Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

and that toward Him you will be mustered.
25 And beware of a punishment
which shall not visit the wrongdoers among you
exclusively,
and know that Allah is severe in retribution.
26 Remember when you were few,
abased in the land,
and feared lest the people should despoil you,
and He gave you refuge,
and strengthened you with His help,
and provided you with all the good things
so that you may give thanks.
27 O you who have faith!
Do not betray Allah and the Apostle,
and do not betray your trusts knowingly.
28 Know that your possessions and children are only
a test,
and that Allah — with Him is a great reward.
29 O you who have faith!
If you are wary of Allah,
He shall appoint a criterion 1 for you,
and absolve you of your misdeeds,
and forgive you,
for Allah is dispenser of a great grace.

30 When the faithless plotted against you
to take you captive, or to kill or expel you.
They plotted and Allah devised,

1 That is, a knowledge which will enable you to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
