And do not take your oaths as a means of deceiving one another or your feet will slip after they have been firm. Then you will taste the evil ˹consequences˺ of hindering ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah, and you will suffer a tremendous punishment.

16:95

ﱕAnd (do) notﱖexchangeﱗthe covenantﱘ(of) Allahﱙ(for) a priceﱚﱛlittleﱜIndeed, whatﱝ(is) withﱞAllahﱟitﱠ(is) betterﱡfor youﱢifﱣyou were (to)ﱤknowﱥ(95)

And do not trade Allah’s covenant for a fleeting gain. What is with Allah is certainly far better for you, if only you knew.

Whatever you have will end, but whatever Allah has is everlasting. And We will certainly reward the steadfast according to the best of their deeds.

He certainly has no authority over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord.

16:100

His authority is only over those who take him as a patron and who—under his influence—associate ˹others˺ with Allah ˹in worship˺.

When We replace a verse with another1—and Allah knows best what He reveals—they say, “You ˹Muḥammad˺ are just a fabricator.” In fact, most of them do not know.

16:102

Say, “The holy spirit1 has brought it down from your Lord with the truth to reassure the believers, and as a guide and good news for those who submit ˹to Allah˺.”
