6:158 Are they waiting for anything but the coming of the angels, or the coming of your Lord, or the coming of some of your Lord’s signs[1]? On the Day when some of your Lord’s signs come, belief will be of no benefit to those who did not believe before, or those who did not do some good through their faith. Say, “Wait then; we too are waiting.”

6:159 Those who have made divisions in their religion and turned into factions[1], you have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with Allah alone; He will inform them of what they used to do.

6:160 Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded tenfold, but whoever comes with an evil deed will only be punished with its like, and none will be wronged.

6:161 Say [O Prophet], “Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the faith of Abraham, inclining to the true faith[1], and he was not one of those who associate partners with Allah.”

6:162 Say, “Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are all for Allah[1], Lord of the worlds.

6:163 He has no partner. This is what I have been commanded, and I am the first to submit to Allah.”

6:164 Say [O Prophet], “Should I seek a lord other than Allah, when He is the Lord of everything?” Every soul will face the consequences of its actions. No bearer of burden will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.

6:165 It is He Who has made you successors on earth and raised some of you over others in ranks, so that He may test you with that which He has given you. Your Lord is swift in punishment, and He is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
