practice being conscious of Allah in the way Allah wants them to be conscious.

     3. Who believe in the Unseen are steadfast in prayer and spend out of what We have provided for them.

     4. And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee and sent before thy time and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.

     5. They are on (true) guidance from their Lord and it is these who will prosper.

“THOSE WHO HAVE NO HOPE”

     6. As to those who reject Faith it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.

     7. Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).

     8. Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" but they do not (really) believe.

     9. Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe but they only deceive themselves and realize (it) not!

     10. In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease and grievous is the penalty they (incur) because they are false (to themselves).
