Surah Al-Baqara

وَءَامِنُوا۟بِمَآأَنزَلْتُمُصَدِّقًۭالِّمَامَعَكُمْوَلَاتَكُونُوٓا۟أَوَّلَكَافِرٍۭبِهِۦوَلَاتَشْتَرُوا۟بِـَٔايَٰتِىثَمَنًۭاقَلِيلًۭاوَإِيَّٰىَفَٱتَّقُونِ

Believe in that which I have [now] bestowed from on high, confirming the truth already in your possession, and be not foremost among those who deny its truth; and do not barter away My messages for a trifling gain; and of Me, of Me be conscious

وَلَاتَلْبِسُوا۟ٱلْحَقَّبِٱلْبَٰطِلِوَتَكْتُمُوا۟ٱلْحَقَّوَأَنتُمْتَعْلَمُونَ

And do not overlay the truth with falsehood, and do not knowingly suppress the truth;

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ٱلصَّلَوٰةَوَءَاتُوا۟ٱلزَّكَوٰةَوَٱرْكَعُوا۟مَعَٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ

and be constant in prayer, and spend in charity, and bow down in prayer with all who thus bow down.

أَتَأْمُرُونَٱلنَّاسَبِٱلْبِرِّوَتَنسَوْنَأَنفُسَكُمْوَأَنتُمْتَتْلُونَٱلْكِتَٰبَأَفَلَاتَعْقِلُونَ

Do you bid other people to be pious, the while you forget your own selves -and yet you recite the divine writ? Will you not, then, use your reason?;

وَٱسْتَعِينُوا۟بِٱلصَّبْرِوَٱلصَّلَوٰةِوَإِنَّهَالَكَبِيرَةٌإِلَّاعَلَىٱلْخَٰشِعِينَ

And seek aid in steadfast patience and prayer: and this, indeed, is a hard thing for all but the humble in spirit,

ٱلَّذِينَيَظُنُّونَأَنَّهُممُّلَٰقُوا۟رَبِّهِمْوَأَنَّهُمْإِلَيْهِرَٰجِعُونَ

who know with certainty that they shall meet their Sustainer and that unto Him they shall return.

يَٰبَنِىٓإِسْرَٰٓءِيلَٱذْكُرُوا۟نِعْمَتِىَٱلَّتِىٓأَنْعَمْتُعَلَيْكُمْوَأَنِّىفَضَّلْتُكُمْعَلَىٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

O children of Israel! Remember those blessings of Mine with which I graced you, and how I favoured you above all other people;

وَٱتَّقُوا۟يَوْمًۭالَّاتَجْزِىنَفْسٌعَننَّفْسٍۢشَيْـًۭٔاوَلَايُقْبَلُمِنْهَاشَفَٰعَةٌۭوَلَايُؤْخَذُمِنْهَاعَدْلٌۭوَلَاهُمْيُنصَرُونَ

and remain conscious of [the coming of] a Day when no human being shall in the least avail another, nor shall intercession be accepted from any of them, nor ransom taken from them, and none shall be succoured.

وَإِذْنَجَّيْنَٰكُممِّنْءَالِفِرْعَوْنَيَسُومُونَكُمْسُوٓءَٱلْعَذَابِيُذَبِّحُونَأَبْنَآءَكُمْوَيَسْتَحْيُونَنِسَآءَكُمْوَفِىذَٰلِكُمبَلَآءٌۭمِّنرَّبِّكُمْعَظِيمٌۭ

And [remember the time] when We saved you from Pharaoh's people, who afflicted you with cruel suffering, slaughtering your sons and sparing [only] your women - which was an awesome trial from your Sustainer;

وَإِذْفَرَقْنَابِكُمُٱلْبَحْرَفَأَنجَيْنَٰكُمْوَأَغْرَقْنَآءَالَفِرْعَوْنَوَأَنتُمْتَنظُرُونَ

and when We cleft the sea before you, and thus saved you and caused Pharaoh's people to drown before your very eyes;

وَإِذْوَٰعَدْنَامُوسَىٰٓأَرْبَعِينَلَيْلَةًۭثُمَّٱتَّخَذْتُمُٱلْعِجْلَمِنۢبَعْدِهِۦوَأَنتُمْظَٰلِمُونَ

and when We appointed for Moses forty nights [on Mount Sinai], and in his absence you took to worshipping the [golden] calf, and thus became evildoers:

ثُمَّعَفَوْنَاعَنكُممِّنۢبَعْدِذَٰلِكَلَعَلَّكُمْتَشْكُرُونَ

yet, even after that, We blotted out this your sin, so that you might have cause to be grateful.

وَإِذْءَاتَيْنَامُوسَىٱلْكِتَٰبَوَٱلْفُرْقَانَلَعَلَّكُمْتَهْتَدُونَ

And [remember the time] when We vouchsafed unto Moses the divine writ-and [thus] a standard by which to discern the true from the false -so that you might be guided aright;

وَإِذْقَالَمُوسَىٰلِقَوْمِهِۦيَٰقَوْمِإِنَّكُمْظَلَمْتُمْأَنفُسَكُمبِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُٱلْعِجْلَفَتُوبُوٓا۟إِلَىٰبَارِئِكُمْفَٱقْتُلُوٓا۟أَنفُسَكُمْذَٰلِكُمْخَيْرٌۭلَّكُمْعِندَبَارِئِكُمْفَتَابَعَلَيْكُمْإِنَّهُۥهُوَٱلتَّوَّابُٱلرَّحِيمُ

and when Moses said unto his people: "O my people! Verily, you have sinned against yourselves by worshipping the calf; turn, then. in repentance to your Maker and mortify yourselves; this will be the best for you in your Maker's sight". And thereupon He accepted your repentance: for, behold, He alone is the Acceptor of Repentance, the Dispenser of Grace.

وَإِذْقُلْتُمْيَٰمُوسَىٰلَننُّؤْمِنَلَكَحَتَّىٰنَرَىٱللَّهَجَهْرَةًۭفَأَخَذَتْكُمُٱلصَّٰعِقَةُوَأَنتُمْتَنظُرُونَ

And [remember] when you said, "O Moses. indeed we shall not believe thee unto we see God face to face!" - whereupon the thunderbolt of punishment overtook you before your very eyes.

ثُمَّبَعَثْنَٰكُممِّنۢبَعْدِمَوْتِكُمْلَعَلَّكُمْتَشْكُرُونَ

But We raised you again after you had been as dead, so that you might have cause to be grateful.

وَظَلَّلْنَاعَلَيْكُمُٱلْغَمَامَوَأَنزَلْنَاعَلَيْكُمُٱلْمَنَّوَٱلسَّلْوَىٰكُلُوا۟مِنطَيِّبَٰتِمَارَزَقْنَٰكُمْوَمَاظَلَمُونَاوَلَٰكِنكَانُوٓا۟أَنفُسَهُمْيَظْلِمُونَ

And We caused the clouds to comfort you with their shade, and sent down unto you manna and quails. [saying,] "Partake of the good things which We have provided for you as sustenance." And [by all their sinning] they did no harm unto Us-but [only] against their own selves did they sin.

وَإِذْقُلْنَاٱدْخُلُوا۟هَٰذِهِٱلْقَرْيَةَفَكُلُوا۟مِنْهَاحَيْثُشِئْتُمْرَغَدًۭاوَٱدْخُلُوا۟ٱلْبَابَسُجَّدًۭاوَقُولُوا۟حِطَّةٌۭنَّغْفِرْلَكُمْخَطَٰيَٰكُمْوَسَنَزِيدُٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

And [remember the time] when We said: "Enter this land, and eat of its food as you may desire. abundantly; but enter the gate humbly and say, `Remove Thou from us the burden of our sins', [whereupon] We shall forgive you your sins, and shall amply reward the doers of good."

فَبَدَّلَٱلَّذِينَظَلَمُوا۟قَوْلًاغَيْرَٱلَّذِىقِيلَلَهُمْفَأَنزَلْنَاعَلَىٱلَّذِينَظَلَمُوا۟رِجْزًۭامِّنَٱلسَّمَآءِبِمَاكَانُوا۟يَفْسُقُونَ

But those who were bent on evildoing substituted another saying for that which had been given them: and so We sent down upon those evildoers a plague from heaven in requital for all their iniquity.

وَإِذِٱسْتَسْقَىٰمُوسَىٰلِقَوْمِهِۦفَقُلْنَاٱضْرِببِّعَصَاكَٱلْحَجَرَفَٱنفَجَرَتْمِنْهُٱثْنَتَاعَشْرَةَعَيْنًۭاقَدْعَلِمَكُلُّأُنَاسٍۢمَّشْرَبَهُمْكُلُوا۟وَٱشْرَبُوا۟مِنرِّزْقِٱللَّهِوَلَاتَعْثَوْا۟فِىٱلْأَرْضِمُفْسِدِينَ

And [remember] when Moses prayed for water for his people and We replied, "Strike the rock with thy staff!"-whereupon twelve springs gushed forth from it, so that all the people knew whence to drink. [And Moses said:] "Eat and drink the sustenance provided by God, and do not act wickedly on earth by spreading corruption."
