2 Preface وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ وَآمَنوا بِما نُزِّلَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّهِم ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنهُم سَيِّئَاتِهِم وَأَصلَحَ بالَهُمYusuf AliBut those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and believe in the (Revelation) sent down to Muḥammad - for it is the Truth from their Lord,- He will remove from them their ills and improve their condition.1Bal means state or condition, whether external, or of the heart and mind. Both meanings apply here. The more the wicked rage, the better will be the position of the righteous, and God will make it easier and easier for the righteous to love and follow the Truth.
