DAY 556: Nisa 116-126

•  Surely Allah does not forgive associating ˹others˺ with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. Indeed, whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah has clearly gone far astray. Instead of Allah, they only invoke female gods and they ˹actually˺ invoke none but a rebellious Satan— cursed by Allah—who said, “I will surely take hold of a certain number of Your servants. I will certainly mislead them and delude them with empty hopes. Also, I will order them and they will slit the ears of cattle and alter Allah’s creation.” And whoever takes Satan as a guardian instead of Allah has certainly suffered a tremendous loss. Satan only makes them ˹false˺ promises and deludes them with ˹empty˺ hopes. Truly Satan promises them nothing but delusion. It is they who will have Hell as their home, and they will find no escape from it! And those who believe and do good, We will soon admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. Allah’s promise is ˹always˺ true. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s? ˹Divine grace is˺ neither by your wishes nor those of the People of the Book! Whoever commits evil will be rewarded accordingly, and they will find no protector or helper besides Allah. But those who do good—whether male or female—and have faith will enter Paradise and will never be wronged ˹even as much as˺ the speck on a date stone. And who is better in faith than those who ˹fully˺ submit themselves to Allah, do good, and follow the Way of Abraham, the upright? Allah chose Abraham as a close friend. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is Fully Aware of everything.

  Verses 1–115 laid down the complete system for family, society, marriage, justice, hypocrisy, warfare, emigration, and the rules of engagement. Verses 116–126 bring it all back to the spiritual foundation: shirk is the only unforgivable sin; Satan's path leads to Hell; Paradise is for those who combine faith with action; men and women are equal in reward; and God is the sovereign owner of everything. This is the ultimate reminder that all the rules, laws, and battles are meaningless without a pure, uncompromising commitment to the oneness of God.
  
  116    God does not forgive shirk (associating partners with Him); He forgives everything else    Guard your tawheed—shirk is the ultimate corruption
  117    Pagans worship idols and Satan—empty falsehood    Idols have no power—they're tools of Satan
  118    Satan vows to mislead a specific portion of humanity    Satan is targeting you—stay vigilant
  119    Satan misleads, arouses desires, commands superstition, and corrupts creation    Recognize Satan's playbook and avoid his traps
  120    Satan's promises are empty—only delusion    Don't chase the mirage—Satan is a liar
  121    Satan's followers end in Hell—no escape    The end of that path is destruction
  122    Believers who do good enter Paradise—God's promise is true    Paradise is real and certain for those who earn it
  123    Paradise isn't earned by wishful thinking—deeds matter    You can't just hope—you have to act
  124    Male and female believers are equal in reward    Gender doesn't affect your reward—faith and deeds do
  125    The best religion is submission to God, doing good, and following Abraham    Follow the pure, uncorrupted path of Abraham
  126    Everything belongs to God—He is in control of all    God owns everything—trust Him, not worldly power
  
  Shirk is the only unforgivable sin—everything else is forgivable if you repent and correct your actions; Satan's promises are empty and his followers will face Hell, while believers who do good will enter Paradise; salvation is not by wishful thinking but by faith and action; and God's sovereignty covers everything, so trust in Him and follow the path of Abraham.
