    Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur’ân and Islâmic Monotheism, etc.).[1]

    (V.84:22) It is obligatory to have Belief in the Messengership of the Prophet (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "By Him (Allâh) in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, there is none from amongst the Jews and Christians (of these present nations) who hears about me and then dies without believing in the Message with which I have been sent (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism), but he will be from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire." (Sahih Muslim, the Book of Faith, Vol. 1, Chapter No.240). See also (V.3:85) and (V.3:116).

23. 23

    وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

    Wallaahu a'lamu bimaa yoo'oon

    And Allâh knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),

    فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

    Fabashshirhum bi'azaabin aleem

    So announce to them a painful torment.

25. 25

    إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ

    Illal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati lahum ajrun ghairu mamnoon

    Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
