1-2Every form of praise and thanks belongs to Allah, Nurturer of all that existsالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ
And when it is said to them “Believe as the people believed” they say, “Shall we believe as the fools believed?”وَإِذَ قِيْلَ لَهُمْ ءَامِنُوْا كَمَا ءَامَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُوْا أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَا ءَامَنَ السُّفَهَاءُ
2-13Truly they are the fools, but they do not know itأَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَاءُ وَلَاكِنْ لَّا يَعْلَمُوْنَ
Who has made the earth a resting place for you and the sky a canopy and sent down water from the skyالَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرْضَ فِرَاشًا وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً وَأَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً
2-22and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you then do not set up rivals unto Allah while you knowفَأَخْرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوْا لِلَّهِ أَنْدَادًا وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ
Verily Allah is not averse to set forth a parable of a gnat or what is more than it and as for those who believeإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا بَعُوْضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَأَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ
believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord however as for those who disbelieve they say,ءَامَنُوْا فَيَعْلَمُوْنَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَأَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَيَقُوْلُوْنَ
“What did Allah intend by this parable?” By it He misleads many and by it He guides manyمَاذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِهَاذَا مَثَلًا يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيْرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيْرًا
2-26and He does not mislead by it but the rebellious وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلَّا الْفَاسِقِيْنَ
He it is Who created for you all that is on earth, then He established the heaven and proportioned themهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ
2-29and proportioned them into seven heavens, He is All Knowing over everythingفَسَوَّاهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَوَاتٍ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ
And when your Lord said to the angels “Verily I am going to place a vicegerent on earth,”وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الأَرْضِ خَلِيْفَةً
they said “will you place in it one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?قَالُوْا أَتَجْعَلُ فِيْهَا مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيْهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الْدِّمَآءَ
2-30while we glorify You with praises and sanctify You” He said “Truly I know that which you do not know”وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ
And He (SWT) taught Adam (AS) all the names, then He (SWT) showed them to the angels and said,وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى المَلَآئِكَةِ فَقَالَ
2-31“Tell me the names of these if you are truthful”أَنْبِئُوْنِي بِأَسْمَآءِ هَآؤُلَآءِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِيْنَ
They said ‘Glory be to You (SWT), we have no knowledge except what You (SWT) have taught usقَالُوْا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا
2-32Truly it is You (SWT), You (SWT) are the All-Knowing, the All-Wiseإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ العَلِيْمُ الحَكِيْمُ
He (SWT) said “O Adam! Inform them of their names” and when he had informed them of their names,قَالَ يَا ءَادَمُ أَنْبِئْهُمْ بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ فَلَمَّآ أَنْبَأَهُمْ بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ
He (SWT) said, “Did I not tell you that I know the unseen in the heavens and the earth قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ
2-33and I know what you reveal and conceal?” وَأَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُوْنَ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْتُمُوْنَ

2-127“Our Lord accept from us, Truly You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower”رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّآ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيْعُ العَلِيْمُ

So, if they believe in the like of what you believe then indeed, they are guidedفَإِنْ ءَامَنُوْا بِمِثْلِ مَآ ءَامَنْتُمْ بِهِ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوْا
but if they turn away then they are only in dissensionوَّإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّمَا هُمْ فِى شِقَاقٍ

perhaps Allah SWT will bring them all back to meعَسَى اللهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِي بِهِم جَمِيْعًا
12-83indeed He, He is the All Knowing, the All Wiseإِنَّهُ هُوَ العَلِيْمُ الحَكِيْمُ
and he raised his parents upon the throne and they bowed to him in prostrationوَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَخَرُّواْ لَهُ سُجَّدًا
and he said, “O my father this is the fulfilment of my vision of beforeوَقَالَ يَا أَبَتِ هَذَا تَأْوِيْلُ رُءْيَايَ مِن قَبْلُ
indeed my Lord has has made it true and has favored meقَد جَعَلَهَا رَبِّي حَقًّا وَقَد أَحْسَنَ بِي
when He removed me from the prison and brought you all from the desertإِذْ أَخْرَجْنِي مِنَ السِّجْنِ وَجَآءَ بِكُم مِّنَ البَدْوِ
after Satan sowed discord between me and my brothersمِن بَعْدِ أَن نَّزَغَ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ إَخْوَتِي
