3179 God was not to leave the believers as they were without distinguishing the rotten from the good. And God was not to let you know the future, but God chooses from His messengers whom He wishes; so believe in God and His messengers. And if you believe and are righteous, then you will have a great reward.
Muhammad Asad
3179 It is not God's will to abandon the believers to your way of life to that end He will set apart the bad from the good. And it is not God's will to give you insight into that which is beyond the reach of human perception but God elects whomsoever He wills from among His apostles.Believe, then, in God and His apostles; for if you believe and are conscious of Him, a magnificent requital awaits you.
Shabbir Ahmed
3179 God will not leave the believers as you are, until He distinguishes what is evil from what is good. But God will not let you know the secrets of the Unseen. God chooses His messengers to receive knowledge of the Unseen as He wills. So, believe in God and His messengers. If you believe and do right, yours will be a great reward.
