Those who disbelieve and turn (men) from the way of Allah, He rendereth their actions vain

And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state

That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind

Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain

He will guide them and improve their state

And bring them in unto the Garden which He hath made known to them

O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm

And those who disbelieve, perdition is for them, and He will make their actions vain

That is because they are averse to that which Allah hath revealed, therefor maketh He their actions fruitless

Have they not travelled in the land to see the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? Allah wiped them out. And for the disbelievers there will be the like thereof

That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron
