Those who
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ
in the unseen
وَيُقِيمُونَ
and establish
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
the prayer

and out of what

in what

those who

سَوَآءٌ
(it) is same
عَلَيۡهِمۡ

ءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡ
whether you warn them
أَمۡ
or
لَمۡ
not
تُنذِرۡهُمۡ
you warn them
لَا
not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
they believe
٦
Indeed, those who disbelieve1 - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
2:7
خَتَمَ
Has set a seal
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
عَلَىٰ
on
قُلُوبِهِمۡ
their hearts
وَعَلَىٰ
and on
سَمۡعِهِمۡ‌ۖ
their hearing
وَعَلَىٰٓ
and on
أَبۡصَـٰرِهِمۡ
their vision
غِشَـٰوَةٌ‌ۖ
(is) a veil
وَلَهُمۡ
And for them
عَذَابٌ
(is) a punishment
عَظِيمٌ
great
٧
Allāh has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil.1 And for them is a great punishment.
2:8
وَمِنَ
And of
ٱلنَّاسِ
the people
مَن
(are some) who
يَقُولُ
say
ءَامَنَّا
We believed
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
وَبِٱلۡيَوۡمِ
and in the Day
ٱلۡأَخِرِ
[the] Last
وَمَا
but not
هُم
they
بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(are) believers (at all)
٨
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh and the Last Day," but they are not believers.
2:9
يُخَـٰدِعُونَ
They seek to deceive
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
وَمَا
and not
يَخۡدَعُونَ
they deceive
إِلَّآ
except
أَنفُسَهُمۡ
themselves
وَمَا
and not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
they realize (it)
٩
They [think to] deceive Allāh and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
2:10
فِى
In
قُلُوبِهِم
their hearts
مَّرَضٌ
(is) a disease
فَزَادَهُمُ
so has increased them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مَرَضًا‌ۖ
(in) disease
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
عَذَابٌ
(is) a punishment
أَلِيمُۢ
painful
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَكۡذِبُونَ
[they] lie
١٠
In their hearts is disease, so Allāh has increased their disease;1 and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.
2:11
وَإِذَا
And when
قِيلَ
it is said
لَهُمۡ
to them
لَا
(Do) not
تُفۡسِدُواۡ
spread corruption
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
إِنَّمَا
Only
نَحۡنُ
we
مُصۡلِحُونَ
(are) reformers
١١
And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers."
2:12
أَلَآ
Beware
إِنَّهُمۡ
indeed they
هُمُ
themselves
ٱلۡمُفۡسِدُونَ
(are) the ones who spread corruption
وَلَـٰكِن
[and] but
لَّا
not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
they realize (it)
١٢
Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.
2:13
وَإِذَا
And when
قِيلَ
it is said
لَهُمۡ
to them
ءَامِنُواۡ
Believe
كَمَآ
as
ءَامَنَ
believed
ٱلنَّاسُ
the people
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
أَنُؤۡمِنُ
Should we believe
كَمَآ
as
ءَامَنَ
believed
ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ‌ۗ
the fools
أَلَآ
Beware
إِنَّهُمۡ
certainly they
هُمُ
themselves
ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ
(are) the fools
وَلَـٰكِن
[and] but
لَّا
not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
they know
١٣
And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not.
2:14
وَإِذَا
And when
لَقُواۡ
they meet
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
ءَامَنَّا
We believe[d]
وَإِذَا
But when
خَلَوۡاۡ
they are alone
إِلَىٰ
with
شَيَـٰطِينِهِمۡ
their evil ones
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
مَعَكُمۡ
(are) with you
إِنَّمَا
only
نَحۡنُ
we
مُسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
(are) mockers
١٤
And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers."
2:15
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
يَسۡتَهۡزِئُ
mocks
بِهِمۡ
at them
وَيَمُدُّهُمۡ
and prolongs them
فِى
in
طُغۡيَـٰنِهِمۡ
their transgression
يَعۡمَهُونَ
they wander blindly
١٥
[But] Allāh mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly.
2:16
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
ٱلَّذِينَ
(are) the ones who
ٱشۡتَرَوُاۡ
bought
ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةَ
[the] astraying
بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ
for [the] guidance
فَمَا
So not
رَبِحَت
profited
تِّجَـٰرَتُهُمۡ
their commerce
وَمَا
and not
كَانُواۡ
were they
مُهۡتَدِينَ
guided-ones
١٦
Those are the ones who have purchased error [in exchange] for guidance, so their transaction has brought no profit, nor were they guided.
2:17
مَثَلُهُمۡ
Their example
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like (the) example
ٱلَّذِى
(of) the one who
ٱسۡتَوۡقَدَ
kindled
نَارًا
a fire
فَلَمَّآ
then, when
أَضَآءَتۡ
it illuminated
مَا
what
حَوۡلَهُۥ
(was) around him
ذَهَبَ
took away
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بِنُورِهِمۡ
their light
وَتَرَكَهُمۡ
and left them
فِى
in
ظُلُمَـٰتٍ
darkness[es]
لَّا
(so) not
يُبۡصِرُونَ
(do) they see
١٧
Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it illuminated what was around him, Allāh took away their light and left them in darkness [so] they could not see.
2:18
صُمُّۢ
Deaf
بُكۡمٌ
dumb
عُمۡىٌ
blind
فَهُمۡ
so they
لَا
not
يَرۡجِعُونَ
[they] will not return
١٨
Deaf, dumb and blind - so they will not return [to the right path].
2:19
أَوۡ
Or
كَصَيِّبٍ
like a rainstorm
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
فِيهِ
in it (are)
ظُلُمَـٰتٌ
darkness[es]
وَرَعۡدٌ
and thunder
وَبَرۡقٌ
and lightning
يَجۡعَلُونَ
They put
أَصَـٰبِعَهُمۡ
their fingers
فِىٓ
in
ءَاذَانِهِم
their ears
مِّنَ
from
ٱلصَّوٰعِقِ
the thunderclaps
حَذَرَ
(in) fear (of)
ٱلۡمَوۡتِ‌ۚ
[the] death
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
مُحِيطُۢ
(is) [the One Who] encompasses
بِٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
the disbelievers
١٩
Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allāh is encompassing1 of the disbelievers.
2:20
يَكَادُ
Almost
ٱلۡبَرۡقُ
the lightning
يَخۡطَفُ
snatches away
أَبۡصَـٰرَهُمۡ‌ۖ
their sight
كُلَّمَآ
Whenever
أَضَآءَ
it flashes
لَهُم
for them
مَّشَوۡاۡ
they walk
فِيهِ
in it
وَإِذَآ
and when
أَظۡلَمَ
it darkens
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
on them
قَامُواۡ‌ۚ
they stand (still)
وَلَوۡ
And if
شَآءَ
had willed
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَذَهَبَ
He would certainly have taken away
بِسَمۡعِهِمۡ
their hearing
وَأَبۡصَـٰرِهِمۡ‌ۚ
and their sight
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَلَىٰ
(is) on
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
قَدِيرٌ
All-Powerful
٢٠
The lightning almost snatches away their sight. Every time it lights [the way] for them, they walk therein; but when darkness comes over them, they stand [still]. And if Allāh had willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
2:21
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O
ٱلنَّاسُ
mankind
ٱعۡبُدُواۡ
worship
رَبَّكُمُ
your Lord
ٱلَّذِى
the One Who
خَلَقَكُمۡ
created you
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those
مِن
from
قَبۡلِكُمۡ
before you
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَتَّقُونَ
become righteous
٢١
O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous -
2:22
ٱلَّذِى
The One Who
جَعَلَ
made
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
فِرٰشًا
a resting place
وَٱلسَّمَآءَ
and the sky
بِنَآءً
a canopy
وَأَنزَلَ
and sent down
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءً
water
فَأَخۡرَجَ
then brought forth
بِهِۦ
therewith
مِنَ
[of]
ٱلثَّمَرٰتِ
the fruits
رِزۡقًا
(as) provision
لَّكُمۡ‌ۖ
for you
فَلَا
So (do) not
تَجۡعَلُواۡ
set up
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
أَندَادًا
rivals
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تَعۡلَمُونَ
[you] know
٢٢
[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allāh equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him].
2:23
وَإِن
And if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
فِى
in
رَيۡبٍ
doubt
مِّمَّا
about what
نَزَّلۡنَا
We have revealed
عَلَىٰ
to
عَبۡدِنَا
Our slave
فَأۡتُواۡ
then produce
بِسُورَةٍ
a chapter
مِّن
[of]
مِّثۡلِهِۦ
like it
وَٱدۡعُواۡ
and call
شُهَدَآءَكُم
your witnesses
مِّن
from
دُونِ
other than
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
صَـٰدِقِينَ
truthful
٢٣
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down [i.e., the Qur’ān] upon Our Servant [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], then produce a sūrah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses [i.e., supporters] other than Allāh, if you should be truthful.
2:24
فَإِن
But if
لَّمۡ
not
تَفۡعَلُواۡ
you do
وَلَن
and never
تَفۡعَلُواۡ
will you do
فَٱتَّقُواۡ
then fear
ٱلنَّارَ
the Fire
ٱلَّتِى
whose
وَقُودُهَا
[its] fuel
ٱلنَّاسُ
(is) [the] men
وَٱلۡحِجَارَةُ‌ۖ
and [the] stones
أُعِدَّتۡ
prepared
لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
for the disbelievers
٢٤
But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
2:25
وَبَشِّرِ
And give good news
ٱلَّذِينَ
(to) those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
وَعَمِلُواۡ
and do
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
[the] righteous deeds
أَنَّ
that
لَهُمۡ
for them
جَنَّـٰتٍ
(will be) Gardens
تَجۡرِى
flow
مِن
[from]
تَحۡتِهَا
under them
ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ‌ۖ
the rivers
كُلَّمَا
Every time
رُزِقُواۡ
they are provided
مِنۡهَا
therefrom
مِن
of
ثَمَرَةٍ
fruit
رِّزۡقًا‌ۙ
(as) provision
قَالُواۡ
they (will) say
هَـٰذَا
This (is)
ٱلَّذِى
the one which
رُزِقۡنَا
we were provided
مِن
from
قَبۡلُ‌ۖ
before
وَأُتُواۡ
And they will be given
بِهِۦ
therefrom
مُتَشَـٰبِهًا‌ۖ
(things) in resemblance
وَلَهُمۡ
And for them
فِيهَآ
therein
أَزۡوٰجٌ
spouses
مُّطَهَّرَةٌ‌ۖ
purified
وَهُمۡ
and they
فِيهَا
therein
خَـٰلِدُونَ
(will) abide forever
٢٥
And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.
2:26
۞إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(is) not
يَسۡتَحۡىِۦٓ
ashamed
أَن
to
يَضۡرِبَ
set forth
مَثَلاً
an example
مَّا
(like) even
بَعُوضَةً
(of) a mosquito
فَمَا
and (even) something
فَوۡقَهَا‌ۚ
above it
فَأَمَّا
Then as for
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
فَيَعۡلَمُونَ
[thus] they will know
أَنَّهُ
that it
ٱلۡحَقُّ
(is) the truth
مِن
from
رَّبِّهِمۡ‌ۖ
their Lord
وَأَمَّا
And as for
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
فَيَقُولُونَ
[thus] they will say
مَاذَآ
what
أَرَادَ
(did) intend
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بِهَـٰذَا
by this
مَثَلاً‌ۘ
example
يُضِلُّ
He lets go astray
بِهِۦ
by it
كَثِيرًا
many
وَيَهۡدِى
and He guides
بِهِۦ
by it
كَثِيرًا‌ۚ
many
وَمَا
And not
يُضِلُّ
He lets go astray
بِهِۦٓ
by it
إِلَّا
except
ٱلۡفَـٰسِقِينَ
the defiantly disobedient
٢٦
Indeed, Allāh is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller1 than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allāh intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,
2:27
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يَنقُضُونَ
break
عَهۡدَ
(the) Covenant
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
مِيثَـٰقِهِۦ
its ratification
وَيَقۡطَعُونَ
and [they] cut
مَآ
what
أَمَرَ
has ordered
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بِهِۦٓ
it
أَن
to
يُوصَلَ
be joined
وَيُفۡسِدُونَ
and [they] spread corruption
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ
the earth
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
هُمُ
they
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ
(are) the losers
٢٧
Who break the covenant of Allāh after contracting it and sever that which Allāh has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.
2:28
كَيۡفَ
How
تَكۡفُرُونَ
(can) you disbelieve
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
وَكُنتُمۡ
While you were
أَمۡوٰتًا
dead
فَأَحۡيَـٰكُمۡ‌ۖ
then He gave you life
ثُمَّ
then
يُمِيتُكُمۡ
He will cause you to die
ثُمَّ
then
يُحۡيِيكُمۡ
He will give you life
ثُمَّ
then
إِلَيۡهِ
to Him
تُرۡجَعُونَ
you will be returned
٢٨
How can you disbelieve in Allāh when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.
2:29
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
خَلَقَ
created
لَكُم
for you
مَّا
what
فِى
(is) in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
جَمِيعًا
all
ثُمَّ
Moreover
ٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ
He turned
إِلَى
to
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the heaven
فَسَوَّٮٰهُنَّ
and fashioned them
سَبۡعَ
seven
سَمَـٰوٰتٍ‌ۚ
heavens
وَهُوَ
And He
بِكُلِّ
of every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
عَلِيمٌ
(is) All-Knowing
٢٩
It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself1 to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.
2:30
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَالَ
said
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
لِلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
to the angels
إِنِّى
Indeed, I (am)
جَاعِلٌ
going to place
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
خَلِيفَةً‌ۖ
a vicegerent
قَالُوٓاۡ
they said
أَتَجۡعَلُ
Will You place
فِيهَا
in it
مَن
(one) who
يُفۡسِدُ
will spread corruption
فِيهَا
in it
وَيَسۡفِكُ
and will shed
ٱلدِّمَآءَ
[the] blood[s]
وَنَحۡنُ
while we
نُسَبِّحُ
[we] glorify (You)
بِحَمۡدِكَ
with Your praises
وَنُقَدِّسُ
and we sanctify
لَكَ‌ۖ
[to] You
قَالَ
He said
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I
أَعۡلَمُ
[I] know
مَا
what
لَا
not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
you know
٣٠
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority."1 They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we exalt You with praise and declare Your perfection?"2 He [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."
2:31
وَعَلَّمَ
And He taught
ءَادَمَ
Adam
ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءَ
the names
كُلَّهَا
all of them
ثُمَّ
Then
عَرَضَهُمۡ
He displayed them
عَلَى
to
ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
the angels
فَقَالَ
then He said
أَنۢبِــُٔونِى
Inform Me
بِأَسۡمَآءِ
of (the) names
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
(of) these
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
صَـٰدِقِينَ
truthful
٣١
And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful."
2:32
قَالُواۡ
They said
سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ
Glory be to You
لَا
No
عِلۡمَ
knowledge
لَنَآ
(is) for us
إِلَّا
except
مَا
what
عَلَّمۡتَنَآ‌ۖ
You have taught us
إِنَّكَ
Indeed You
أَنتَ
You
ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
(are) the All-Knowing
ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
the All-Wise
٣٢
They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing,1 the Wise."2
2:33
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰٓـــَٔادَمُ
O Adam
أَنۢبِئۡهُم
Inform them
بِأَسۡمَآئِهِمۡ‌ۖ
of their names
فَلَمَّآ
And when
أَنۢبَأَهُم
he had informed them
بِأَسۡمَآئِهِمۡ
of their names
قَالَ
He said
أَلَمۡ
Did not
أَقُل
I say
لَّكُمۡ
to you
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I
أَعۡلَمُ
[I] know
غَيۡبَ
(the) unseen
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
وَأَعۡلَمُ
and I know
مَا
what
تُبۡدُونَ
you reveal
وَمَا
and what
كُنتُمۡ
you [were]
تَكۡتُمُونَ
conceal
٣٣
He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed."
2:34
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡنَا
We said
لِلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
to the angels
ٱسۡجُدُواۡ
Prostrate
لِأَدَمَ
to Adam
فَسَجَدُوٓاۡ
[so] they prostrated
إِلَّآ
except
إِبۡلِيسَ
Iblis
أَبَىٰ
He refused
وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ
and was arrogant
وَكَانَ
and became
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
the disbelievers
٣٤
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees.1 He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
2:35
وَقُلۡنَا
And We said
يَـٰٓـــَٔادَمُ
O Adam
ٱسۡكُنۡ
Dwell
أَنتَ
you
وَزَوۡجُكَ
and your spouse
ٱلۡجَنَّةَ
(in) Paradise
وَكُلَا
and [you both] eat
مِنۡهَا
from it
رَغَدًا
freely
حَيۡثُ
(from) wherever
شِئۡتُمَا
you [both] wish
وَلَا
But do not
تَقۡرَبَا
[you two] approach
هَـٰذِهِ
this
ٱلشَّجَرَةَ
[the] tree
فَتَكُونَا
lest you [both] be
مِنَ
of
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
٣٥
And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
2:36
فَأَزَلَّهُمَا
Then made [both of] them slip
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
the Shaitaan
عَنۡهَا
from it
فَأَخۡرَجَهُمَا
and he got [both of] them out
مِمَّا
from what
كَانَا
they [both] were
فِيهِ‌ۖ
in [it]
وَقُلۡنَا
And We said
ٱهۡبِطُواۡ
Go down (all of you)
بَعۡضُكُمۡ
some of you
لِبَعۡضٍ
to others
عَدُوٌّ‌ۖ
(as) enemy
وَلَكُمۡ
and for you
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
مُسۡتَقَرٌّ
(is) a dwelling place
وَمَتَـٰعٌ
and a provision
إِلَىٰ
for
حِينٍ
a period
٣٦
But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."
2:37
فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ
Then received
ءَادَمُ
Adam
مِن
from
رَّبِّهِۦ
his Lord
كَلِمَـٰتٍ
words
فَتَابَ
So (his Lord) turned
عَلَيۡهِ‌ۚ
towards him
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed He
هُوَ
He
ٱلتَّوَّابُ
(is) the Oft-returning (to mercy)
ٱلرَّحِيمُ
the Most Merciful
٣٧
Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words,1 and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of Repentance,2 the Merciful.
2:38
قُلۡنَا
We said
ٱهۡبِطُواۡ
Go down
مِنۡهَا
from it
جَمِيعًا‌ۖ
all (of you)
فَإِمَّا
and when
يَأۡتِيَنَّكُم
comes to you
مِّنِّى
from Me
هُدًى
Guidance
فَمَن
then whoever
تَبِعَ
follows
هُدَاىَ
My Guidance
فَلَا
[then] no
خَوۡفٌ
fear
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
(will be) on them
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يَحۡزَنُونَ
will grieve
٣٨
We said, "Go down from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
2:39
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those
كَفَرُواۡ
who disbelieve[d]
وَكَذَّبُواۡ
and deny
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ
Our Signs
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are the) companions
ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ
(of) the Fire
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
(will) abide forever
٣٩
And those who disbelieve and deny Our signs - those will be companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally."
2:40
يَـٰبَنِىٓ
O Children

٤٠
O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant [upon you] that I will fulfill your covenant [from Me], and be afraid of [only] Me.
2:41
وَءَامِنُواۡ
And believe
بِمَآ
in what
أَنزَلۡتُ
I have sent down
مُصَدِّقًا
confirming
لِّمَا
that which

٤١
And believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And do not exchange My signs for a small price, and fear [only] Me.
2:42
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَلۡبِسُواۡ
mix
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the Truth
بِٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ
with [the] falsehood
وَتَكۡتُمُواۡ
and conceal
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the Truth
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تَعۡلَمُونَ
[you] know
٤٢
And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].
2:43
وَأَقِيمُواۡ
And establish
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
the prayer
وَءَاتُواۡ
and give
ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ
zakah
وَٱرۡكَعُواۡ
and bow down
مَعَ
with
ٱلرّٰكِعِينَ
those who bow down
٤٣
And establish prayer and give zakāh1 and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].
2:44
۞أَتَأۡمُرُونَ
Do you order
ٱلنَّاسَ
[the] people
بِٱلۡبِرِّ
[the] righteousness
وَتَنسَوۡنَ
and you forget
أَنفُسَكُمۡ
yourselves

[you] recite
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ‌ۚ
the Book
أَفَلَا
Then, will not
تَعۡقِلُونَ
you use reason
٤٤
Do you order righteousness of the people and forget1 yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?
2:45
وَٱسۡتَعِينُواۡ
And seek help
بِٱلصَّبۡرِ
through patience
وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ‌ۚ
and the prayer
وَإِنَّهَا
and indeed, it
لَكَبِيرَةٌ
(is) surely difficult
إِلَّا
except
عَلَى
on
ٱلۡخَـٰشِعِينَ
the humble ones
٤٥
And seek help through patience and prayer; and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allāh]
2:46
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يَظُنُّونَ
believe
أَنَّهُم

Who are certain that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him.
2:47
يَـٰبَنِىٓ

٤٧
O Children of Israel, remember My favor that I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds [i.e., peoples].
2:48
وَٱتَّقُواۡ
And fear
يَوۡمًا
a day

2:49
وَإِذۡ
And when
نَجَّيۡنَـٰكُم
We saved you
مِّنۡ
from
ءَالِ
(the) people
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
يَسُومُونَكُمۡ
(who were) afflicting you (with)
سُوٓءَ
horrible
ٱلۡعَذَابِ
torment
يُذَبِّحُونَ
slaughtering
أَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ
your sons
وَيَسۡتَحۡيُونَ
and letting live
نِسَآءَكُمۡ‌ۚ
your women
وَفِى
And in
ذٰلِكُم
that
بَلَآءٌ
(was) a trial
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
عَظِيمٌ
great
٤٩
And [recall] when We saved you [i.e., your forefathers] from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with the worst torment, slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.
2:50
وَإِذۡ
And when
فَرَقۡنَا
We parted
بِكُمُ
for you
ٱلۡبَحۡرَ
the sea
فَأَنجَيۡنَـٰكُمۡ
then We saved you
وَأَغۡرَقۡنَآ
and We drowned
ءَالَ
(the) people
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تَنظُرُونَ
(were) looking
٥٠
And [recall] when We parted the sea for you and saved you and drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were looking on.
2:51
وَإِذۡ
And when
وٰعَدۡنَا
We appointed
مُوسَىٰٓ
(for) Musa
أَرۡبَعِينَ
forty
لَيۡلَةً
nights
ثُمَّ
Then
ٱتَّخَذۡتُمُ
you took
ٱلۡعِجۡلَ
the calf
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِهِۦ
after him
وَأَنتُمۡ
and you
ظَـٰلِمُونَ
(were) wrongdoers
٥١
And [recall] when We made an appointment with Moses for forty nights. Then you took [for worship] the calf after him [i.e., his departure], while you were wrongdoers.
2:52
ثُمَّ
Then
عَفَوۡنَا
We forgave
عَنكُم
you
مِّنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَشۡكُرُونَ
(be) grateful
٥٢
Then We forgave you after that so perhaps you would be grateful.
2:53
وَإِذۡ
And when
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We gave
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ
and the Criterion
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
perhaps you
تَهۡتَدُونَ
(would be) guided
٥٣
And [recall] when We gave Moses the Scripture and criterion1 that perhaps you would be guided.
2:54
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَالَ
said
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِقَوۡمِهِۦ
to his people
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
إِنَّكُمۡ
Indeed, you
ظَلَمۡتُمۡ
[you] have wronged
أَنفُسَكُم
yourselves
بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ
by your taking
ٱلۡعِجۡلَ
the calf
فَتُوبُوٓاۡ
So turn in repentance
إِلَىٰ
to
بَارِئِكُمۡ
your Creator
فَٱقۡتُلُوٓاۡ
and kill
أَنفُسَكُمۡ
yourselves
ذٰلِكُمۡ
That
خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
لَّكُمۡ
for you
عِندَ
with
بَارِئِكُمۡ
your Creator
فَتَابَ
Then He turned
عَلَيۡكُمۡ‌ۚ
towards you
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed He
هُوَ
He
ٱلتَّوَّابُ
(is) the-returning
ٱلرَّحِيمُ
the Most Merciful
٥٤
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e., the guilty among you]. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.
2:55
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡتُمۡ
you said
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
لَن
Never
نُّؤۡمِنَ
(will) we believe
لَكَ
in you
حَتَّىٰ
until
نَرَى
we see
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
جَهۡرَةً
manifestly
فَأَخَذَتۡكُمُ
So seized you
ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ
the thunderbolt
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تَنظُرُونَ
(were) looking
٥٥
And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we will never believe you until we see Allāh outright"; so the thunderbolt took you while you were looking on.
2:56
ثُمَّ
Then
بَعَثۡنَـٰكُم
We revived you
مِّنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
مَوۡتِكُمۡ
your death
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَشۡكُرُونَ
(be) grateful
٥٦
Then We revived you after your death that perhaps you would be grateful.
2:57
وَظَلَّلۡنَا
And We shaded
عَلَيۡكُمُ
[over] you
ٱلۡغَمَامَ
(with) [the] clouds
وَأَنزَلۡنَا
and We sent down
عَلَيۡكُمُ
to you
ٱلۡمَنَّ
[the] manna
وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰ‌ۖ
and [the] quails
كُلُواۡ
Eat
مِن
from
طَيِّبَـٰتِ
(the) good things
مَا
that
رَزَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ‌ۖ
We have provided you
وَمَا
And not
ظَلَمُونَا
they wronged Us
وَلَـٰكِن
but
كَانُوٓاۡ
they were
أَنفُسَهُمۡ
(to) themselves
يَظۡلِمُونَ
doing wrong
٥٧
And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not - but they were [only] wronging themselves.
2:58
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡنَا
We said
ٱدۡخُلُواۡ
Enter
هَـٰذِهِ
this
ٱلۡقَرۡيَةَ
town
فَكُلُواۡ
then eat
مِنۡهَا
from
حَيۡثُ
wherever
شِئۡتُمۡ
you wish[ed]
رَغَدًا
abundantly
وَٱدۡخُلُواۡ
and enter
ٱلۡبَابَ
the gate
سُجَّدًا
prostrating
وَقُولُواۡ
And say
حِطَّةٌ
Repentance
نَّغۡفِرۡ
We will forgive
لَكُمۡ
for you
خَطَـٰيَـٰكُمۡ‌ۚ
your sins
وَسَنَزِيدُ
And We will increase
ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
the good-doers (in reward)
٥٨
And [recall] when We said, "Enter this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly1 and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins].' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."
2:59
فَبَدَّلَ
But changed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
قَوۡلاً
(the) word
غَيۡرَ
other (than)
ٱلَّذِى
(that) which
قِيلَ
was said
لَهُمۡ
to them
فَأَنزَلۡنَا
so We sent down
عَلَى
upon
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
رِجۡزًا
a punishment
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they were
يَفۡسُقُونَ
defiantly disobeying
٥٩
But those who wronged changed [those words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them, so We sent down upon those who wronged a punishment [i.e., plague] from the sky because they were defiantly disobeying.
2:60
۞وَإِذِ
And when
ٱسۡتَسۡقَىٰ
asked (for) water
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِقَوۡمِهِۦ
for his people
فَقُلۡنَا
[so] We said
ٱضۡرِب
Strike
بِّعَصَاكَ
with your staff
ٱلۡحَجَرَ‌ۖ
the stone
فَٱنفَجَرَتۡ
Then gushed forth
مِنۡهُ
from it
ٱثۡنَتَا
(of)
عَشۡرَةَ
twelve
عَيۡنًا‌ۖ
springs
قَدۡ
Indeed
عَلِمَ
knew
كُلُّ
all
أُنَاسٍ
(the) people
مَّشۡرَبَهُمۡ‌ۖ
their drinking place
كُلُواۡ
Eat
وَٱشۡرَبُواۡ
and drink
مِن
from
رِّزۡقِ
(the) provision (of)
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَعۡثَوۡاۡ
act wickedly
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
مُفۡسِدِينَ
spreading corruption
٦٠
And [recall] when Moses prayed for water for his people, so We said, "Strike with your staff the stone." And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. "Eat and drink from the provision of Allāh, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."
2:61
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡتُمۡ
you said
يَـٰمُوسَىٰ
O Musa
لَن
Never (will)
نَّصۡبِرَ
we endure
عَلَىٰ
[on]
طَعَامٍ
food
وٰحِدٍ
(of) one (kind)
فَٱدۡعُ
so pray
لَنَا
for us
رَبَّكَ
(to) your Lord
يُخۡرِجۡ
to bring forth
لَنَا
for us
مِمَّا
out of what
تُنۢبِتُ
grows
ٱلۡأَرۡضُ
the earth
مِنۢ
of
بَقۡلِهَا
its herbs
وَقِثَّآئِهَا
[and] its cucumbers
وَفُومِهَا
[and] its garlic
وَعَدَسِهَا
[and] its lentils
وَبَصَلِهَا‌ۖ
and its onions
قَالَ
He said
أَتَسۡتَبۡدِلُونَ
Would you exchange
ٱلَّذِى
that which
هُوَ
[it]
أَدۡنَىٰ
(is) inferior
بِٱلَّذِى
for that which
هُوَ
[it]
خَيۡرٌ‌ۚ
(is) better
ٱهۡبِطُواۡ
Go down
مِصۡرًا
(to) a city
فَإِنَّ
so indeed
لَكُم
for you
مَّا
(is) what
سَأَلۡتُمۡ‌ۗ
you have asked (for)
وَضُرِبَتۡ
And were struck
عَلَيۡهِمُ
on them
ٱلذِّلَّةُ
the humiliation
وَٱلۡمَسۡكَنَةُ
and the misery
وَبَآءُو
and they drew on themselves
بِغَضَبٍ
wrath
مِّنَ
of
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
Allah
ذٰلِكَ
That (was)
بِأَنَّهُمۡ
because they
كَانُواۡ
used to
يَكۡفُرُونَ
disbelieve
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ
in (the) Signs
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
وَيَقۡتُلُونَ
and kill
ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ
the Prophets
بِغَيۡرِ
without (any)
ٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۗ
[the] right
ذٰلِكَ
That
بِمَا
(was) because
عَصَواۡ
they disobeyed
وَّكَانُواۡ
and they were
يَعۡتَدُونَ
transgressing
٦١
And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allāh [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.

on them
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يَحۡزَنُونَ
will grieve
٦٢
Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve1.
2:63
وَإِذۡ
And when
أَخَذۡنَا
We took
مِيثَـٰقَكُمۡ
your covenant
وَرَفَعۡنَا
and We raised
فَوۡقَكُمُ
over you
ٱلطُّورَ
the mount
خُذُواۡ
Hold
مَآ
what
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰكُم
We have given you
بِقُوَّةٍ
with strength
وَٱذۡكُرُواۡ
and remember
مَا
what
فِيهِ
(is) in it
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
perhaps you
تَتَّقُونَ
(would become) righteous
٦٣
And [recall] when We took your covenant, [O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah] and We raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."
2:64
ثُمَّ
Then
تَوَلَّيۡتُم
you turned away
مِّنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
ذٰلِكَ‌ۖ
that
فَلَوۡلَا
So if not
فَضۡلُ
(for the) Grace
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
upon you
وَرَحۡمَتُهُۥ
and His Mercy
لَكُنتُم
surely you would have been
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِينَ
the losers
٦٤
Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers.
2:65
وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
عَلِمۡتُمُ
you knew
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ٱعۡتَدَوۡاۡ
transgressed
مِنكُمۡ
among you
فِى
in
ٱلسَّبۡتِ
the (matter of) Sabbath
فَقُلۡنَا
So We said
لَهُمۡ
to them
كُونُواۡ
Be
قِرَدَةً
apes
خَـٰسِــِٔينَ
despised
٦٥
And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
2:66
فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهَا
So We made it
نَكَـٰلاً
a deterrent punishment
لِّمَا
for those
بَيۡنَ
(in) front
يَدَيۡهَا
(of) them
وَمَا
and those
خَلۡفَهَا
after them
وَمَوۡعِظَةً
and an admonition
لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ
for those who fear (Allah)
٦٦
And We made it a deterrent punishment for those who were present and those who succeeded [them] and a lesson for those who fear Allāh.
2:67
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَالَ
said
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ
to his people
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يَأۡمُرُكُمۡ
commands you
أَن
that
تَذۡبَحُواۡ
you slaughter
بَقَرَةً‌ۖ
a cow
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
أَتَتَّخِذُنَا
Do you take us
هُزُوًا‌ۖ
(in) ridicule
قَالَ
He said
أَعُوذُ
I seek refuge
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
أَنۡ
that
أَكُونَ
I be
مِنَ
among
ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِينَ
the ignorant
٦٧
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Indeed, Allāh commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allāh from being among the ignorant."
2:68
قَالُواۡ
They said
ٱدۡعُ
Pray
لَنَا
for us
رَبَّكَ
(to) your Lord
يُبَيِّن
to make clear
لَّنَا
to us
مَا
what
هِىَ‌ۚ
it (is)
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
يَقُولُ
says
إِنَّهَا
[Indeed] it
بَقَرَةٌ
(is) a cow
لَّا
not
فَارِضٌ
old
وَلَا
and not
بِكۡرٌ
young
عَوَانُۢ
middle aged
بَيۡنَ
between
ذٰلِكَ‌ۖ
that
فَٱفۡعَلُواۡ
so do
مَا
what
تُؤۡمَرُونَ
you are commanded
٦٨
They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is." [Moses] said, "[Allāh] says, 'It is a cow which is neither old nor virgin, but median between that,' so do what you are commanded."
2:69
قَالُواۡ
They said
ٱدۡعُ
Pray
لَنَا
for us
رَبَّكَ
(to) your Lord
يُبَيِّن
to make clear
لَّنَا
to us
مَا
what
لَوۡنُهَا‌ۚ
(is) its color
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
يَقُولُ
says
إِنَّهَا
'[Indeed] it is
بَقَرَةٌ
a cow
صَفۡرَآءُ
yellow
فَاقِعٌ
bright
لَّوۡنُهَا
(in) its color
تَسُرُّ
pleasing
ٱلنَّـٰظِرِينَ
(to) those who see (it).'
٦٩
They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us what is her color." He said, "He says, 'It is a yellow cow, bright in color - pleasing to the observers.'"
2:70
قَالُواۡ
They said
ٱدۡعُ
Pray
لَنَا
for us
رَبَّكَ
(to) your Lord
يُبَيِّن
to make clear
لَّنَا
to us
مَا
what
هِىَ
it (is)
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلۡبَقَرَ
[the] cows
تَشَـٰبَهَ
look alike
عَلَيۡنَا
to us
وَإِنَّآ
And indeed we
إِن
if
شَآءَ
wills
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَمُهۡتَدُونَ
(will) surely be those who are guided
٧٠
They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is. Indeed, [all] cows look alike to us. And indeed we, if Allāh wills, will be guided."
2:71
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
يَقُولُ
says
إِنَّهَا
[Indeed] it
بَقَرَةٌ
(is) a cow
لَّا
not
ذَلُولٌ
trained
تُثِيرُ
to plough
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth
وَلَا
and not
تَسۡقِى
water
ٱلۡحَرۡثَ
the field
مُسَلَّمَةٌ
sound
لَّا
no
شِيَةَ
blemish
فِيهَا‌ۚ
in it
قَالُواۡ
They said
ٱلۡـَٔـٰنَ
Now
جِئۡتَ
you have come
بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ
with the truth
فَذَبَحُوهَا
So they slaughtered it
وَمَا
and not
كَادُواۡ
they were near
يَفۡعَلُونَ
(to) doing (it)
٧١
He said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither trained to plow the earth nor to irrigate the field, one free from fault with no spot upon her.'" They said, "Now you have come with the truth." So they slaughtered her, but they could hardly do it.
2:72
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَتَلۡتُمۡ
you killed
نَفۡسًا
a man
فَٱدّٰرٰٔۡتُمۡ
then you disputed
فِيهَا‌ۖ
concerning it
وَٱللَّهُ
but Allah
مُخۡرِجٌ
(is) the One Who brought forth
مَّا
what
كُنتُمۡ
you were
تَكۡتُمُونَ
concealing
٧٢
And [recall] when you slew a man and disputed1 over it, but Allāh was to bring out that which you were concealing.
2:73
فَقُلۡنَا
So We said
ٱضۡرِبُوهُ
Strike him
بِبَعۡضِهَا‌ۚ
with a part of it
كَذٰلِكَ
Like this
يُحۡىِ
revives
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ
the dead
وَيُرِيكُمۡ
and shows you
ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ
His Signs
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
perhaps you may
تَعۡقِلُونَ
use your intellect
٧٣
So We said, "Strike him [i.e., the slain man] with part of it."1 Thus does Allāh bring the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you might reason.
2:74
ثُمَّ
Then
قَسَتۡ
hardened
قُلُوبُكُم
your hearts
مِّنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
ذٰلِكَ
that
فَهِىَ
so they
كَٱلۡحِجَارَةِ
(became) like [the] stones
أَوۡ
or
أَشَدُّ
stronger
قَسۡوَةً‌ۚ
(in) hardness
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡحِجَارَةِ
the stones
لَمَا
certainly (there are some) which
يَتَفَجَّرُ
gush forth
مِنۡهُ
from it
ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ‌ۚ
[the] rivers
وَإِنَّ
and indeed
مِنۡهَا
from them
لَمَا
certainly (there are some) which
يَشَّقَّقُ
split
فَيَخۡرُجُ
so comes out
مِنۡهُ
from it
ٱلۡمَآءُ‌ۚ
[the] water
وَإِنَّ
and indeed
مِنۡهَا
from them
لَمَا
certainly (there are some) which
يَهۡبِطُ
fall down
مِنۡ
from
خَشۡيَةِ
fear
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah
وَمَا
And not
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
بِغَـٰفِلٍ
unaware
عَمَّا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
٧٤
Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder. For indeed, there are stones from which rivers burst forth, and there are some of them that split open and water comes out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allāh. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.
2:75
۞أَفَتَطۡمَعُونَ
Do you hope
أَن
that
يُؤۡمِنُواۡ
they will believe
لَكُمۡ
[for] you
وَقَدۡ
while indeed
كَانَ
(there) has been
فَرِيقٌ
a party
مِّنۡهُمۡ
of them
يَسۡمَعُونَ
(who used to) hear
كَلَـٰمَ
(the) words
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
ثُمَّ
then
يُحَرِّفُونَهُۥ
they distort it
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
مَا
[what]
عَقَلُوهُ
they understood it
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٧٥
Do you covet [the hope, O believers], that they would believe for you while a party of them used to hear the words of Allāh and then distort it [i.e., the Torah] after they had understood it while they were knowing?
2:76
وَإِذَا
And when
لَقُواۡ
they meet
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
ءَامَنَّا
We have believed
وَإِذَا
But when
خَلَا
meet in private
بَعۡضُهُمۡ
some of them
إِلَىٰ
with
بَعۡضٍ
some (others)
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
أَتُحَدِّثُونَهُم
Do you tell them
بِمَا
what
فَتَحَ
has
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
to you
لِيُحَآجُّوكُم
so that they argue with you
بِهِۦ
therewith
عِندَ
before
رَبِّكُمۡ‌ۚ
your Lord
أَفَلَا
Then do (you) not
تَعۡقِلُونَ
understand
٧٦
And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We have believed"; but when they are alone with one another, they say, "Do you talk to them about what Allāh has revealed to you so they can argue with you about it before your Lord?" Then will you not reason?
2:77
أَوَلَا
Do not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
they know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
مَا
what
يُسِرُّونَ
they conceal
وَمَا
and what
يُعۡلِنُونَ
they declare
٧٧
But do they not know that Allāh knows what they conceal and what they declare?
2:78
وَمِنۡهُمۡ
And among them
أُمِّيُّونَ
(are) unlettered ones
لَا
(who) do not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the book
إِلَّآ
except
أَمَانِىَّ
wishful thinking
وَإِنۡ
and not
هُمۡ
they
إِلَّا
(do anything) except
يَظُنُّونَ
guess
٧٨
And among them are unlettered ones who do not know the Scripture except [indulgement in] wishful thinking, but they are only assuming.
2:79
فَوَيۡلٌ
So woe
لِّلَّذِينَ
to those who
يَكۡتُبُونَ
write
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the book
بِأَيۡدِيهِمۡ
with their (own) hands
ثُمَّ
then
يَقُولُونَ
they say
هَـٰذَا
This
مِنۡ
(is)
عِندِ
from
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
لِيَشۡتَرُواۡ
to barter
بِهِۦ
with it
ثَمَنًا
(for) a price
قَلِيلاً‌ۖ
little
فَوَيۡلٌ
So woe
لَّهُم
to them
مِّمَّا
for what
كَتَبَتۡ
have written
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
their hands
وَوَيۡلٌ
and woe
لَّهُم
to them
مِّمَّا
for what
يَكۡسِبُونَ
they earn
٧٩
So woe1 to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allāh," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.
2:80
وَقَالُواۡ
And they say
لَن
Never
تَمَسَّنَا
will touch us
ٱلنَّارُ
the Fire
إِلَّآ
except
أَيَّامًا
(for) days
مَّعۡدُودَةً‌ۚ
numbered
قُلۡ
Say
أَتَّخَذۡتُمۡ
Have you taken
عِندَ
from
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
عَهۡدًا
a covenant
فَلَن
so never
يُخۡلِفَ
will break
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
عَهۡدَهُۥٓ‌ۖ
His Covenant
أَمۡ
Or
تَقُولُونَ
(do) you say
عَلَى
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مَا
what
لَا
not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
you know
٨٠
And they say, "Never will the Fire touch us, except for [a few] numbered days." Say, "Have you taken a covenant with Allāh? For Allāh will never break His covenant. Or do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?"
2:81
بَلَىٰ
Yes
مَن
whoever
كَسَبَ
earned
سَيِّئَةً
evil
وَأَحَـٰطَتۡ
and surrounded him
بِهِۦ
with
خَطِيٓــَٔتُهُۥ
his sins
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
[so] those
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are the) companions
ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ
(of) the Fire
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
(will) abide forever
٨١
Yes, [on the contrary], whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
2:82
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
وَعَمِلُواۡ
and did
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
righteous deeds
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are the) companions
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ‌ۖ
(of) Paradise
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
(will) abide forever
٨٢
But they who believe and do righteous deeds - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.
2:83
وَإِذۡ
And when
أَخَذۡنَا
We took
مِيثَـٰقَ
(the) covenant
بَنِىٓ
(from the) Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
لَا
Not
تَعۡبُدُونَ
you will worship
إِلَّا
except
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَبِٱلۡوٰلِدَيۡنِ
and with [the] parents
إِحۡسَانًا
(be) good
وَذِى
and (with)
ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ
relatives
وَٱلۡيَتَـٰمَىٰ
and [the] orphans
وَٱلۡمَسَـٰكِينِ
and the needy
وَقُولُواۡ
and speak
لِلنَّاسِ
to [the] people
حُسۡنًا
good
وَأَقِيمُواۡ
and establish
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
the prayer
وَءَاتُواۡ
and give
ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ
the zakah
ثُمَّ
Then
تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ
you turned away
إِلَّا
except
قَلِيلاً
a few
مِّنكُمۡ
of you
وَأَنتُم
and you (were)
مُّعۡرِضُونَ
refusing
٨٣
And [recall] when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except Allāh; and to parents do good and to relatives, orphans, and the needy. And speak to people good [words] and establish prayer and give zakāh." Then you turned away, except a few of you, and you were refusing.
2:84
وَإِذۡ
And when
أَخَذۡنَا
We took
مِيثَـٰقَكُمۡ
your covenant
لَا
Not
تَسۡفِكُونَ
will you shed
دِمَآءَكُمۡ
your blood
وَلَا
and not
تُخۡرِجُونَ
(will) evict
أَنفُسَكُم
yourselves
مِّن
from
دِيَـٰرِكُمۡ
your homes
ثُمَّ
then
أَقۡرَرۡتُمۡ
you ratified
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تَشۡهَدُونَ
(were) witnessing
٨٤
And [recall] when We took your covenant, [saying], "Do not shed your [i.e., each other's] blood or evict one another from your homes." Then you acknowledged [this] while you were witnessing.
2:85
ثُمَّ
Then
أَنتُمۡ
you
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
(are) those
تَقۡتُلُونَ
(who) kill
أَنفُسَكُمۡ
yourselves
وَتُخۡرِجُونَ
and evict
فَرِيقًا
a party
مِّنكُم
of you
مِّن
from
دِيَـٰرِهِمۡ
their homes
تَظَـٰهَرُونَ
you support one another
عَلَيۡهِم
against them
بِٱلۡإِثۡمِ
in sin
وَٱلۡعُدۡوٰنِ
and [the] transgression
وَإِن
And if
يَأۡتُوكُمۡ
they come to you
أُسَـٰرَىٰ
(as) captives
تُفَـٰدُوهُمۡ
you ransom them
وَهُوَ
while it
مُحَرَّمٌ
(was) forbidden
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
to you
إِخۡرَاجُهُمۡ‌ۚ
their eviction
أَفَتُؤۡمِنُونَ
So do you believe
بِبَعۡضِ
in part (of)
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
the Book
وَتَكۡفُرُونَ
and disbelieve
بِبَعۡضٍ‌ۚ
in part
فَمَا
Then what
جَزَآءُ
(should be the) recompense
مَن
(for the one) who
يَفۡعَلُ
does
ذٰلِكَ
that
مِنكُمۡ
among you
إِلَّا
except
خِزۡىٌ
disgrace
فِى
in
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۖ
(of) the world
وَيَوۡمَ
and (on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
of [the] Resurrection
يُرَدُّونَ
they will be sent back
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أَشَدِّ
(the) most severe
ٱلۡعَذَابِ‌ۗ
punishment
وَمَا
And not
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
بِغَـٰفِلٍ
unaware
عَمَّا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
٨٥
Then, you are those [same ones who are] killing one another and evicting a party of your people from their homes, cooperating against them in sin and aggression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their eviction was forbidden to you. So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.
2:86
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
ٱلَّذِينَ
(are) the ones who
ٱشۡتَرَوُاۡ
bought
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ
the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ‌ۖ
for the Hereafter
فَلَا
so not
يُخَفَّفُ
will be lightened
عَنۡهُمُ
for them
ٱلۡعَذَابُ
the punishment
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يُنصَرُونَ
will be helped
٨٦
Those are the ones who have bought the life of this world [in exchange] for the Hereafter, so the punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be aided.
2:87
وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We gave
مُوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
وَقَفَّيۡنَا
and We followed up
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِهِۦ
after him
بِٱلرُّسُلِ‌ۖ
with [the] Messengers
وَءَاتَيۡنَا
And We gave
عِيسَى
Isa
ٱبۡنَ
(the) son
مَرۡيَمَ
(of) Maryam
ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
[the] clear signs
وَأَيَّدۡنَـٰهُ
and We supported him
بِرُوحِ
(with)
ٱلۡقُدُسِ‌ۗ
the Holy Spirit
أَفَكُلَّمَا
Is it (not) so (that) whenever
جَآءَكُمۡ
came to you
رَسُولُۢ
a Messenger
بِمَا
with what
لَا
(does) not
تَهۡوَىٰٓ
desire
أَنفُسُكُمُ
yourselves
ٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتُمۡ
you acted arrogantly
فَفَرِيقًا
So a party
كَذَّبۡتُمۡ
you denied
وَفَرِيقًا
and a party
تَقۡتُلُونَ
you kill(ed)
٨٧
And We did certainly give Moses the Scripture [i.e., the Torah] and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel]. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you, [O Children of Israel], with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party [of messengers] you denied and another party you killed.
2:88
وَقَالُواۡ
And they said
قُلُوبُنَا
Our hearts
غُلۡفُۢ‌ۚ
(are) wrapped
بَل
Nay
لَّعَنَهُمُ
has cursed them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ
for their disbelief
فَقَلِيلاً
so little
مَّا
(is) what
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
they believe
٨٨
And they said, "Our hearts are wrapped."1 But, [in fact], Allāh has cursed them for their disbelief, so little is it that they believe.
2:89
وَلَمَّا
And when
جَآءَهُمۡ
came to them
كِتَـٰبٌ
a Book

though they used to
مِن

قَبۡلُ
before
يَسۡتَفۡتِحُونَ
(that), pray for victory
عَلَى
over
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
فَلَمَّا
then when
جَآءَهُم
came to them
مَّا
what

So (the) curse
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
عَلَى
(is) on
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
the disbelievers
٨٩
And when there came to them a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] from Allāh confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allāh will be upon the disbelievers.
2:90
بِئۡسَمَا
Evil (is) that

wrath
وَلِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
And for the disbelievers
عَذَابٌ

مُّهِينٌ
humiliating
٩٠
How wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allāh has revealed through [their] outrage that Allāh would send down His favor upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
2:91

٩١
And when it is said to them, "Believe in what Allāh has revealed," they say, "We believe [only] in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what came after it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then why did you kill the prophets of Allāh before, if you are [indeed] believers?"
2:92
۞وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed

after him
وَأَنتُمۡ
and you

(were) wrongdoers
٩٢
And Moses had certainly brought you clear proofs. Then you took the calf [in worship] after that, while you were wrongdoers.
2:93
وَإِذۡ
And when
أَخَذۡنَا

They said

And they were made to drink

Evil (is) that

٩٣
And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."
2:94

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If the home of the Hereafter with Allāh is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."
2:95
وَلَن
And never (will)

But never will they wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
2:96
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمۡ

٩٦
And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allāh. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allāh is Seeing of what they do.

Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down upon your heart, [O Muḥammad], by permission of Allāh, confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers."

Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe.

And when a messenger from Allāh came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allāh [i.e., the Torah] behind their backs as if they did not know [what it contained].

١٠٢
And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt. But they [i.e., the two angels] do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]."1 And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allāh. And they [i.e., people] learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But they [i.e., the Children of Israel] certainly knew that whoever purchased it [i.e., magic] would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.
2:103

And if they had believed and feared Allāh, then the reward from Allāh would have been [far] better, if they only knew.

Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allāh delivers His command. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

(is) his reward
عِندَ
with
رَبِّهِۦ
his Lord
وَلَا
And no
خَوۡفٌ
fear

(will be) on them
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يَحۡزَنُونَ
(will) grieve
١١٢
Yes, [on the contrary], whoever submits his face [i.e., self] in Islām to Allāh while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
2:113
وَقَالَتِ
And said

ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ‌ۗ
the Book
كَذٰلِكَ
Like that
قَالَ
said
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
مِثۡلَ
similar
قَوۡلِهِمۡ‌ۚ
their saying
فَٱللَّهُ
[So] Allah
يَحۡكُمُ
will judge
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
between them
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) Resurrection
فِيمَا
in what
كَانُواۡ
they were
فِيهِ
[in it]
يَخۡتَلِفُونَ
differing
١١٣
The Jews say, "The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus do those who know not [i.e., the polytheists] speak the same as their words. But Allāh will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.
2:114
وَمَنۡ
And who

For them

وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
the Hereafter
عَذَابٌ

عَظِيمٌ
great
١١٤
And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allāh from being mentioned [i.e., praised] in His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter them except in fear. For them in this world is disgrace, and they will have in the Hereafter a great punishment.
2:115
وَلِلَّهِ
And for Allah
ٱلۡمَشۡرِقُ
(is) the east

so wherever

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

And to Allāh belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face1 of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
2:116

١١٦
They say, "Allāh has taken a son." Exalted is He!1 Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are devoutly obedient to Him,
2:117

Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

١١٨
Those who do not know say, "Why does Allāh not speak to us or there come to us a sign?" Thus spoke those before them like their words. Their hearts resemble each other. We have shown clearly the signs to a people who are certain [in faith].
2:119
إِنَّآ
Indeed We

[We] have sent you

١١٩
Indeed, We have sent you, [O Muḥammad], with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, and you will not be asked about the companions of Hellfire.
2:120
وَلَن
And never

And never will the Jews and the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allāh is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allāh no protector or helper.
2:121

Those to whom We have given the Book recite it with its true recital.1 They [are the ones who] believe in it. And whoever disbelieves in it - it is they who are the losers.

He said

(to) the wrongdoers
١٢٤
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with words [i.e., commands] and he fulfilled them. [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I will make you a leader for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [Allāh] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers."
2:125
وَإِذۡ

١٢٥
And [mention] when We made the House [i.e., the Kaʿbah] a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], "Purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf1 and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."

١٢٦
And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits - whoever of them believes in Allāh and the Last Day." [Allāh] said, "And whoever disbelieves - I will grant him enjoyment for a little; then I will force him to the punishment of the Fire, and wretched is the destination."

And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who makes a fool of himself. And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous.

When his Lord said to him, "Submit," he said, "I have submitted [in Islām]1 to the Lord of the worlds."

And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], "O my sons, indeed Allāh has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims."
2:133

١٣٣
Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God.1 And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
2:134

That was a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ
Allah
وَهُوَ
and He
ٱلسَّمِيعُ
(is) the All-Hearing
ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
the All-Knowing
١٣٧
So if they believe in the same as you believe in, then they have been [rightly] guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension, and Allāh will be sufficient for you against them. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants were Jews or Christians? Say, "Are you more knowing or is Allāh?" And who is more unjust than one who conceals a testimony1 he has from Allāh? And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.

That is a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

their direction of prayer
ٱلَّتِى

The foolish among the people will say, "What has turned them away from their qiblah,1 which they used to face?"2 Say, "To Allāh belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."
2:143
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
جَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ
We made you
أُمَّةً
a community
وَسَطًا
(of the) middle way
لِّتَكُونُواۡ
so that you will be
شُهَدَآءَ
witnesses
عَلَى

ٱلنَّاسِ
the mankind
وَيَكُونَ
and will be
ٱلرَّسُولُ
the Messenger
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
on you
شَهِيدًا‌ۗ
a witness
وَمَا
And not
جَعَلۡنَا
We made
ٱلۡقِبۡلَةَ
the direction of prayer
ٱلَّتِى
which
كُنتَ
you were used to
عَلَيۡهَآ
[on it]
إِلَّا
except
لِنَعۡلَمَ
that We make evident
مَن
(he) who
يَتَّبِعُ
follows
ٱلرَّسُولَ
the Messenger
مِمَّن
from (he) who
يَنقَلِبُ
turns back
عَلَىٰ
on
عَقِبَيۡهِ‌ۚ
his heels
وَإِن
And indeed
كَانَتۡ
it was
لَكَبِيرَةً
certainly a great (test)
إِلَّا
except
عَلَى
for
ٱلَّذِينَ
those whom
هَدَى
guided
ٱللَّهُ‌ۗ
(by) Allah

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
بِٱلنَّاسِ
(is) to [the] mankind
لَرَءُوفٌ
Full of Kindness
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
١٤٣
And thus We have made you a median [i.e., just] community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels.1 And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allāh has guided. And never would Allāh have caused you to lose your faith [i.e., your previous prayers]. Indeed Allāh is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.
2:144
قَدۡ
Indeed
نَرَىٰ
We see
تَقَلُّبَ
(the) turning
وَجۡهِكَ
(of) your face
فِى
towards
ٱلسَّمَآءِ‌ۖ
the heaven
فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ
So We will surely turn you
قِبۡلَةً
(to the) direction of prayer
تَرۡضَـٰهَا‌ۚ
you will be pleased with
فَوَلِّ
So turn
وَجۡهَكَ
your face
شَطۡرَ
towards the direction
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
(of) Al-Masjid
ٱلۡحَرَامِ‌ۚ
Al-Haraam
وَحَيۡثُ
and wherever
مَا
that
كُنتُمۡ
you are
فَوَلُّواۡ
[so] turn
وُجُوهَكُمۡ
your faces
شَطۡرَهُۥ‌ۗ
(in) its direction
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
أُوتُواۡ
were given
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
لَيَعۡلَمُونَ
surely know
أَنَّهُ
that it
ٱلۡحَقُّ
(is) the truth
مِن
from
رَّبِّهِمۡ‌ۗ
their Lord
وَمَا
And not
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
بِغَـٰفِلٍ
unaware
عَمَّا
of what
يَعۡمَلُونَ
they do
١٤٤
We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muḥammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face [i.e., yourself] toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām.1 And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces [i.e., yourselves] toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture [i.e., the Jews and the Christians] well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allāh is not unaware of what they do.
2:145
وَلَئِنۡ
And even if
أَتَيۡتَ
you come
ٱلَّذِينَ
(to) those who
أُوتُواۡ
were given
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
بِكُلِّ
with all
ءَايَةٍ
(the) signs
مَّا
not
تَبِعُواۡ
they would follow
قِبۡلَتَكَ‌ۚ
your direction of prayer
وَمَآ
and not
أَنتَ
(will) you (be)
بِتَابِعٍ
a follower
قِبۡلَتَهُمۡ‌ۚ
(of) their direction of prayer
وَمَا
And not
بَعۡضُهُم
some of them
بِتَابِعٍ
(are) followers
قِبۡلَةَ
(of the) direction of prayer
بَعۡضٍ‌ۚ
(of each) other
وَلَئِنِ
And if
ٱتَّبَعۡتَ
you followed
أَهۡوَآءَهُم
their desires
مِّنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
مَا
[what]
جَآءَكَ
came to you
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡعِلۡمِ‌ۙ
the knowledge
إِنَّكَ
indeed, you
إِذًا
(would) then
لَّمِنَ
(be) surely among
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
١٤٥
And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah. Nor would they be followers of one another's qiblah. So if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, indeed, you would then be among the wrongdoers.
2:146
ٱلَّذِينَ
(To) those whom
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمُ
We gave [them]
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book

كَمَا
like
يَعۡرِفُونَ
they recognize

their sons
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
فَرِيقًا
a group
مِّنۡهُمۡ
of them
لَيَكۡتُمُونَ
surely they conceal
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the Truth
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
١٤٦
Those to whom We gave the Scripture know him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] as they know their own sons. But indeed, a party of them conceal the truth while they know [it].
2:147
ٱلۡحَقُّ
The Truth
مِن

رَّبِّكَ‌ۖ
your Lord
فَلَا
so (do) not
تَكُونَنَّ

ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ
the doubters
١٤٧
The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
2:148
وَلِكُلٍّ
And for everyone
وِجۡهَةٌ

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

every

All-Powerful
١٤٨
For each [religious following] is a [prayer] direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good. Wherever you may be, Allāh will bring you forth [for judgement] all together. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
2:149
وَمِنۡ
And from

[so] turn

And not
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
بِغَـٰفِلٍ
unaware

١٤٩
So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muḥammad], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.
2:150
وَمِنۡ
And from
حَيۡثُ
wherever

you (all) are

so that not

will be

عَلَيۡكُمۡ
against you
حُجَّةٌ
any argument
إِلَّا
except
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged

among them
فَلَا
so (do) not
تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ
fear them
وَٱخۡشَوۡنِى

وَلِأُتِمَّ
And that I complete
نِعۡمَتِى
My favor

[and] so that you may

١٥٠
And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided,

And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allāh, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.

Indeed, aṣ-Ṣafā and al-Marwah are among the symbols1 of Allāh. So whoever makes ḥajj [pilgrimage] to the House or performs ʿumrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them.2 And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allāh is Appreciative3 and Knowing.

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allāh has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and earth are signs for a people who use reason.

And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allāh as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allāh. But those who believe are stronger in love for Allāh. And if only they who have wronged would consider [that] when they see the punishment, [they will be certain] that all power belongs to Allāh and that Allāh is severe in punishment.
2:166

[And they should consider that] when those who have been followed disassociate themselves from those who followed [them], and they [all] see the punishment, and cut off from them are the ties [of relationship],
2:167
وَقَالَ

Those who followed will say, "If only we had another turn [at worldly life] so we could disassociate ourselves from them as they have disassociated themselves from us." Thus will Allāh show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they are never to emerge from the Fire.

And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allāh has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided?
2:171
وَمَثَلُ
And (the) example
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve[d]
كَمَثَلِ

ٱلَّذِى
(of) the one who

بُكۡمٌ
dumb
عُمۡىٌ
(and) blind
فَهُمۡ
[so] they
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡقِلُونَ

١٧١
The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries [i.e., cattle or sheep] - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.
2:172
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you

O you who have believed, eat from the good [i.e., lawful] things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allāh if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.
2:173
إِنَّمَا
Only
حَرَّمَ
He has forbidden
عَلَيۡكُمُ
to you
ٱلۡمَيۡتَةَ
the dead animals
وَٱلدَّمَ
and [the] blood
وَلَحۡمَ
and flesh
ٱلۡخِنزِيرِ

and what
أُهِلَّ
has been dedicated
بِهِۦ
[with it]
لِغَيۡرِ
to other than
ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ
Allah
فَمَنِ
So whoever
ٱضۡطُرَّ
(is) forced by necessity
غَيۡرَ
without
بَاغٍ
(being) disobedient
وَلَا
and not
عَادٍ
transgressor

then no

on him
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
غَفُورٌ
(is) Oft-Forgiving
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
١٧٣
He has only forbidden to you dead animals,1 blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
2:174
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَكۡتُمُونَ

what
أَنزَلَ

ٱللَّهُ
Allah (has)

Those

not

their bellies
إِلَّا
except
ٱلنَّارَ
the Fire
وَلَا
And not
يُكَلِّمُهُمُ
will speak to them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) [the] Judgment
وَلَا
and not
يُزَكِّيهِمۡ
will He purify them
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
عَذَابٌ
(is) a punishment
أَلِيمٌ
painful
١٧٤
Indeed, they who conceal what Allāh has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except the Fire. And Allāh will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment.
2:175
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
ٱلَّذِينَ
(are) they who
ٱشۡتَرَوُاۡ
purchase[d]
ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةَ
[the] astraying
بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ
for [the] Guidance
وَٱلۡعَذَابَ
and [the] punishment
بِٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ‌ۚ
for [the] forgiveness
فَمَآ
So what (is)
أَصۡبَرَهُمۡ
their endurance
عَلَى
on
ٱلنَّارِ
the Fire
١٧٥
Those are the ones who have exchanged guidance for error and forgiveness for punishment. How patient they are for [i.e., in pursuit of] the Fire!
2:176
ذٰلِكَ
That
بِأَنَّ
(is) because
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
نَزَّلَ
revealed
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۗ
with [the] Truth
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those
ٱخۡتَلَفُواۡ
who differed
فِى
in
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
the Book
لَفِى
(are) surely in
شِقَاقِۭ
schism

١٧٦
That is [deserved by them] because Allāh has sent down the Book in truth. And indeed, those who differ over the Book are in extreme dissension.
2:177

ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
the prayer

١٧٧
Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allāh, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakāh; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.

١٧٨
O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female.1 But whoever overlooks from his brother [i.e., the killer] anything,2 then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him [i.e., the deceased's heir or legal representative] with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that3 will have a painful punishment.

But if one fears from the bequeather [some] error or sin and corrects that which is between them [i.e., the concerned parties], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of other days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers good [i.e., excess] - it is better for him.

The month of Ramaḍān [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’ān, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the crescent of] the month,1 let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allāh intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allāh for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.
2:186

And when My servants ask you, [O Muḥammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.

So now

ٱللَّهُ

ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ
His verses
لِلنَّاسِ
for [the] people
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَتَّقُونَ
(become) righteous
١٨٧
It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are a clothing for you and you are a clothing1 for them. Allāh knows that you used to deceive yourselves,2 so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allāh has decreed for you [i.e., offspring]. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the night [i.e., sunset]. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allāh, so do not approach them. Thus does Allāh make clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that they may become righteous.
2:188
وَلَا
And (do) not

١٨٨
And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful].
2:189

وَٱتَّقُواۡ
And fear
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

تُفۡلِحُونَ
(be) successful
١٨٩
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the crescent moons. Say, "They are measurements of time for the people and for ḥajj [pilgrimage]." And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allāh. And enter houses from their doors. And fear Allāh that you may succeed.

And kill them [in battle] wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah1 is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Ḥarām until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
2:192

Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] religion [i.e., worship] is [acknowledged to be] for Allāh. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression [i.e., assault] except against the oppressors.

[Battle in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month,1 and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is with those who fear Him.

And complete the ḥajj and ʿumrah for Allāh. But if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And do not shave your heads until the sacrificial animal has reached its place of slaughter. And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head [making shaving necessary must offer] a ransom of fasting [three days] or charity1 or sacrifice.2 And when you are secure,3 then whoever performs ʿumrah [during the ḥajj months]4 followed by ḥajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals. And whoever cannot find [or afford such an animal] - then a fast of three days during ḥajj and of seven when you have returned [home]. Those are ten complete [days]. This is for those whose family is not in the area of al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is severe in penalty.

And when it is said to him, "Fear Allāh," pride in the sin takes hold of him. Sufficient for him is Hellfire, and how wretched is the resting place.

And of the people is he who sells himself, seeking means to the approval of Allāh. And Allāh is Kind to [His] servants.

Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allāh sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over it [i.e., the Scripture] except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And Allāh guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed, by His permission. And Allāh guides whom He wills to a straight path.

Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allāh?" Unquestionably, the help of Allāh is near.

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], what they should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it."

Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows, while you know not.

They ask you about the sacred month1 - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allāh and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allāh. And fitnah2 is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

They ask you about wine1 and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend.

And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe.1 And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allāh invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that perhaps they may remember.

For those who swear not to have sexual relations with their wives1 is a waiting time of four months, but if they return [to normal relations] - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Divorced women remain in waiting [i.e., do not remarry] for three periods,1 and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allāh has created in their wombs if they believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation.2 And due to them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable.3 But the men [i.e., husbands] have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Divorce is twice. Then [after that], either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allāh.1 But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allāh, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allāh, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allāh - it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].

And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him.1 And if he [i.e., the latter husband] divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon them [i.e., the woman and her former husband] for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allāh. These are the limits of Allāh, which He makes clear to a people who know [i.e.,understand].

And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or release them according to acceptable terms, and do not keep them, intending harm, to transgress [against them]. And whoever does that has certainly wronged himself. And do not take the verses of Allāh in jest. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you and what has been revealed to you of the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom [i.e., the Prophet's sunnah] by which He instructs you.

Mothers may nurse [i.e., breastfeed] their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. Upon the father is their [i.e., the mothers'] provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father].

٢٤٣
Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? Allāh said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.

Who is it that would loan Allāh a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allāh who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.

٢٤٦
Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allāh"? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if battle was prescribed for you?" They said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allāh when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when battle was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allāh has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allāh has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allāh gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing."

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance1 from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."

٢٤٩
And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allāh will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers." But those who were certain that they would meet Allāh said, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allāh. And Allāh is with the patient."
2:250
وَلَمَّا
And when
بَرَزُواۡ
they went forth
لِجَالُوتَ

they said
رَبَّنَآ

٢٥٠
And when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."
2:251
فَهَزَمُوهُم
So they defeated them
بِإِذۡنِ
by (the) permission
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
وَقَتَلَ
and killed
دَاوُۥدُ
Dawood
جَالُوتَ
Jalut
وَءَاتَـٰهُ
and gave him
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلۡمُلۡكَ
the kingdom

وَعَلَّمَهُۥ
and taught him
مِمَّا
that which
يَشَآءُ‌ۗ
He willed
وَلَوۡلَا
And if not

ٱلنَّاسَ
[the] people

some of them

Allah
ذُو

فَضۡلٍ
(of) bounty

ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
the worlds
٢٥١
So they defeated them by permission of Allāh, and David killed Goliath, and Allāh gave him the kingship and wisdom [i.e., prophethood] and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allāh checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the worlds.

Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allāh spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]. If Allāh had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allāh does what He intends.

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living,1 the Self-Sustaining.2 Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,3 and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī4 extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High,5 the Most Great.6

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become distinct from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in ṭāghūt1 and believes in Allāh has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

Allāh is the Ally1 of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses.2 Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

the east

٢٥٨
Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allāh had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allāh brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

٢٥٩
Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allāh bring this to life after its death?" So Allāh caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" He [the man] said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allāh is over all things competent."

And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." [Allāh] said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied." [Allāh] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself.1 Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."

The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allāh multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
2:262

٢٦٢
Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
2:263
۞قَوۡلٌ
A word

Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allāh is Free of need and Forbearing.

O you

ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۖ
[the] Last

Then his example
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like
صَفۡوَانٍ
(that of a) smooth rock

تُرَابٌ

[the] disbelieving
٢٦٤
O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders [of it] or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allāh and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
2:265
وَمَثَلُ

(of) Allah
وَتَثۡبِيتًا

أَنفُسِهِمۡ
their (inner) souls
كَمَثَلِ

a garden

then a drizzle
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
بِمَا
of what

٢٦٥
And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allāh and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour - so it yields its fruits in double. And [even] if it is not hit by a downpour, then a drizzle [is sufficient]. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.
2:266

then falls on it
إِعۡصَارٌ
whirlwind

in it

then it is burnt
كَذٰلِكَ

٢٦٦
Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak [i.e., immature] offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allāh make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.

O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allāh promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

He gives wisdom1 to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding.

And whatever you spend of expenditures or make of vows - indeed, Allāh knows of it. And for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.
2:271

you disclose

But if
تُخۡفُوهَا
you keep it secret
وَتُؤۡتُوهَا
and give it
ٱلۡفُقَرَآءَ
(to) the poor
فَهُوَ
then it
خَيۡرٌ

And He will remove

وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
بِمَا

If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.

Not upon you, [O Muḥammad], is [responsibility for] their guidance, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And whatever good you [believers] spend is for yourselves, and you do not spend except seeking the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh. And whatever you spend of good1 - it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allāh, unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.

٢٧٥
Those who consume interest1 cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allāh has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allāh. But whoever returns [to dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allāh and His Messenger. But if you repent, you may have your principal - [thus] you do no wrong, nor are you wronged.

إِن
If

And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of] ease. But if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for you, if you only knew.
2:281
وَٱتَّقُواۡ
And fear
يَوۡمًا
a Day
تُرۡجَعُونَ
you will be brought back
فِيهِ
[in it]
إِلَى

Then

٢٨١
And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allāh. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged [i.e., treated unjustly].

O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice. Let no scribe refuse to write as Allāh has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation [i.e., the debtor] dictate. And let him fear Allāh, his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of them [i.e., the women] errs, then the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called upon. And do not be [too] weary to write it, whether it is small or large, for its [specified] term. That is more just in the sight of Allāh and stronger as evidence and more likely to prevent doubt between you, except when it is an immediate transaction which you conduct among yourselves. For [then] there is no blame upon you if you do not write it. And take witnesses when you conclude a contract. Let no scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it is [grave] disobedience in you. And fear Allāh. And Allāh teaches you. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.

And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allāh, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allāh is Knowing of what you do.

To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allāh will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.

The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allāh and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."

Allāh does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."1
