22:6 That is because Allah is the Truth; He alone gives life to the dead, and He is the Most Capable of all things.

22:7 The Hour is certainly coming; there is no doubt about it, and Allah will surely resurrect those who are in the graves.

22:8 There are some people who argue about Allah without knowledge, guidance or an enlightening scripture.

22:9 They turn their faces away [in arrogance] to lead people away from Allah’s way. For them there will be disgrace in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection We will make them taste the punishment of the burning fire.

22:10 “This is because of what your hands have sent forth, and Allah is not unjust to His slaves.”

22:11 There are some people who worship Allah on the edge [of faith][1]: if something good comes to them, they are content; but if they are afflicted with a trial, they turn back[2], thus losing both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss.

22:12 They invoke besides Allah what can neither harm nor benefit them. That is the farthest misguidance.

22:13 They invoke those whose harm is more likely than their benefit. What a terrible protector and what a terrible associate!

22:14 Allah will surely admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens under which rivers flow. Allah surely does what He wills.

22:15 Whoever thinks that Allah will never help His Prophet in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and strangle himself, then let him see if his effort can remove what enrages him[1].
