Surah Aal-i-Imraan · Ayah 179·Madanī

179

مَّا عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّىٰ مِنَ وَمَا عَلَى وَلَٰكِنَّ مِن مَن وَإِن فَلَكُمْ ﴿١٧٩﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Allah would not leave the believers in that [state] you are in [presently] until He separates the evil from the good. Nor would Allah reveal to you the unseen. But [instead], Allah chooses of His messengers whom He wills, so believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you is a great reward.
