(24:49) But if the right is theirs, they come to him in prompt obedience. (24:50) Is there disease in their hearts? Or have they doubted? Or do they fear that Allah will be unjust to them, or His Messenger? Rather, it is they who are the wrongdoers. (24:51) The only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we obey." And those are the successful. (24:52) And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and fears Allah and is conscious of Him - it is those who are the attainers. (24:53) And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths that if you ordered them, they would go forth [in Allah `s cause]. Say, "Do not swear. [Such] obedience is known. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with that which you do." (24:54) Say, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification." (24:55) Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.
