| 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 وَقَوْمِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَا | |
| He said “Would you exchange for 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 |
| Or do you wish to ask your Messenger as Musa (AS) was asked before | أَمْ تُرِيْدُوْنَ أَنْ تَسْئَلُوْا رَسُوْلَكُمْ كَمَا سُئِلَ مُوْسَى مِنْ قَبْلُ | |
| 2-108 | so, who changes faith for disbelieve has truly strayed from the even way | وَمَنْ يَتَبَدَّلِ الكُفْرَ بِالإِيْمَانِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِيْلِ |
| Verily We have sent you with the truth a bringer of glad tidings and a warner | إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالحَقِّ بَشِيْرًا وَنَذِيْرًا | |
| 2-119 | and you will not be asked about the companions of the blazing fire | وَلَا تُسْئَلُ عَنْ أَصْحَابِ الجَحِيْمِ |
| That was a nation that has passed away, for them is what they earned | تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَت | |
| 2-134 | and for you is what you earned, and you will not be asked of what they used to do | وَلَكُمْ مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ وَلَا تُسْئَلُوْنَ عَمَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ |
| That was a nation which had indeed passed on for them is what they earned | تِلَكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ | |
| and for you is what you earned, and you will not be asked about what they do | وَلَكُمْ مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ وَلَا تُسْئَلُوْنَ عَمَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ | |
| Piety is not that you turn your faces towards east and west | لَيْسَ البِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ قِبَلَ المَشْرِقِ وَالمَغْرِبِ | |
| But piety is one who believes in Allah (SWT) and the Last Day and the Angels | وَلَاكِنَّ البِرَّ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِاللهِ وَاليَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَالمَلَآئِكَةِ | |
| and the Book and the Prophets and gives his wealth in spite of his love of it | وَالكِتَابِ وَالنَّبِيِّنَ وَءَاتِي المَالَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ | |
| to his relatives and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer | ذَوِى القُرْبَى وَاليَتَامَى وَالمَسَاكِيْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيْلِ | |
| and to one’s who ask and in freeing the necks and who establish the prayer and give the tax | وَالسَّآئِلِيْنَ وَفِى الرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتَى الزَّكَاةَ | |
| and who fulfil their covenant when they make it | وَالمُوْفُوْنَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَاهَدُوْا | |
| and the ones who are patient in suffering and hardship and times of stress | وَالصَّابِرِيْنَ فِي البَأْسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَحِيْنَ البَأْسِ | |
| 2-177 | Those are who are true and those, they are Pious | أُوْلَآئِكَ الَّذِيْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَأُوْلَآئِكَ هُمُ المُتَّقُوْنَ |
| and when My slave asks you about me then indeed I am near | وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيْبٌ | |
| I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls me | أُجِيْبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ | |
| 2-186 | so let them respond to Me and believe in Me so that they may be led aright | فَلْيَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوْا بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُوْنَ |
| They ask you about the new moons, say these are indicators of periods for the people | يَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الأَهِلَّةِ قُلْ هِيَ مَوَاقِيْتُ لِلنَّاسِ | |
| and the pilgrimage and it is not piety to enter the houses from the back | وَالحَجِّ وَلَيْسَ البِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوْا البُيُوْتَ مِنْ ظُهُوْرِهَا | |
| but piety is who is God-Conscious (mindful of Allah SWT) | وَلَاكِنَّ البِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقَى | |
| so, enter the houses through their proper doors | وَأْتُوْا البُيُوْتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا | |
| 2-189 | and be mindful of Allah (SWT) so that you may be successful | وَاتَّقٌوْا اللهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ |
| Ask the children of Israel how many a clear sign We gave them | سَلْ بَنِى إِسْرَآئِيْلَ كَمْ ءَاتَيْنَاهُمْ مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ بَيِّنَةٍ | |
| and whoever changes the favor of Allah (SWT) after it came to them | وَمَنْ يُبَدِّلُ نِعْمَةَ اللهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُ | |
| 2-211 | then surely Allah (SWT) is severe in punishment | فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَدِيْدُ العِقَابِ |
