Chapter 39, Page 460, Juz 23

10. Say, ‘[God says], believing servants, be mindful of your Lord! Those who do good in this world will have a good reward- God’s earth is wide––and those who persevere patiently will be given a full and unstinting reward.’ 11. Say, ‘I have been commanded to serve God, dedicating my worship entirely to Him. 12. I have been commanded to be the first to submit.’ 13. Say, ‘I fear the torment of a terrible Day if I disobey my Lord.’ 14. Say, ‘It is God I serve, dedicating my worship entirely to Him- 15. you may serve whatever you please beside Him.’ Say, ‘The true losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their people on the Day of Resurrection: that is the most obvious loss. 16. They will have layers of Fire above them and below.’ This is how God puts fear into His servants: My servants, beware of Me. 17. There is good news for those who shun the worship of false gods and turn to God, so [Prophet] give good news to My servants 18. who listen to what is said and follow what is best. These are the ones God has guided; these are the people of understanding.
