And there are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us Good in this world And good in the Hereafter, And defend us From the torment Of the Fire!"
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:201When it is said to him, "Fear God," He is led by arrogance To (more) crime. Enough for him is Hell;— An evil bed indeed (To lie on)!
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:206Or do ye think That ye shall enter The Garden (of Bliss) Without such (trials) As came to those Who passed away Before you? They encountered Suffering and adversity, And were so shaken in spirit That even the Apostle And those of faith Who were with him Cried: "When (will come) The help of God?" Ah! Verily, the help of God Is (always) near!
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:214They ask thee What they should spend (In charity). Say: Whatever Ye spend that is good, Is for parents and kindred And orphans And those in want And for wayfarers. And whatever ye do That is good,—God Knoweth it well.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:215They ask thee Concerning fighting In the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein Is a grave (offence); But graver is it In the sight of God To prevent access To the path of God, To deny Him, To prevent access To the Sacred Mosque, And drive out its members. Tumult and oppression Are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease Fighting you until They turn you back From your faith If they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith And die in unbelief, Their works will bear no fruit In this life And in the Hereafter; They will be Companions of the Fire And will abide therein.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:217They ask thee Concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, And some profit, for men; But the sin is greater Than the profit." They ask thee how much They are to spend; Say: "What is beyond Your needs." Thus doth God Make clear to you His Signs: in order that Ye may consider—
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:219(Their bearings) on This life and the Hereafter. They ask thee Concerning orphans. Say: "The best thing to do Is what is for their good; If ye mix Their affairs with yours, They are your brethren; But God knows The man who means mischief From the man who means good. And if God had wished, He could have put you Into difficulties: He is indeed Exalted in Power, Wise.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:220They ask thee Concerning women's courses. Say: They are A hurt and a pollution: So keep away from women In their courses, and do not Approach them until They are clean. But when they have Purified themselves, Ye may approach them In any manner, time, or place Ordained for you by God. For God loves those Who turn to Him constantly And He loves those Who keep themselves pure and clean,
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:222There is no blame On you if ye make An offer of betrothal Or hold it in your hearts. God knows that ye Cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract With them except in terms Honourable, nor resolve on the tie Of marriage till the term Prescribed is fulfilled. And know that God Knoweth what is in your hearts, And take heed of Him; And know that God is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:235Didst thou not Turn by vision to those Who abandoned their homes, Though they were thousands (In number), for fear of death? God said to them: "Die": Then He restored them to life. For God is full of bounty To mankind, but Most of them are ungrateful.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:243Hast thou not Turned thy vision to the Chiefs Of the Children of Israel After (the time of) Moses? They said to a Prophet (That was) among them: "Appoint for us a King, that we May fight in the cause of God." He said: "Is it not possible, If ye were commanded To fight, that that ye Will not fight?" They said: "How could we refuse To fight in the cause of God, Seeing that we were turned out Of our homes and our families?" But when they were commanded To fight, they turned back, Except a small band Among them. But God Has full knowledge of those Who do wrong.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:246Their Prophet said to them: "God hath appointed Talut as king over you." They said: "How can he Exercise authority over us When we are better fitted Than he to exercise authority, And he is not even gifted, With wealth in abundance?" He said: "God hath Chosen him above you, And hath gifted him Abundantly with knowledge And bodily prowess: God Granteth His authority to whom He pleaseth. God careth For all, and He knoweth All things."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:247And (further) their Prophet Said to them: "A Sign Of his authority Is that there shall come To you the Ark of the Covenant, With (an assurance) therein Of security from your Lord, And the relics left By the family of Moses And the family of Aaron, Carried by angels. In this is a Symbol For you if ye indeed Have faith."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:248When Talūt set forth With the armies, he said: "God will test you At the stream: if any Drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not Of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand Is excused." But they all Drank of it, except a few. When they crossed the river,— He and the faithful ones with him, They said: "This day We cannot cope With Goliath and his forces." But those who were convinced That they must meet God, Said: "How oft, by God's will, Hath a small force Vanquished a big one? God is with those Who steadfastly persevere."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:249When they advanced To meet Goliath and his forces, They prayed: "Our Lord Pour out constancy on us And make our steps firm: Help us against those That reject faith."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:250Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one Who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because God had granted him Power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death." Said Abraham: "But it is God That causeth the sun To rise from the East: Do thou then cause him To rise from the West." Thus was he confounded Who (in arrogance) rejected Faith. Nor doth God Give guidance To a people unjust.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:258Or (take) the similitude Of one who passed By a hamlet, all in ruins To its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall God Bring it (ever) to life, After (this) its death?" But God caused him To die for a hundred years, Then raised him up (again). He said: "How long Didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: "(Perhaps) a day Or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried Thus a hundred years; But look at thy food And thy drink; they show No signs of age; and look At thy donkey: and that We may make of thee A Sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, How We bring them together And clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly To him, he said: "I know That God hath power Over all things."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:259Behold! Abraham said: "My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead." He said: "Dost thou not Then believe?" He said: "Yea! but to satisfy My own understanding." He said: "Take four birds; Tame them to turn to thee; Put a portion of them On every hill, and call to them: They will come to thee (Flying) with speed. Then know that God Is Exalted in Power, Wise."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:260Those who devour usury Will not stand except As stands one whom The Evil One by his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," But God hath permitted trade And forbidden usury. Those who after receiving Direction from their Lord, Desist, shall be pardoned For the past; their case Is for God (to judge); But those who repeat (The offence) are Companions Of the Fire: they will Abide therein (for ever).
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:275The Apostle believeth In what hath been revealed To him from his Lord, As do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth In God, His angels, His books, and His apostles. "We make no distinction (they say) Between one and another Of His apostles." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, Our Lord, and to Thee Is the end of all journeys."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:285
