Notes

[1] (V.47:1) It is obligatory to have Belief in the Messengership of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "By Him (Allâh) in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, there is none from amongst the Jews and the Christians (of these present nations) who hears about me and then dies without believing in the Message with which I have been sent (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism), but he will be from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire." (Sahih Muslim , the Book of Faith, Vol.1, Chapter No.240). See also (V.3:85) and (V.3:116).

Those who disbelieve and turn (men) from the way of Allah, He rendereth their actions vain.

Those who reject Allah and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah,- their deeds will Allah render astray (from their mark).

(As for) those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way, He shall render their works ineffective.

The ones who have disbelieved and barred from the way of Allah, (He) will make their deeds to err away.
