Al-Baqarah 2:158

just as Wehave sent among you a Messenger of your own to recite Our revelations to you, purify you and teach you the Scripture, wisdom, and [other] things you did not know

Translation 1260

So remember Me; I will remember you. Be thankful to Me, and never ungrateful

Translation 1260

You who believe, seek help through steadfastness and prayer, for God is with the steadfast

Translation 1260

Do not say that those who are killed in God’s cause are dead; they are alive, though you do not realize it

Translation 1260

We shall certainly test you with fear and hunger, and loss of property, lives, and crops. But [Prophet], give good news to those who are steadfast

Translation 1260

those who say, when afflicted with a calamity, ‘We belong to God and to Him we shall return.’

Translation 1260

These will be given blessings and mercy from their Lord, and it is they who are rightly guided

Translation 1260

Safa and Marwa are among the rites of God, so for those who make major or minor pilgrimage to the House it is no offence to circulate between the two. Anyone who does good of his own accord will be rewarded, for God rewards good deeds, and knows everything

Translation 1260

As for those who hide the proofs and guidance We send down, after We have made them clear to people in the Scripture, God rejects them, and so do others

Translation 1260

unless they repent, make amends, and declare the truth. I will certainly accept their repentance: I am the Ever Relenting, the Most Merciful

Translation 1260

As for those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers, God rejects them, as do the angels and all people

Translation 1260

They will remain in this state of rejection: their punishment will not be lightened, nor will they be reprieved

Translation 1260

Your God is the one God: there is no god except Him, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

Translation 1260

In the creation of the heavens and earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the seas with goods for people; in the water which God sends down from the sky to give life to the earth when it has been barren, scattering all kinds of creatures over it; in the changing of the winds and clouds that run their appointed courses between the sky and earth: there are signs in all these for those who use their minds

Translation 1260

Even so, there are some who choose to worship others besides God as rivals to Him, loving them with the love due to God, but the believers have greater love for God. If only the idolaters could see- as they will see when they face the torment- that all power belongs to God, and that God punishes severely

Translation 1260

When those who have been followed disown their followers, when they all see the suffering, when all bonds between them are severed

Translation 1260

the followers will say, ‘If only we had one last chance, we would disown them as they now disown us.’ In this way, God will make them see their deeds as a source of bitter regret: they shall not leave the Fire

Translation 1260

People, eat what is good and lawful from the earth, and do not follow Satan’s footsteps, for he is your sworn enemy

Translation 1260

He always commands you to do what is evil and indecent, and to say things about God that you do not really know

Translation 1260

But when it is said to them, ‘Follow the message that God has sent down,’ they answer, ‘We follow the ways of our fathers.’ What! Even though their fathers understood nothing and were not guided

Translation 1260

Calling to disbelieversis like a herdsman calling to things that hear nothing but a shout and a cry: they are deaf, dumb, and blind, and they understand nothing

Translation 1260

You who believe, eat the good things We have provided for you and be grateful to God, if it is Him that you worship

Translation 1260

He has only forbidden you carrion, blood, pig’s meat, and animals over which any name other than God’s has been invoked. But if anyone is forced to eat such things by hunger, rather than desire or excess, he commits no sin: God is most merciful and forgiving

Translation 1260

As for those who conceal the Scripture that God sent down and sell it for a small price, they only fill their bellies with Fire. God will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them: an agonizing torment awaits them

Translation 1260

These are the ones who exchange guidance for error, and forgiveness for torment. What can make them patient in the face of the Fire

Translation 1260
