64:3  God has not created the heavens and the earth on vain. Your Lord has created you of the best quality. Know that one day you will return to Him

64:6  They were punished in this world and will be punished in Hereafter for the reason that they did not listen to the messenger that God (out of His mercy) sent to them. They were to proud to listen to a man like themselves and their false pride led them to disbelief. God indeed did not “need” their belief. God is the wealthiest (as everything belongs to Him) and He is the only one worthy of worship
64:7  The disbelievers believe that they will not be resurrected. By Lord they will be resurrected and held accountable for what they have done; this is not difficult for God at all

The one who believed in God and his overall good deeds (during his worldly life) exceeds his wrongdoings, I (God) will cover his sins and make him enter in the gardens that rivers flows in it. He will stay there forever; this is indeed the greatest accomplishment

64:11  Know that any hardship that you go through, is permitted by God [directed to some ultimate goal not understood at the moment of affliction]. The One who trust in God, will be directed to the right path. Have confidence that your Lord knows everything that you are going through
64:12  Therefore, follow God and the prophet. If [under the pressure of hardship] you choose the disobedience, know that the only mission of my prophet is to relay my words to you in plain language
64:13  God is the One beside Whom there is no divine power. In God the believers trust
64:14  The believers should realize that their wives and children (who invite them to deviate from the right path for their sake) are their enemies. Beware of them (and do not ruin your eternal life for their sake) but do not treat them harshly. May God, out of his mercy, forgive them and guide them to join you in the right path. Surely God is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful

64:17  The one who devotes a part of his wealth to charity, has indeed advanced a loan to his Lord. God is going to return this loan many folded and forgive his wrong doings. God is the Most Appreciative and the Most Patient
64:18  God knows everything; whether it is open or secret. God is Almighty, the Most Wise
