2:142
۞سَيَقُولُ
Will say
ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ
the foolish ones
مِنَ
from
ٱلنَّاسِ
the people
مَا
What
وَلَّـٰهُمۡ
(has) turned them
عَن
from
قِبۡلَتِهِمُ
their direction of prayer
ٱلَّتِى
which
كَانُواۡ
they were used to
عَلَيۡهَا‌ۚ
[on it]
قُل
Say
لِّلَّهِ
For Allah
ٱلۡمَشۡرِقُ
(is) the east
وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبُ‌ۚ
and the west
يَهۡدِى
He guides
مَن
whom
يَشَآءُ
He wills
إِلَىٰ
to
صِرٰطٍ
a path
مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ
straight
١٤٢
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
over
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
وَمَا
And not
كَانَ
will
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لِيُضِيعَ
let go waste
إِيمَـٰنَكُمۡ‌ۚ
your faith
إِنَّ
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
يَعۡرِفُونَهُۥ
they recognize it
كَمَا
like
يَعۡرِفُونَ
they recognize
أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ‌ۖ
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
(is) from
رَّبِّكَ‌ۖ
your Lord
فَلَا
so (do) not
تَكُونَنَّ
be
مِنَ
among
ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ
the doubters
١٤٧
The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
2:148
وَلِكُلٍّ
And for everyone
وِجۡهَةٌ
(is) a direction
هُوَ
he
مُوَلِّيهَا‌ۖ
turns towards it
فَٱسۡتَبِقُواۡ
so race
ٱلۡخَيۡرٰتِ‌ۚ
(to) the good
أَيۡنَ
Wherever
مَا
that
تَكُونُواۡ
you will be
يَأۡتِ
will bring
بِكُمُ
you
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
جَمِيعًا‌ۚ
together
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَلَىٰ
(is) on
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
قَدِيرٌ
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
حَيۡثُ
wherever
خَرَجۡتَ
you start forth
فَوَلِّ
[so] turn
وَجۡهَكَ
your face
شَطۡرَ
(in the) direction
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
(of) Al-Masjid
ٱلۡحَرَامِ‌ۖ
Al-Haraam
وَإِنَّهُۥ
And indeed, it
لَلۡحَقُّ
(is) surely the truth
مِن
from
رَّبِّكَ‌ۗ
your Lord
وَمَا
And not
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
بِغَـٰفِلٍ
unaware
عَمَّا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
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
خَرَجۡتَ
you start forth
فَوَلِّ
[so] turn
وَجۡهَكَ
your face
شَطۡرَ
(in the) direction
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
(of) Al-Masjid
ٱلۡحَرَامِ‌ۚ
Al-Haraam
وَحَيۡثُ
And wherever
مَا
that
كُنتُمۡ
you (all) are
فَوَلُّواۡ
[so] turn
وُجُوهَكُمۡ
your faces
شَطۡرَهُۥ
(in) its direction
لِئَلَّا
so that not
يَكُونَ
will be
لِلنَّاسِ
for the people
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
against you
حُجَّةٌ
any argument
إِلَّا
except
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
مِنۡهُمۡ
among them
فَلَا
so (do) not
تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ
fear them
وَٱخۡشَوۡنِى
but fear Me
وَلِأُتِمَّ
And that I complete
نِعۡمَتِى
My favor
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
upon you
وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ
[and] so that you may
تَهۡتَدُونَ
(be) guided
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,
2:151
كَمَآ
As
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
فِيكُمۡ
among you
رَسُولاً
a Messenger
مِّنكُمۡ
from you
يَتۡلُواۡ
(who) recites
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
to you
ءَايَـٰتِنَا
Our verses
وَيُزَكِّيكُمۡ
and purifies you
وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ
and teaches you
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ
and the wisdom
وَيُعَلِّمُكُم
and teaches you
مَّا
what
لَمۡ
not
تَكُونُواۡ
you were
تَعۡلَمُونَ
knowing
١٥١
Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom1 and teaching you that which you did not know.
2:152
فَٱذۡكُرُونِىٓ
So remember Me
أَذۡكُرۡكُمۡ
I will remember you
وَٱشۡكُرُواۡ
and be grateful
لِى
to Me
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَكۡفُرُونِ
(be) ungrateful to Me
١٥٢
So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.
2:153
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
ٱسۡتَعِينُواۡ
Seek help
بِٱلصَّبۡرِ
through patience
وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ‌ۚ
and the prayer
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مَعَ
(is) with
ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
the patient ones
١٥٣
O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allāh is with the patient.
2:154
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَقُولُواۡ
say
لِمَن
for (the ones) who
يُقۡتَلُ
are slain
فِى
in
سَبِيلِ
(the) way
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
أَمۡوٰتُۢ‌ۚ
(They are) dead
بَلۡ
Nay
أَحۡيَآءٌ
(they are) alive
وَلَـٰكِن
[and] but
لَّا
you (do) not
تَشۡعُرُونَ
perceive
١٥٤
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.
2:155
وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُم
And surely We will test you
بِشَىۡءٍ
with something
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡخَوۡفِ
[the] fear
وَٱلۡجُوعِ
and [the] hunger
وَنَقۡصٍ
and loss
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡأَمۡوٰلِ
[the] wealth
وَٱلۡأَنفُسِ
and [the] lives
وَٱلثَّمَرٰتِ‌ۗ
and [the] fruits
وَبَشِّرِ
but give good news
ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
(to) the patient ones
١٥٥
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,
2:156
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
إِذَآ
when
أَصَـٰبَتۡهُم
strikes them
مُّصِيبَةٌ
a misfortune
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
لِلَّهِ
belong to Allah
وَإِنَّآ
and indeed we
إِلَيۡهِ
towards Him
رٰجِعُونَ
will return
١٥٦
Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allāh, and indeed to Him we will return."
2:157
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
on them
صَلَوٰتٌ
(are) blessings
مِّن
from
رَّبِّهِمۡ
their Lord
وَرَحۡمَةٌ‌ۖ
and Mercy
وَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
And those
هُمُ
[they]
ٱلۡمُهۡتَدُونَ
(are) the guided ones
١٥٧
Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.
2:158
۞إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلصَّفَا
the Safa
وَٱلۡمَرۡوَةَ
and the Marwah
مِن
(are) from
شَعَآئِرِ
(the) symbols
ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ
(of) Allah
فَمَنۡ
So whoever
حَجَّ
performs Hajj
ٱلۡبَيۡتَ
(of) the House
أَوِ
or
ٱعۡتَمَرَ
performs Umrah
فَلَا
so no
جُنَاحَ
blame
عَلَيۡهِ
on him
أَن
that
يَطَّوَّفَ
he walks
بِهِمَا‌ۚ
between [both of] them
وَمَن
And whoever
تَطَوَّعَ
voluntarily does
خَيۡرًا
good
فَإِنَّ
then indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
شَاكِرٌ
(is) All-Appreciative
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knowing
١٥٨
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.
2:159
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَكۡتُمُونَ
conceal
مَآ
what
أَنزَلۡنَا
We revealed
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
the clear proofs
وَٱلۡهُدَىٰ
and the Guidance
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
مَا
[what]
بَيَّنَّـٰهُ
We made clear
لِلنَّاسِ
to the people
فِى
in
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ‌ۙ
the Book
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
يَلۡعَنُهُمُ
curses them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
وَيَلۡعَنُهُمُ
and curse them
ٱللَّـٰعِنُونَ
the ones who curse
١٥٩
Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allāh and cursed by those who curse,1
2:160
إِلَّا
Except
ٱلَّذِينَ
those
تَابُواۡ
who repent[ed]
وَأَصۡلَحُواۡ
and reform[ed]
وَبَيَّنُواۡ
and openly declar[ed]
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Then those
أَتُوبُ
I will accept repentance
عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ۚ
from them
وَأَنَا
and I (am)
ٱلتَّوَّابُ
the Acceptor of Repentance
ٱلرَّحِيمُ
the Most Merciful
١٦٠
Except for those who repent and correct themselves and make evident [what they concealed]. Those - I will accept their repentance, and I am the Accepting of Repentance,1 the Merciful.
2:161
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve[d]
وَمَاتُواۡ
and die[d]
وَهُمۡ
while they
كُفَّارٌ
(were) disbelievers
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
on them
لَعۡنَةُ
(is the) curse
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
وَٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
and the Angels
وَٱلنَّاسِ
and the mankind
أَجۡمَعِينَ
all together
١٦١
Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - upon them will be the curse of Allāh and of the angels and the people, all together,
2:162
خَـٰلِدِينَ
(Will) abide forever
فِيهَا‌ۖ
in it
لَا
Not
يُخَفَّفُ
will be lightened
عَنۡهُمُ
for them
ٱلۡعَذَابُ
the punishment
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يُنظَرُونَ
will be reprieved
١٦٢
Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.
2:163
وَإِلَـٰهُكُمۡ
And your God
إِلَـٰهٌ
(is) God
وٰحِدٌ‌ۖ
one (only)
لَّآ
(there is) no
إِلَـٰهَ
god
إِلَّا
except
هُوَ
Him
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ
the Most Gracious
ٱلرَّحِيمُ
the Most Merciful
١٦٣
And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
2:164
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
خَلۡقِ
(the) creation
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
وَٱخۡتِلَـٰفِ
and alternation
ٱلَّيۡلِ
of the night
وَٱلنَّهَارِ
and the day
وَٱلۡفُلۡكِ
and the ships
ٱلَّتِى
which
تَجۡرِى
sail
فِى
in
ٱلۡبَحۡرِ
the sea
بِمَا
with what
يَنفَعُ
benefits
ٱلنَّاسَ
[the] people
وَمَآ
and what
أَنزَلَ
(has) sent down
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مِن
[of]
مَّآءٍ
water
فَأَحۡيَا
giving life
بِهِ
thereby
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
(to) the earth
بَعۡدَ
after
مَوۡتِهَا
its death
وَبَثَّ
and dispersing
فِيهَا
therein
مِن
[of]
كُلِّ
every
دَآبَّةٍ
moving creature
وَتَصۡرِيفِ
and directing
ٱلرِّيَـٰحِ
(of) the winds
وَٱلسَّحَابِ
and the clouds
ٱلۡمُسَخَّرِ
[the] controlled
بَيۡنَ
between
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
لَأَيَـٰتٍ
surely (are) Signs
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يَعۡقِلُونَ
who use their intellect
١٦٤
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.
2:165
وَمِنَ
And among
ٱلنَّاسِ
the mankind
مَن
who
يَتَّخِذُ
takes
مِن
from
دُونِ
besides
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
أَندَادًا
equals
يُحِبُّونَهُمۡ
They love them
كَحُبِّ
as (they should) love
ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ
Allah
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
ءَامَنُوٓاۡ
believe[d]
أَشَدُّ
(are) stronger
حُبًّا
(in) love
لِّلَّهِ‌ۗ
for Allah
وَلَوۡ
And if
يَرَى
would see
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُوٓاۡ
wronged
إِذۡ
when
يَرَوۡنَ
they will see
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment
أَنَّ
that
ٱلۡقُوَّةَ
the power
لِلَّهِ
(belongs) to Allah
جَمِيعًا
all
وَأَنَّ
and [that]
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
شَدِيدُ
(is) severe
ٱلۡعَذَابِ
(in) [the] punishment
١٦٥
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
إِذۡ
When
تَبَرَّأَ
will disown
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ٱتُّبِعُواۡ
were followed
مِنَ
[from]
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ٱتَّبَعُواۡ
followed
وَرَأَوُاۡ
and they will see
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment
وَتَقَطَّعَتۡ
[and] will be cut off
بِهِمُ
for them
ٱلۡأَسۡبَابُ
the relations
١٦٦
[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
And said
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ٱتَّبَعُواۡ
followed

then we will disown
مِنۡهُمۡ
[from] them
كَمَا
as
تَبَرَّءُواۡ
they disown
مِنَّا‌ۗ
[from] us
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يُرِيهِمُ
will show them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ
their deeds
حَسَرٰتٍ
(as) regrets
عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ۖ
for them
وَمَا
And not
هُم
they
بِخَـٰرِجِينَ
will come out
مِنَ

ٱلنَّارِ
the Fire
١٦٧
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.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O

the Shaitaan

Indeed, he

١٦٨
O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
2:169
إِنَّمَا
Only
يَأۡمُرُكُم
he commands you
بِٱلسُّوٓءِ
to (do) the evil
وَٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ
and the shameful
وَأَن

you say

about
ٱللَّهِ
Allah

١٦٩
He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allāh what you do not know.
2:170
وَإِذَا
And when
قِيلَ
it is said

١٧٠
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
(is) like (the) example
ٱلَّذِى
(of) the one who
يَنۡعِقُ
shouts
بِمَا
at what
لَا
not
يَسۡمَعُ
(does) hear
إِلَّا
except
دُعَآءً
calls
وَنِدَآءً‌ۚ
and cries
صُمُّۢ
deaf
بُكۡمٌ
dumb
عُمۡىٌ
(and) blind
فَهُمۡ
[so] they
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡقِلُونَ
understand
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
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
كُلُواۡ
Eat

and be grateful
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you

١٧٢
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
(of) swine
وَمَآ
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
فَلَآ
then no
إِثۡمَ
sin
عَلَيۡهِ‌ۚ
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
conceal
مَآ
what
أَنزَلَ
(has) revealed
ٱللَّهُ
Allah (has)
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
the Book
وَيَشۡتَرُونَ
and they purchase
بِهِۦ
there with
ثَمَنًا
a gain
قَلِيلاً‌ۙ
little
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
مَا
not
يَأۡكُلُونَ
they eat
فِى
in
بُطُونِهِمۡ
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
بَعِيدٍ
far
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

freeing the necks (slaves)

ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
the prayer

بِعَهۡدِهِمۡ
their covenant

they make it

هُمُ
[they]
ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَ

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.

with suitable

ذٰلِكَ
That (is)
تَخۡفِيفٌ
a concession

Then whoever

that

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.
2:179

ٱلۡقِصَاصِ
the legal retribution

And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life, O you [people] of understanding, that you may become righteous.1

Prescribed for you when death approaches [any] one of you if he leaves wealth [is that he should make] a bequest for the parents and near relatives according to what is acceptable - a duty upon the righteous.1
2:181
فَمَنۢ
Then whoever

Indeed

Then whoever alters it [i.e., the bequest] after he has heard it - the sin is only upon those who have altered it. Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
2:182

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
غَفُورٌ

All-Merciful

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. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.

١٨٥
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.

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.

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].

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.

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.

There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty1 from your Lord [during ḥajj]. But when you depart from ʿArafāt, remember Allāh at al-Mashʿar al-Ḥarām.2 And remember Him, as He has guided you, for indeed, you were before that among those astray.

Beautified for those who disbelieve is the life of this world, and they ridicule those who believe. But those who fear Allāh are above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allāh gives provision to whom He wills without account.

٢١٣
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. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allāh makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought

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.

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].

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]. And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them.

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.

وَقَالَ

لَهُمۡ
to them
نَبِيُّهُمۡ
their Prophet
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
قَدۡ
(has) surely
بَعَثَ
raised
لَكُمۡ
for you
طَالُوتَ
Talut
مَلِكًا‌ۚ
(as) a king
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
أَنَّىٰ
How
يَكُونُ
can be
لَهُ
for him
ٱلۡمُلۡكُ
the kingship
عَلَيۡنَا
over us
وَنَحۡنُ
while we
أَحَقُّ
(are) more entitled
بِٱلۡمُلۡكِ
to kingship
مِنۡهُ
than him
وَلَمۡ
and not
يُؤۡتَ
he has been given
سَعَةً
abundance
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡمَالِ‌ۚ
[the] wealth
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
ٱصۡطَفَـٰهُ
has chosen him
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
over you
وَزَادَهُۥ
and increased him
بَسۡطَةً
abundantly
فِى
in
ٱلۡعِلۡمِ
[the] knowledge
وَٱلۡجِسۡمِ‌ۖ
and [the] physique
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
يُؤۡتِى
gives
مُلۡكَهُۥ
His kingdom
مَن
(to) whom
يَشَآءُ‌ۚ
He wills
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
وٰسِعٌ
(is) All-Encompassing
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knowing
٢٤٧
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."
2:248
وَقَالَ
And said
لَهُمۡ
to them
نَبِيُّهُمۡ
their Prophet
إِنَّ
Indeed
ءَايَةَ
a sign
مُلۡكِهِۦٓ
(of) his kingship
أَن
(is) that
يَأۡتِيَكُمُ
will come to you
ٱلتَّابُوتُ
the ark
فِيهِ
in it
سَكِينَةٌ

مِّن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
وَبَقِيَّةٌ
and a remnant
مِّمَّا
of what
تَرَكَ
(was) left
ءَالُ
(by the) family
مُوسَىٰ
(of) Musa
وَءَالُ
and family
هَـٰرُونَ
(of) Harun

ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ‌ۚ

٢٤٨
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."
2:249
فَلَمَّا
Then when
فَصَلَ
set out
طَالُوتُ
Talut
بِٱلۡجُنُودِ
with the forces
قَالَ
he said
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مُبۡتَلِيكُم
will test you
بِنَهَرٍ
with a river
فَمَن
So whoever
شَرِبَ
drinks
مِنۡهُ
from it
فَلَيۡسَ
then he is not
مِنِّى
from me
وَمَن
and whoever
لَّمۡ
(does) not
يَطۡعَمۡهُ
taste it
فَإِنَّهُۥ
then indeed, he
مِنِّىٓ
(is) from me
إِلَّا
except
مَنِ
whoever
ٱغۡتَرَفَ
takes
غُرۡفَةَۢ
(in the) hollow
بِيَدِهِۦ‌ۚ
(of) his hand
فَشَرِبُواۡ
Then they drank
مِنۡهُ
from it
إِلَّا
except
قَلِيلاً
a few
مِّنۡهُمۡ‌ۚ
of them
فَلَمَّا
Then when
جَاوَزَهُۥ
he crossed it
هُوَ
he
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
مَعَهُۥ
with him
قَالُواۡ
they said
لَا
No
طَاقَةَ
strength
لَنَا
for us
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
today
بِجَالُوتَ
against Jalut
وَجُنُودِهِۦ‌ۚ
and his troops
قَالَ
Said
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَظُنُّونَ
were certain
أَنَّهُم
that they
مُّلَـٰقُواۡ
(would) meet
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
كَم
How many
مِّن
of
فِئَةٍ
a company
قَلِيلَةٍ
small
غَلَبَتۡ
overcame
فِئَةً
a company
كَثِيرَةَۢ
large
بِإِذۡنِ
by (the) permission
ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
مَعَ
(is) with
ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
the patient ones
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
to (face) Jalut
وَجُنُودِهِۦ
and his troops
قَالُواۡ
they said
رَبَّنَآ
Our Lord
أَفۡرِغۡ
Pour
عَلَيۡنَا
on us
صَبۡرًا
patience
وَثَبِّتۡ
and make firm
أَقۡدَامَنَا
our feet
وَٱنصُرۡنَا
and help us
عَلَى
against
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
(who are) disbelieving
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
وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ
and the wisdom
وَعَلَّمَهُۥ
and taught him
مِمَّا
that which
يَشَآءُ‌ۗ
He willed
وَلَوۡلَا
And if not
دَفۡعُ
(for the) repelling
ٱللَّهِ
(by) Allah
ٱلنَّاسَ
[the] people
بَعۡضَهُم
some of them
بِبَعۡضٍ
with others
لَّفَسَدَتِ
certainly (would have) corrupted
ٱلۡأَرۡضُ
the Earth
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
[and] but
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
ذُو
(is) Possessor
فَضۡلٍ
(of) bounty
عَلَى
to
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.
2:252
تِلۡكَ
These
ءَايَـٰتُ
(are the) Verses
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
نَتۡلُوهَا
We recite them
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
بِٱلۡحَقِّ‌ۚ
in [the] truth
وَإِنَّكَ
And indeed, you
لَمِنَ
(are) surely of
ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
the Messengers
٢٥٢
These are the verses of Allāh which We recite to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth. And indeed, you are from among the messengers.
