| Verse | ||
| So, seek help in patience and prayer, truly it is extremely difficult | وَاسْتَعِيْنُوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيْرَةٌ | |
| 2-45 | except for the Al-Khashiin | إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِيْنَ |
| 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 |
| O you who believe, Seek help through patience and prayer | يَآ أَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوْا اسْتَعِيْنُوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ | |
| 2-153 | Truly Allah (SWT) is with the patient | إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِيْنَ |
| And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear and hunger | وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الخَوْفِ وَالجُوْعِ | |
| and loss of wealth and lives and fruits | وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الأَمْوَالِ وَالأَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ | |
| 2-155 | so, give glad tidings to the patient | وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِيْنَ |
