| O People, worship your Nurturer who has created you and those before you | يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُوْا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ | |
| 2-21 | so that you may become pious (God conscious) | لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقٌوْنَ |
| And when you said “O Moses we cannot endure one kind of food | وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَا مُوْسَى لَنْ نَّصْبِرَ عَلَى طَعَامٍ وَاحِدٍ | |
| so, invoke your Lord for us to bring forth for us of what the earth grows | فَادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنْبِتُ الأَرْضُ | |
| of its herbs, its cucumbers, its wheat/garlic, its lentils and its onions” | مِنْ بَقْلِهَا وَ قِثَّآئِهَا وَفَوْمِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَا | |
| He said “Would you exchange that which is lesser with that which is better? | قَالَ أَتَسْتَبْدِلُوْنَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَدْنَى بِالَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ | |
| Go you down to a town and you shall find what you are asking for” | اهْبِطُوْا مِصْرًا فَإِنَّ لَكُمْ مَّا سَأَلْتُمْ | |
| And they were covered with humiliation and misery as they drew on themselves the Wrath of Allah (SWT) | وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ وَالمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَآءُوْا بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللهِ | |
| that due to their disbelieving in the signs of Allah (SWT) | ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا يَكْفُرُوْنَ بِئَايَاتِ اللهِ | |
| and killing the Prophets without right | وَيَقْتُلُوْنَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ بِغَيْرِ الحَقِّ | |
| 2-61 | that was because they disobeyed and were transgressing | ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَّكَانُوْا يَعْتَدُوْنَ |
| They said “Call upon your Lord for us that He may make clear to us what it is” | قَالُوْا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَّنَا مَا هِيَ | |
| He said “Truly He, He says it is certainly a cow not too old nor young but between that | قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَقُوْلُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ ا فَارِضٌ وَلَا بِكْرٌ عَوَانٌ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ | |
| 2-68 | so do what you are commanded | فَافْعَلُوْا مَا تُؤْمَرُوْنَ |
| They said, “Call upon your Lord for us to make clear to us its color?” | قَالُوْا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَّنَا مَا لَوْنُهَا | |
| 2-69 | He said “Truly He, He says it is certainly a yellow cow bright in its color, pleasing the ones who behold” | قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَقُوْلُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ صَفْرَآءُ فَاقِعٌ لَّوْنُهَا تَسُرُّ النَّاظِرِيْنَ |
| They said “Call upon your Lord for us to make clear to us what it is? | قَالُوْا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَّنَا مَا هِيَ | |
| 2-70 | Surely to us all cows are alike and surely if Allah wills, we will be ones who are guided | إِنَّ البَقَرَتَشَابَهَ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنَّآ إِنْ شَآءَ اللهُ لَمُهْتَدُوْنَ |
| And when Ebrahim (AS) was raising the foundations of the House with Ishmael (AS) | وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرَاهِيْمُ القَوَاعِدَ مِنَ البَيْتِ وَإِسْمَاعِيْلُ | |
| 2-127 | “our Lord accept from us, Truly You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower” | رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّآ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيْعُ العَلِيْمُ |
| “our Lord, make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You | رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِنَآ أُمَّةً مُسْلِمَةً لَّكَ | |
| 2-128 | and show us our rites and turn to us, truly You are Oft Returning, Most Merciful” | وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ |
| “our Lord, raise from among them a Messenger who will recite to them Your verses | رَبَّنَا وَابْعَثْ فِيْهِمْ رَسُوْلًا مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَاتِكَ | |
| and teach them the book and wisdom and purify them | وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الكِتَابَ وَالحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيْهِمْ | |
| 2-129 | Truly You, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise | إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ العَزِيْزُ الحَكِيْمُ |
| and when you have completed your sacred rites (worship) | فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمْ مَّنَاسِكَكُمْ | |
| Remember Allah (SWT) like you remember your forefathers or with a much greater remembrance | فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ ءَابَآءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْرًا | |
| and from the people are some who say “our Lord give us in this world” | فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُوْلُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا | |
| 2-200 | so not will he have in the hereafter any share | وَمَا لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ |
| and of them there are some who say “our Lord, give us good in this world | وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ يَقُوْلُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً | |
| 2-201 | and good in the hereafter and protect us from the torment of the fire” | وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ |
| and when emerged to face Jalut and his troops they said (invoked), “our Lord! pour | وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا لِجَالُوْتَ وَجُنُوْدِهِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ | |
| 2-250 | on us patience and make our feet firm and help us against the disbelieving people” | عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى القَوْمِ الكَافِرِيْنَ |
| 2-282 | ||
| and if you are on a journey and you cannot find a scribe then take a pledge | وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ وَلَمْ تَجِدُوا كَاتِبًا فَرِهَانٌ مَّقْبُوْضَةٌ | |
| then if one of you entrust the other let the one who is entrusted discharge his trust | فَإِنْ أَمِنَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا فَلْيُؤَدِّ الَّذِي اؤْتُمِنَ أَمَانَتَهُ | |
| and let him fear Allah (SWT), his Lord and do not conceal the testimony and who conceals it | وَلْيَتَّقِي اللهَ رَبَّهُ وَلَا تَكْتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ وَمَن يَكْتُمْهَا | |
| 2-283 | then indeed, he, his heart is sinful, and Allah (SWT) is All-Knowing over what you do | فَإِنَّهُ ءَاثِمٌ قَلْبُهُ وَاللهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِيْمٌ |
| The messenger believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord and (so do) the believers | ءَامَنَ الرَّسُوْلُ بِمَآ أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالمُؤْمِنُوْنَ | |
| all believe in Allah (SWT) and His angels and His books and His messengers | كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِاللهِ وَمَلَآئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ | |
| “we make no distinction between anyone from His messengers” and they say | لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ وَقَالُوا | |
| 2-285 | “we hear and we obey (we seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord and to You is the return | سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ المَصِيْرُ |
| Allah (SWT) does not burden a soul except its capacity | لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا | |
| for it what it earned and upon it what it earned | لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ | |
| “our Lord! seize us not if we forget or fall into error (miss the mark) | رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِيْنَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا | |
| our Lord! place not a load (burden) upon us | رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا | |
| like what You placed it on those from before us | كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا | |
| our Lord! and place not upon us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear it | رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ | |
| pardon us and forgive us and grant us mercy | وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْلَنَا وَارْحَمْنَآ | |
| 2-286 | You are our Protector so help us over the disbelieving people” | أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى القَوْمِ الكَافِرِيْنَ |
