Explanatory translation

37This Quran is a warning for people who choose either to go forward on the paths of good by worship and good deeds, or to stay behind because of shirk and denial and choose Hell. Whoever wishes believes in Allah wholeheartedly and does deeds for his own good. And whoever wishes turns away from faith and obedience and does deeds to his own harm.
