The answer of the believers when they are called to God and His Apostle that he may judge between them, is: "We hear and obey." And they are the ones who will prosper. 51 those who obey God and His Messenger, and fear God, and are mindful of their duty to Him, are the ones who will triumph. 52 ۞ And they swear by Allah with their solemn oaths that, if thou commandest them they will surely go forth. Say thou: swear not, obedience is recognized! verily Allah is Aware of that which ye work. 53 Say: "Obey God and obey the Apostle. If you turn away, then for him is his duty to fulfil, and for you the burden that you carry; yet if you obey him you will be rightly guided. The duty of the Messenger is to convey the message clearly. 54 Allah hath promised those of you who believe and work the righteous works that He shall make them successors on the earth even as He had made those before them successors, and that He shall surely establish for them their religion which He hath approved for them, and that He shall surely exchange unto them after their fear a security; provided they worship Me, associating not aught with Me; and whosoever will disbelieve thereafter, then those! they are the transgressors. 55 And establish prayer and give zakah and obey the Messenger - that you may receive mercy. 56 Deem not those who disbelieve able to frustrate His purpose on the earth; and their abode shall be the Fire - an ill retreat! 57
