As for the Sabbath, it was imposed on those who had differed about it; and your Lord will tell them on the Day of Resurrection what it was they had differed about.

OdAAu ila sabeeli rabbika bialhikmati waalmawAAithati alhasanati wajadilhum biallatee hiya ahsanu inna rabbaka huwa aAAlamu biman dalla AAan sabeelihi wahuwa aAAlamu bialmuhtadeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Call them to the path of your Lord with wisdom and words of good advice; and reason with them in the best way possible. Your Lord surely knows who strays from His path, and He knows those who are guided the right way.

125

وَاِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوْا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوْقِبْتُمْ بِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَلَىِٕنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَہُوَخَيْرٌ لِّلصّٰبِرِيْنَ۝۱۲۶

If you have to retaliate, do so to the extent you have been injured; but if you forbear it is best for those who bear with fortitude.

126

Waisbir wama sabruka illa biAllahi wala tahzan AAalayhim wala taku fee dayqin mimma yamkuroona

Endure with patience, for your endurance is not without the help of God. Do not grieve for them, and do not be distressed by their plots.
