Verse | ||
And of mankind there are some who say: “We believe in Allah and the last day” | وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُوْلُ ءَامَنَّا بِاللهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ | |
2-8 | but they are not of the believers | وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِيْنَ |
And when We took the covenant of the Children of Israel | وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيْثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَآئِيْلَ | |
Worship none but Allah (SWT) and be excellent to parents | لَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ إِلَّا اللهَ وَبِالوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا | |
and to kindred and to orphans and to the needy and speak excellently to the people | وَذِيْ القُرْبَى وَاليَتَامَى وَالمَسَاكِيْنِ وَقُوْلُوْا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا | |
and establish the prayer and give the obligatory tax | وَأَقِيْمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتُوْا الزَّكَاةَ | |
2-83 | Then you turned away except a few among you and you were refusing | ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مُعْرِضُوْنَ |
Say “If the home of the Hereafter with Allah (SWT) be for you exclusively | قُلْ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكُمُ الدَّارُ الآخِرَةُ عِنْدَ اللهِ خَالِصَةً | |
2-94 | out of all mankind then wish for death if you are truthful” | مِّنْ دُوْنِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا المَوْتَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِيْنَ |
And surely you will find them the greediest of mankind for life greedier than the polytheists | وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَى حَيَاةٍ وَمِنَ الَّذِيْنَ أَشْرَكُوْا | |
Each one of them loves if he could be granted a life of a thousand years | يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ | |
but it will not remove him from the punishment, the grant of such a life | وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَهْزِحِهِ مِنَ العَذَابِ أَنْ يُعَمَّرَ | |
2-96 | and Allah (SWT) is All-Seeing of what they do | وَاللهُ بَصِيْرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ |
When the Lord of Ebrahim (AS) tried him with words which he fulfilled | وَإِذِ ابْتَلَى إِبْرَاهِيْمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ | |
“Verily I will make you a leader for the people” | قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا | |
(Ebrahim AS) said “and from my offspring?” | قَالَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي | |
2-124 | He (Allah SWT) said “My covenant does not reach the wrong-doers” | قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِيْنَ |
And when We made the house a place of return and safety for the people | وَإِذْ جَعَلْنَا البَيْتَ مَثَابَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَمْنًا | |
“Take the place of Ebrahim (AS) as a praying place” | وَاتَّخِذُوْا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ مُصَلَّى | |
and We entrusted Ebrahim (AS) and Ismael (AS) to purify My House for those who circle it | وَعَهِدْنَآ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيْلَ أَنْ طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّآئِفِيْنَ | |
2-125 | who meditate and who bow and prostrate | وَالعَاكِفِيْنَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُوْدِ |
The fools among the people will say | سَيَقُوْلُ السُّفَهَآءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ | |
“What has turned them from their prayer direction which they used to face” | مَا وَلَّاهُمْ عَنْ قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوْا عَلَيْهَا | |
Say “To Allah (SWT) belongs the east and the west | قُلْ لِلَّهِ المَشْرِقُ وَالمَغْرِبُ | |
2-142 | He guides whom He wills to the Straight Path” | يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَآءُ إِلَي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ |
