Al-Baqarah 2:31

God does not shy from drawing comparisons even with something as small as a gnat, or larger: the believers know it is the truth from their Lord, but the disbelievers say, ‘What does God mean by such a comparison?’ Through it He makes many go astray and leads many to the right path. But it is only the rebels He makes go astray

Translation 1260

those who break their covenant with God after it has been confirmed, who sever the bonds that God has commanded to be joined, who spread corruption on the earth- these are the losers

Translation 1260

How can you ignore God when you were lifeless and He gave you life, when He will cause you to die, then resurrect you to be returned to Him

Translation 1260

It was He who created all that is on the earth for you, then turned to the sky and made the seven heavens; it is He who has knowledge of all things

Translation 1260

[Prophet], when your Lord told the angels, ‘I am putting a successor on earth,’ they said, ‘How can You put someone there who will cause damage and bloodshed, when we celebrate Your praise and proclaim Your holiness?’ but He said, ‘I know things you do not.’

He taught Adam all the names [of things], then He showed them to the angels and said, ‘Tell me the names of these if you truly [think you can].’

Translation 1260

They said, ‘May You be glorified! We have knowledge only of what You have taught us. You are the All Knowing and All Wise.’

Translation 1260

Then He said, ‘Adam, tell them the names of these.’ When he told them their names, God said, ‘Did I not tell you that I know what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and that I know what you reveal and what you conceal?’

Translation 1260

When We told the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ they all bowed. But not Iblis, who refused and was arrogant: he was one of the disobedient

Translation 1260

We said, ‘Adam, live with your wife in this garden. Both of you eat freely there as you will, but do not go near this tree, or you will both become wrongdoers.’

Translation 1260

But Satan made them slip, and removed them from the state they were in. We said, ‘Get out, all of you! You are each other’s enemy. On earth you will have a place to stay and livelihood for a time.’

Translation 1260

Then Adam received some words from his Lord and He accepted his repentance: He is the Ever Relenting, the Most Merciful

Translation 1260

We said, ‘Get out, all of you! But when guidance comes from Me, as it certainly will, there will be no fear for those who follow My guidance nor will they grieve

Translation 1260

those who disbelieve and deny Our messages shall be the inhabitants of the Fire, and there they will remain.’

Translation 1260

Children of Israel, remember how I blessed you. Honour your pledge to Me and I will honour My pledge to you: I am the One you should fear

Translation 1260

Believe in the message I have sent down confirming what you already possess. Do not be the first to disbelieve in it, and do not sell My messages for a small price: I am the One of whom you should be mindful

Translation 1260

Do not mix truth with falsehood, or hide the truth when you know it

Translation 1260

Keep up the prayer, pay the prescribed alms, and bow your heads [in worship] with those who bow theirs

Translation 1260

How can you tell people to do what is right and forget to do it yourselves, even though you recite the Scripture? Have you no sense

Translation 1260

Seek help with steadfastness and prayer- though this is hard indeed for anyone but the humble

Translation 1260

who know that they will meet their Lord and that it is to Him they will return

Translation 1260

Children of Israel, remember how I blessed you and favoured you over other people

Translation 1260

Guard yourselves against a Day when no soul will stand in place of another, no intercession will be accepted for it, nor any ransom; nor will they be helped

Translation 1260

Remember when We saved you from Pharaoh’s people, who subjected you to terrible torment, slaughtering your sons and sparing only your women- this was a great trial from your Lord

Translation 1260

and when We parted the sea for you, so saving you and drowning Pharaoh’s people right before your eyes

Translation 1260
