10. Surah Yunus

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاء اللّهِ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾

10: 62.  Behold!

verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve;

C1451. Allah's all-embracing knowledge and constant watchful care over all His creatures, may be a source of fear to sinners, but there is no fear for those whom He honours with His love and friendship,-neither in this world nor in the world to come.

الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾

10: 63.  Those who believe and (constantly) guard against evil --

لَهُمُ الْبُشْرَى فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ...   

10: 64.  For them are Glad Tidings, in the life of the Present and in the Hereafter:

...لاَ تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِمَاتِ اللّهِ...

no change can there be in the Words of Allah.

...ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ﴿٦٤﴾

This is indeed the supreme Felicity.
