And AllŒh has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored [i.e., given more] would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess [i.e., slaves] so they would be equal to them therein.[1] Then is it the favor of AllŒh they reject?

And if AllŒh had willed, He could have made you [of] one religion, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.[1] And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.

Sourate: AN-NAḤL

Whoever disbelieves in [i.e., denies] AllŒh after his belief...[1] except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from AllŒh, and for them is a great punishment;


1- Based upon the conclusion of this verse, the omitted phrase concerning the apostate is understood to be "...has earned the wrath of AllŒh..."


Sourate: AN-NAḤL 

Verset : 110

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا فُتِنُواْ ثُمَّ جَٰهَدُواْ وَصَبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ
