Ash-Shura (Council, Consultation) (42) - Roukh 4

Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because on the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness. {30} Nor can ye frustrate (aught), (fleeing) through the earth; nor have ye, besides Allah, any one to protect or to help. {31} And among His Signs are the ships, smooth-running through the ocean, (tall) as mountains. {32} If it be His Will He can still the Wind: then would they become motionless on the back of the (ocean). Verily in this are Signs for everyone who patiently perseveres and is grateful. {33} Or He can cause them to perish because of the (evil) which (the men) have earned; but much doth He forgive. {34} But let those know, who dispute about Our Signs, that there is for them no way of escape. {35} Whatever ye are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this life: but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting: (it is) for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord: {36} Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then forgive; {37} Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer; who (conduct) their affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for Sustenance; {38} And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) help and defend themselves. {39} The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong. {40} But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame. {41} The blame is only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous. {42} But indeed if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs. {43}
