4. Sura an-Nisa

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللّهِ...   

4: 13.  Those are limits set by Allah:

... وَمَن يُطِعِ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا...  

those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever)

... وَذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ﴿١٣﴾

and that will be the Supreme achievement.

C522a. Cf. 44:57, n. 4733. (R).

وَمَن يَعْصِ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا...   

4: 14.  But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will be admitted to a fire,

... خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَلَهُ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ ﴿١٤﴾

to abide therein: and they shall have a humiliating punishment.
