The Holy Quran 5:54 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِى ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُۥٓ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ يُجَـٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَآئِمٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Whoever among you turns away from his religion (forsakes Islaam), then (Allaah has no need for such people because) Allaah can soon bring (create) another nation whom He loves and who love Him; who will be kind towards the Mu'mineen, stern towards the Kuffaar and who will strive in Allaah's way (to uplift Islaam) without fearing the criticism (condemnation, abuse) of those who criticise (unlike the Munaafiqeen who feared the criticism of the Kuffaar). This (the qualities of the people described above) is the grace (favour) of Allaah that He grants to whoever He desires. Allaah (the grace of Allaah) is All Surrounding, (Allaah is) All Knowing.
