Verses with وابل

Verses 1–2 of 2

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity By reminders of your generosity Or by injury,—like those Who spend their substance To be seen of men, But believe neither In God nor in the Last Day. They are in Parable like a hard, Barren rock, on which Is a little soil: on it Falls heavy rain, Which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing With aught they have earned. And God guideth not Those who reject faith.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:264
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    And the likeness of those Who spend their substance, Seeking to please God And to strengthen their souls, Is as a garden, high And fertile: heavy rain Falls on it but makes it yield A double increase Of harvest, and if it receives not Heavy rain, light moisture Sufficeth it. God seeth well Whatever ye do.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:265
