This document is a passage from the Quran discussing humanity's free will and responsibility for their actions. It notes that while humans face hardship in life, they also have free choice between good and evil paths. It warns that those who do not believe and are unmerciful will face punishment, while those who believe and encourage patience and mercy will be rewarded.
