The Day of Defeat and Victory

this way, man can never be in doubt as to which principles to adopt in his life. □ The Day of Defeat and Victory It was He who created you. Yet some of you are unbelievers, while others have faith. He is cognizant of all your actions. He created the heavens and the earth to manifest the Truth and He formed you and gave you good shapes. To Him you shall all return. He knows what the heavens and the earth contain, and knows all that you hide and all that you reveal. He knows what is in your hearts. Have you not heard of those who disbelieved before you? They tasted the fruit of their unbelief, and a grievous punishment is yet in store for them. That is because, when their apostles brought them clear signs, they said: ‘Shall mortals be our guides?’ They denied the truth and gave no heed. But God was in no need of them: He is Selfsufficient and Glorious. The unbelievers think that they will not be raised from the dead. Say: ‘By the Lord, you shall assuredly be raised to life! Then you shall be told of all that you have done. That is easy enough for God.’ Believe then in God and His Apostle and in the light which We have revealed. God has knowledge of all your actions. The day on which He will assemble you, the day on which you shall all be gathered—that shall be a day of mutual loss and gain. Those who believe in God and do what is right shall be forgiven their sins and admitted to gardens watered by running streams, where they shall dwell forever. That is the supreme triumph. (Quran, 64:2-9)
