Explanatory translation
3In this world Allah embraces everyone with His mercy; in the Hereafter, only the believers. His infinite mercy and kindness encompass all beings in this world, without distinguishing between believer and disbeliever. He is the Rahman, who in this world has pity on everything and everyone and watches over them. He is the One who in eternity past willed good and mercy for all created beings and who shows compassion to all beings. In the Hereafter He will forgive His believing and upright servants and bring them into His infinite mercy. He is the Rahim, who sent this Book to complete His mercy and who gives to the fortunate ones who walk in its light the good news of endless happiness and salvation in the life of the Hereafter. Allah, the Rahman, is the One who equips His creatures with blessings; and the Rahim is the One who encompasses them with His compassion.
