Surah 2. Al-Baqarah
(some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is
greater than their benefit." And they ask you
what they ought to spend. Say: "That which is
beyond your needs." Thus Allâh makes clear
to you His Laws in order that you may give
thought[1] ."
220. In (to) this worldly life and in the
Hereafter. And they ask you concerning
orphans. Say: "The best thing is to work
honestly in their property, and if you mix
your affairs with theirs, then they are your
brothers. And Allâh knows him who means
mischief (e.g. to swallow their property) from
him who means good (e.g. to save their
property). And if Allâh had wished, He could
have put you into difficulties. Truly, Allâh is
All-Mighty, All-Wise."
221. And do not marry Al-Mushrikât
(idolatresses, etc.) till they believe (worship
Allâh Alone). And indeed a slave woman
who believes is better than a (free)
Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she
pleases you. And give not (your daughters)
أَكْبَرُ مِن نَّفْعِهِمًا وَيَسْتَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنفِقُونَ
قُلِ الْعَفْوُّ كَذَلِكَ يُبَِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ اَلَيَتِ
لَعَلَّكُمْ تَنَفَكَّرُونَ
فِي الدُّنْيَا وَاُلْآَخِرَةُ وَيَسْتَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَمِىّ
قُلْ إِصْلَاحٌلَهُمْ خَيْرٌ وَإِن تُّخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَتُكُمَّ
وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِّحْ
وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللهُ لَأَعْنَتَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

وَلَا تَنْكِحُواْ الْمُشْرِكَتِ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَّ وَلَأَمَةٌ
مُؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن مُشْرِكَةٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ

b) Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضى الله عنهما :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
"Whoever drinks alcoholic drinks in this world and does not repent (i.e. stops
drinking alcoholic drinks, and begs Allah to forgive him before his death) will be
deprived of it in the Hereafter." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.7, Hadîth No.481).
c) Narrated Anas رضى الله عنه :| heard from Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم a
صلى الله عليه وسلم narration which none other than I will narrate to you. The Prophet
said, "From among the portents of the Hour are the following: General ignorance
(in religious affairs) will prevail, (religious) knowledge will decrease, illegal sexual
intercourse will prevail, alcoholic drinks will be drunk (in abundance), men will
decrease and women will increase so much so that for every fifty women there will
be one man to look after them." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 7, Hadîth No. 483)
d) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "An
adulterer-fornicator, at the time he is committing illegal sexual intercourse is not a
believer; and a person, at the time of drinking an alcoholic drink is not a believer;
and a thief, at the time of stealing, is not a believer."
Ibn Shihab said: 'Abdul Malik bin Abî-Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin
Hisham told me that Abu Bakr used to narrate that narration to him on the authority
of Abu Hurairah. He used to add that Abu Bakr used to mention, besides the above
cases: "And he who robs (takes illegally something by force) while the people are
looking at him, is not a believer at the time he is robbing (taking it)." (Sahih Al-
Bukhari, Vol.7, Hadîth No. 484).
[1]
(V.2:219) The provision of this Verse concerning alcoholic drinks and gambling
has been abrogated by the Verse 5:90.

in marriage to Al-Mushrikun 1 till they
believe (in Allâh Alone) and verily, a
believing slave is better than a (free)
Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases
you. Those (Al-Mushrikûn) invite you to the
Fire, but Allâh invites (you) to Paradise and
Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that
they may remember.
222. They
ask
you concerning
menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a
harmful thing for a husband to have a sexual
intercourse with his wife while she is having
her menses), therefore keep away from
women during menses and go not unto them
till they are purified (from menses and have
taken a bath). And when they have purified
themselves, then go in unto them as Allâh
has ordained for you (go in unto them in any
manner as long as it is in their vagina).
Truly, Allâh loves those who turn unto Him
in repentance and loves those who purify
themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning
and washing thoroughly their private parts,
bodies, for their prayers).
223. Your wives are a tilth for you, so go
to your tilth12, when' or how you will, and
send (good deeds, or ask Allâh to bestow
upon you pious offspring) for your
ownselves beforehand. And fear Allâh, and
know that you are to meet Him (in the
Hereafter), and give good tidings to the
.(صلى الله عليه وسلم believers (O Muhammad
224. And make not Allâh's (Name) an
excuse in your oaths against your doing good
and acting piously, and making peace among
mankind. And Allâh is All-Hearer, All-
Knower (i.e. do not swear much and if you

(V.2:221) Al-Mushrikûn: polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the
. صلى الله عليه وسلم Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad
[2] (V.2:223): have sexual relations with your wives in any manner as long as it is in the
vagina and not in the anus.

وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
have sworn against doing something good
then give an expiation for the oath and do
good)111.
225. Allâh will not call you to account for
that which is unintentional in your oaths, but
He will call you to account for that which
your hearts have earned. And Allâh is Oft-
Forgiving, Most-Forbearing.
226. Those who take an oath12 not to have
sexual relation with their wives must wait for
four months, then if they return (change their
idea in this period), verily, Allâh is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful.
227. And if they decide upon divorce,
then Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
228. And divorced women shall wait (as
regards their marriage) for three menstrual
periods, and it is not lawful for them to
conceal what Allâh has created in their
wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last
Day. And their husbands have the better right
to take them back in that period, if they wish
for reconciliation. And they (women) have
rights (over their husbands as regards living
expenses) similar (to those of their husbands)
over them (as regards obedience and respect)
to what is reasonable, but men have a degree
(of responsibility) over them. And Allâh is
All-Mighty, All-Wise.
229. The divorce is twice, after that, either
you retain her on reasonable terms or release
her with kindness. And it is not lawful for you

(V. 2:226) Narrated Nafi': Ibn 'Umar used to say about Al-'Îla' (>yı) * which Allâh
defined (in the Holy Book), "If the period of Al-'Î la' (.>yı) expires, then the husband
has either to retain his wife in a handsome manner or to divorce her as Allah [, ;
J] has ordered." Ibn 'Umar added, "When the period of four months has expired,
the husband should divorce his wife, but the divorce does not occur unless the
husband himself declares it. This has been mentioned by 'Uthman, 'Alî, Abu Ad-
" صلى الله عليه وسلم Darda', 'Aishah and twelve other Companions of the Prophet
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.7, Hadîth No. 213).
* Al-'Îla' (>yı): means the oath taken by a husband that he would not approach his
wife for a certain period.

وَإِذَا طَلَقْتُمُ الْنِسَآءَ فَبَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَ

اُللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَا أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْكِنَبِ
(men) to take back (from your wives) any of
your Mahr (bridal-money given by the
husband to his wife at the time of marriage)
which you have given them, except when
both parties fear that they would be unable to
keep the limits ordained by Allâh (e.g. to deal
with each other on a fair basis). Then if you
fear that they would not be able to keep the
limits ordained by Allâh, then there is no sin
on either of them if she gives back (the Mahr
or a part of it) for her Al-Khul' (divorce) 11.
These are the limits ordained by Allâh, so do
not transgress
them.
And whoever
transgresses the limits ordained by Allâh, then
such are the Zâlimun (wrong-doers).
230. And if he has divorced her (the third
time), then she is not lawful unto him
thereafter until she has married another
husband. Then, if the other husband divorces
her, it is no sin on both of them that they
reunite, provided they feel that they can keep
the limits ordained by Allâh. These are the
limits of Allâh, which He makes plain for the
people who have knowledge.
231. And when you have divorced women
and they have fulfilled the term of their
prescribed period, either take them back on
reasonable basis or set them free on
reasonable basis. But do not take them back
to hurt them, and whoever does that, then he
has wronged himself. And treat not the
Verses (Laws) of Allâh as a jest, but
remember Allâh's Favours on you (i.e.
Islâm), and that which He has sent down to
[1] (V.2:229) Al-Khul" diJi and how a divorce is given according to it.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas رضى الله عنهما: The wife of Thabit bin Qais came to the
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "O Allah's Messenger! I do not blame Thabit for
defects in his character or his religion, but I, being a Muslim, dislike to behave in
صلى الله عليه an un-Islamic manner (if I remain with him)." On that Allah's Messenger
, said (to her), "Will you give back the garden which your husband has given you
(as Mahr)?" She said, "Yes." Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to Thabit, "0
Thabit! Accept your garden, and divorce her once." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.7,
Hadîth No.197).
* 'Al-Khul' JEJI means the parting of a wife from her husband by giving him a
certain compensation.

you of the Book (i.e. the Qur'an) and Al-
Hikmah (the Prophet's Sunnah - legal ways
-
-
Islamic jurisprudence) whereby He
instructs you. And fear Allâh, and know that
Allâh is All-Aware of everything.
232. And when you have divorced women
and they have fulfilled the term of their
prescribed period, do not prevent them from
marrying their (former) husbands, if they
mutually agree on reasonable basis. This
(instruction) is an admonition for him among
you who believes in Allah and the Last Day.
That is more virtuous and purer for you.
Allâh knows and you know not.
233. The mothers shall give suck to their
children for two whole years, (that is) for
those (parents) who desire to complete the
term of suckling, but the father of the child
shall bear the cost of the mother's food and
clothing on a reasonable basis. No person
shall have a burden laid on him greater than
he can bear. No mother shall be treated
unfairly on account of her child, nor father on
account of his child. And on the (father's)
heir is incumbent the like of that (which was
incumbent on the father). If they both decide
on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due
consultation, there is no sin on them. And if
you decide on a foster suckling-mother for
your children, there is no sin on you,
provided you pay (the mother) what you
agreed (to give her) on reasonable basis. And
fear Allah and know that Allah is All-Seer of
what you do.
234. And those of you who die and leave
wives behind them, they (the wives) shall wait
(as regards
their
marriage) for four
months and ten days, then when they have
fulfilled their term, there is no sin on you if
they (the wives) dispose of themselves in a
just and honourable manner (i.e. they can
marry). And Allâh is Well-Acquainted with
what you do.
235. And there is no sin on you if you
make a hint of betrothal or conceal it in

yourself, Allâh knows that you will remember
them, but do not make a promise of contract
with them in secret except that you speak an
honourable saying according to the Islamic
law."" And do not consummate the marriage
until the term prescribed is fulfilled. And
know that Allâh knows what is in your minds,
so fear Him. And know that Allâh is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
236. There is no sin on you, if you divorce
women while yet you have not touched (had
sexual relation with) them, nor appointed
unto them their Mahr (bridal-money given by
the husband to his wife at the time of
marriage). But bestow on them (a suitable
gift), the rich according to his means, and the
poor according to his means, a gift of
reasonable amount is a duty on the doers of
good.
237. And if you divorce them before you
have touched (had a sexual relation with)
them, and you have appointed unto them the
Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to
his wife at the time of marriage), then pay
half of that (Mahr), unless they (the women)
agree to forego it, or he (the husband), in
whose hands is the marriage tie, agrees to
forego and give her full appointed Mahr. And
to forego and give (her the full Mahr) is
nearer to At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness).
And do not forget liberality between
yourselves. Truly, Allâh is All-Seer of what
you do.
238. Guard
strictly (five obligatory)
As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the
middle Salât (i.e. the best prayer - 'Asr)12.

And stand before Allâh with obedience [and
do not speak to others during the Salât
(prayers)].
239. And if you fear (an enemy), perfrom
Salât (pray) on foot or riding". And when
you are in safety, offer the Salât (prayer) in
the manner He has taught you, which you
knew not (before).
240. And those of you who die and leave
behind wives should bequeath for their wives
a year's maintenance and residence without
turning them out, but if they (wives) leave,
there is no sin on you for that which they do
of themselves, provided it is honourable (e.g.
lawful marriage). And Allâh is All-Mighty,
All-Wise[1]
241. And
for
divorced
women,
maintenance
(should be provided) on
reasonable (scale). This is a duty on Al-
Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2).
242. Thus Allah makes clear His Ayat
(Laws) to you, in order that you may
understand.
243. Did
you
(O
Muhammad
not think of those who went (صلى الله عليه وسلم
forth from their homes in thousands,
fearing death? Allâh said to them, "Die".
Narrated Abu Al-Malîh: We were with Buraidah in a battle on a cloudy day and he
said, "Offer the 'Asr prayer early as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Whoever
omits the 'Asr prayer, all his (good) deeds will be lost." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1,
Hadîth No.528).
* i.e. The one who omits (does not offer) the 'Asr prayer intentionally until its stated
time is over and if he prays after that time, then it is useless.

(V.2:239) Narrated Salih Khawwat or Sahl bin Abî Hathmah concerning those
who witnessed the Fear Prayer that was performed in the battle of Dhat-ur-Riga' in
the company of Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم:One batch lined up behind him
while another batch (lined up) facing the enemy. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم led the
batch that was with him in one Rak'ah, and he stayed in the standing posture while
that batch completed their (two Rak'at) prayer by themselves and went away, lining
in the face of the enemy, while the other batch came and he (i.e. the Prophet .
, we wl ) offered his remaining Rak'ah with them, and then, kept on sitting till
they completed their prayer by themselves, and he then finished his prayer with
Taslîm along with them. [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 5, Hadîth No. 451].

And then He restored them to life. Truly,
Allâh is full of bounty to mankind, but
most men thank not.
244. And fight in the Way of Allâh and
know that Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
245. Who is he that will lend to Allâh a
goodly loan so that He may multiply it to
him many times? And it is Allâh that
decreases or increases (your provisions),
and unto Him you shall return.
246. Have you not thought about the
group of the Children of Israel after (the
time of) Mûsâ (Moses)? When they said to
a Prophet of theirs, "Appoint for us a king
and we will fight in Allah's Way." He said,
"Would you then refrain from fighting, if
fighting was prescribed for you?" They
said, "Why should we not fight in Allah's
Way while we have been driven out of our
homes and our children (families have been
taken as captives)?" But when fighting was
ordered for them, they turned away, all
except a few of them. And Allâh is All-
Aware of the Zâlimun (polytheists and
wrong-doers).
(عليه السلام And their Prophet (Samuel .247
said to them, "Indeed Allâh has appointed
Tâlût (Saul) as a king over you." They
said, "How can he be a king over us when
we are fitter than him for the kingdom, and
he has not been given enough wealth." He
said: "Verily, Allâh has chosen him above
you and has increased him abundantly in
knowledge and stature. And Allâh grants
His kingdom to whom He wills. And Allâh
is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs,
All-Knower."

said to them: Verily! The sign of His
kingdom is that there shall come to you At-

Tâbût (a wooden box), wherein is Sakînah
(peace and reassurance) from your Lord and
a remnant of that which Mûsâ (Moses) and
Hârûn (Aaron) left behind, carried by the
angels. Verily, in this is a sign for you if you
are indeed believers.
249. Then when Tâlût (Saul) set out with
the army, he said: "Verily! Allah will try
you by a river. So whoever drinks thereof,
he is not of me, and whoever tastes it not, he
is of me, except him who takes (thereof) in
the hollow of his hand." Yet, they drank
thereof, all, except a few of them. So when
he had crossed it (the river), he and those
who believed with him, they said: "We have
no power this day against Jalût (Goliath)
and his hosts." But those who knew with
certainty that they were going to meet Allâh,
said: "How often a small group overcame a
mighty host by Allâh's Leave?" And Allâh
is with As-Sâbirûn (the patient ).
250. And when they advanced to meet
Jâlût (Goliath) and his forces, they invoked:
"Our Lord! Pour forth on us patience, and
set firm our feet and make us victorious over
the disbelieving people."
251. So they routed them by Allah's
Leave and Dawud (David) killed Jâlût
(Goliath), and Allâh gave him [Dawud
(David)] the kingdom [after the death of
Tâlût (Saul) and Samuel] and Al-Hikmah
(Prophethood)121, and taught him of that
which He willed. And if Allâh did not
check one set of people by means of
another, the earth would indeed be full of

(V. 2:248) Narrated Al-Bara': A man was reciting Surah Al-Kahf and his horse
was tied with two ropes beside him. A cloud came down and spread over that man,
and it kept on coming closer and closer to him till his horse started jumping (as if
afraid of something). When it was morning, the man came to the Prophet & 1 .
said, "That was صلى الله عليه وسلم and told him of that experience. The Prophet عليه وسلم
'As-Sakînah (tranquillity or peace and reassurance along with angels), which
descended because of (the recitation of) the Qur'an." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6,

A. Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah رضى الله عنهما :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I have
been given five (things) which were not given to any one else before me:
a) Allâh made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of
one month's journey.
b) The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a
thing to purify (perform Tayammum), therefore anyone of my followers can pray
wherever he is, at the time of prayer.
c) The booty has been made Halal (lawful) to me yet it was not lawful to anyone else
before me.
d) I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection).
e) Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only, but I have been sent to all mankind."
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, Hadîth No.331).
B. Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "My
similitude in comparison with the other Prophets before me is that of a man who has
built a house nicely and beautifully, except for a place of one brick in a corner. The
people go round about it and wonder at its beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put
in its place!' So I am that brick, and I am the last (end) of the Prophets." (Sahih Al-
Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadîth No. 735).
C. Narrated Ibn Mas'ud رضى الله عنه :As if I saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم talking about
one of the Prophets whose nation had beaten him and caused him to bleed, while he
was cleaning the blood off his face and saying, "O Allah! Forgive my nation, for they
have no knowledge." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 683).
D. Narrated 'Aishah رضى الله عنها and Ibn 'Abbas رضى الله عنهما:On his death-bed, Allah's
Messenger , Le al.1. put a sheet over his face and when he felt hot, he would
remove it from his face. When in that state (of putting and removing the sheet) he said,
"May Allah's Curse be on the Jews and the Christians for they built places of worship at
the graves of their Prophets." (By that) he intended to warn (the Muslims) from what they
(i.e., Jews and Christians) had done. (Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 660).
E. Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The Israelis used
to be ruled and guided by Prophets. Whenever a Prophet died, another would take over
his place. There will be no Prophet after me, but there will be caliphs who will increase in
number." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger! What do you order us (to do)?" He
said, "Obey the one who will be given the Bai'a - pledge first .* Fulfil their (i.e., the
caliphs') rights, for Allâh will ask them about (any shortcomings in) ruling those whom
Allâh has put under their guardianship." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 661).
* If the Bai'a (pledge) is given to a caliph and after a while another caliph is given the
Bai'a (pledge) by some members of the society, the common Muslims should abide by
the Bai'a (pledge) given to the first caliph, for the election of the second is invalid.

253. Those Messengers! We preferred
some of them to others; to some of them
Allâh spoke (directly); others He raised to
degrees (of honour); and to 'Îsâ (Jesus), the
son of Maryam (Mary), We gave clear proofs
and evidences, and supported him with Rûh-
ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. If Allâh had
willed, succeeding generations would not
have fought against each other, after clear
Verses of Allâh had come to them, but they
differed - some of them believed and others
disbelieved. If Allâh had willed, they would
not have fought against one another, but
Allâh does what He likes.
254. O you who believe! Spend of that
with which We have provided for you, before
a Day comes when there will be no
bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession.
And it is the disbelievers who are the Zâlimun
(wrong-doers).
255. Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has
the right to be worshipped but He), Al-
Hayyul-Qayyuum (the Ever Living, the One
Who sustains and protects all that exists).
Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To
Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can
intercede with Him except with His
Permission? He knows what happens to them
(His creatures) in this world, and what will
happen to them in the Hereafter. And they
will never compass anything of His
Knowledge except that which He wills. His

(V. 2:255). Kursî: literally a footstool or chair, and sometimes wrongly translated as
Throne. The Kursî mentioned in this Verse should be distinguished from the 'Arsh (Throne)
mentioned in V. 7:54, 10:3, 85:15 and elsewhere. Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
"The Kursî compared to the 'Arsh is nothing but like a ring thrown out upon open space of
the desert." If the Kursî extends over the entire universe, then how much greater is the
'Arsh. Indeed Allah, the Creator of both the Kursi and the 'Arsh, is the Most Great. Ibn
Taimiyah said:
a) To believe in the Kursî.
b) To believe in the 'Arsh (Throne). It is narrated from Muhammad bin 'Abdullah and from
other religious scholars that the Kursî is in front of the 'Arsh (Throne) and it is at the level of
the Feet. [Fatawa Ibn Taimiyah, Vol.5, Pages 54,55]

256. There is no compulsion in religion.
Verily, the Right Path has become distinct
from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in
Tâghût1 and believes in Allâh, then he has
grasped the most trustworthy handhold that
will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer,
All-Knower.
257. Allah is the Walî (Protector or
Guardian) of those who believe. He brings
them out from darkness into light. But as for
those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters
and helpers) are Tâghût [false deities and
false leaders], they bring them out from light
into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the
Fire, and they will abide therein forever. (See
V.2:81,82)
258. Have you not looked at him who
disputed with Ibrâhîm (Abraham) about his
Lord (Allâh), because Allâh had given him
the kingdom? When Ibrâhîm (Abraham) said
(to him): "My Lord (Allâh) is He Who gives
life and causes death." He said, "I give life
and cause death." Ibrâhîm (Abraham) said,
"Verily! Allâh brings the sun from the east;
then bring it you from the west." So the
disbeliever was
utterly defeated. And
foodstuff. I caught him and said, "I will take you to Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم !" Then
Abu Hurairah described the whole narration and said: That person said (to me), "(Please
don't take me to Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and I will tell you a few words by which
Allâh will benefit you). When you go to your bed, recite Ayat -ul-Kursî, (2:255) for then there
will be a guard from Allah who will protect you all night long, and Satan will not be able to
come near you till dawn." (When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم heard the story) he said (to me),
"He (who came to you at night) told you the truth although he is a liar; and it was Satan."
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.530).

(V.2:256) الطاغوت هو كل ما عبد من دون اللّه إلا من لم يرض بعبادته فلا يعتبر طاغوتا The word
Taghût covers a wide range of meanings: It means anything worshipped other than the
Real God (Allah),but the one who does not accept to be worshipped will not be considered
as a Taghût, i.e. all the false deities. It may be Satan, devils, idols, stones, sun, stars,
angels, human beings, who were falsely worshipped and taken as Taghûts. Likewise saints,
graves, rulers, leaders, etc., are falsely worshipped and wrongly followed. Sometimes
"Tâghût" means a false judge who gives a false judgement (see V.4:60). [See Tafsir Ibn
Kathir, and (V.4:51)].

وَلَآَ خَوْفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Allâh guides not the people, who are Zâlimun
(wrong-doers).
259. Or like the one who passed by a town
and it had tumbled over its roofs. He said:
"Oh! How will Allâh ever bring it to life after
its death?" So Allâh caused him to die for a
hundred years, then raised him up (again). He
said: "How long did you remain (dead)?" He
(the man) said: "(Perhaps) I remained (dead)
a day or part of a day". He said: "Nay, you
have remained (dead) for a hundred years,
look at your food and your drink, they show
no change; and look at your donkey! And
thus We have made of you a sign for the
people. Look at the bones, how We bring
them together and clothe them with flesh".
When this was clearly shown to him, he said,
"I know (now) that Allâh is Able to do all
things."
260. And (remember) when Ibrâhîm
(Abraham) said, "My Lord! Show me how
You give life to the dead." He (Allâh) said:
"Do you not believe?" He [Ibrâhîm
(Abraham)] said: "Yes (I believe), but to be
stronger in Faith." He said: "Take four birds,
then cause them to incline towards you (then
slaughter them, cut them into pieces), and
then put a portion of them on every hill, and
call them, they will come to you in haste. And
know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise."
261. The likeness of those who spend
their wealth in the way of Allah, is as the
likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven
ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allâh
gives manifold increase to whom He wills.
And Allâh is All-Sufficient for His creatures'
needs, All-Knower.
262. Those who spend their wealth in the
Cause of Allâh, and do not follow up their
gifts with reminders of their generosity or
with injury, their reward is with their Lord.
On them shall be no fear, nor shall they
grieve.

263. Kind words and forgiving of faults
are better than Sadaqah (charity) followed by
injury. And Allâh is Rich (Free of all needs)
and He is Most-Forbearing.
264. O you who believe! Do not render in
vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of
your generosity or by injury, like him who
spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he
does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day.
His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock
on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain
which leaves it bare. They are not able to do
anything with what they have earned. And
Allâh does not guide the disbelieving people.
265. And the likeness of those who spend
their wealth seeking Allah's Pleasure while
they in their ownselves are sure and certain
that Allâh will reward them (for their
spending in His Cause), is the likeness of a
garden on a height; heavy rain falls on it and
it doubles its yield of harvest. And if it does
not receive heavy rain, light rain suffices it.
And Allah is All-Seer (knows well) of what
you do.
266. Would any of you wish to have a
garden with date-palms and vines, with rivers
flowing underneath, and all kinds of fruits for
him therein, while he is striken with old age,
and his children are weak (not able to look
after themselves), then it is struck with a fiery
whirlwind, so that it is burnt? Thus does
Allâh make clear His Ayât (proofs, evidences,
verses) to you that you may give thought[11.
267. O you who believe! Spend of the
good things which you have (legally) earned,
and of that which We have produced from the
earth for you, and do not aim at that which is
bad to spend from it, (though) you would not
accept it save if you close your eyes and
[1]
(V.2:266) 'Umar رضى الله عنه said, "This is an example for a rich man who does good
deeds out of obedience to Allah, and then Allah sends him Satan whereupon he commits
sins till all his good deeds are lost." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No. 62).

tolerate therein. And know that Allâh is Rich
(Free of all needs), and Worthy of all praise.
268. Shaitân (Satan) threatens you with
poverty and orders you to commit Fahshâ
(evil deeds, illegal sexual intercourse, sins);
whereas Allâh promises you Forgiveness
from Himself and Bounty, and Allâh is All-
Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-
Knower.
269. He grants Hikmahl1
to whom He
pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted,
is indeed granted abundant good. But none
remember (will receive admonition) except
men of understanding.
270. And whatever you spend for
spendings (e.g., in Sadaqah - charity for
Allâh's Cause) or whatever vow you make, be
sure Allâh knows it all. And for the Zâlimun
(wrong-doers) there are no helpers.
271. If you disclose your Sadaqat (alms-
giving), it is well; but if you conceal them and
give them to the poor, that is better for you.
(Allâh) will expiate you some of your sins.
And Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what you
do.
صلى اللّه Not upon you (Muhammad .272
is their guidance, but Allah guides (عليه وسلم
whom He wills. And whatever you spend in
good, it is for yourselves, when you spend not
except seeking Allâh's Countenance. And
whatever you spend in good, it will be repaid
to you in full, and you shall not be wronged.
273. (Charity is) for Fugarâ (the poor),
who in Allah's Cause are restricted (from
travel), and cannot move about in the land
(for trade or work). The one who knows them
not, thinks that they are rich because of their
modesty. You may know them by their mark,
[1]
(V.2:269) Hikmah: literally means wisdom, but it means here the knowledge, and the
understanding of the Qur'an, and the Sunnah and one's ability to speak and act in the
correct and right way.

they do not beg of people at all. 1 And
whatever you spend in good, surely, Allâh
knows it well.
274. Those who spend their wealth (in
Allâh's Cause) by night and day, in secret and
in public, they shall have their reward with
their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall
they grieve. [2]
275. Those who eat Ribal3 (usury) will
not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except
like the standing of a person beaten by
Shaitân (Satan) leading him to insanity. That
is because they say: "Trading is only like
Ribâ (usury)," whereas Allâh has permitted
trading and forbidden Ribâ (usury). So
whosoever receives an admonition from his
Lord and stops eating Ribâ (usury) shall not
be punished for the past; his case is for Allâh
(to judge); but whoever returns [to Ribâ
(usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire -
they will abide therein.

(V.2:273) The Arabic word Ilhafa literally means: "to beg with importunity," but Imâm
Tabari in his Tafsir and the majority of the religious scholars agree that the Verse means:
"They do not beg of people at all."

(V.2:274) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Seven
people will be shaded by Allah under His Shade on the Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
when there will be no shade except His. They are:
a) a just ruler;
b) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allâh, [i.e.worships Allâh
(Alone) sincerely from his childhood];
c) a man whose heart is attached to the mosques (who offers the five compulsory
congregational prayers in the mosques);
d) two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake, and they meet and part in Allah's
Cause only;
e) a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illegal sexual
intercourse with her and says: I fear Allâh;
f) a person who practises charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right
hand has given (i.e., nobody knows how much he has given in charity).
g) a person who remembers Allâh in seclusion and his eyes become flooded with tears."
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadîth No.504).
[3]
(V.2:275) Riba : Usury which is of two major kinds; (A) Riba An-Nasî'a i.e. interest on lent
money; (B) Riba Al-Fadl, i.e. taking a superior thing of the same kind of goods by giving
more of the same kind of goods of inferior quality, e.g., dates of superior quality for dates of
inferior quality in great amounts.

276. Allâh will destroy Ribâ (usury) and
will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of
charity, alms, etc.) And Allâh likes not the
disbelievers, sinners.
277. Truly those who believe, and do
deeds of righteousness, and perform As-Salât
(Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât, they will
have their reward with their Lord. On them
shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
278. O you who believe! Be afraid of
Allâh and give up what remains (due to you)

are (really) believers111.

a) Narrated 'Aun bin Abu Juhaifah &s &I gò): My father bought a slave who practised the
profession of cupping. (My father broke the slave's instruments of cupping). I asked my
father why he had done so. He replied, "The Prophet , we ut 1. forbade the acceptance
of the price of a dog or blood, and also forbade the profession of tattooing, or getting
tattooed and receiving or giving Ribâ (usury), and cursed the picture-makers." (Sahih Al-
Bukhari, Vol.3, Hadîth No.299).
b) Narrated Abu Juhaifah that he had bought a slave whose profession was cupping and
then said: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade taking the price of blood and the price of a
dog and the earnings of a prostitute, and cursed the one who took or gave Riba (usury),
and the lady who tattooed others or got herself tattooed, and the picture-maker. (Sahih Al-
Bukhâri, Vol.7, Hadîth No.845).
[2] (2:279)
a) Narrated Abu Sa'îd Al-Khudrî de al gò): Once Bilal brought Barni (a kind of) dates to the
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked him, "From where have you
brought these?" Bilal replied, "I had some inferior kind of dates and exchanged two Sa' of it
for one Sa' of Barni dates, in order to give it to the Prophet plug als inI to to eat."
Thereupon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Beware! Beware! This is definitely Riba
(usury)! This is definitely Riba (usury)! Don't do so, but if you want to buy (a superior kind of
dates) sell the inferior kind of dates for money and then, buy the superior kind of dates with
that money." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.3, Hadîth No.506).
b) Narrated Samura bin Jundub رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم very often
used to ask his companions, "Did anyone of you see a dream?" So, dreams would be
narrated to him by those whom Allah willed to relate. One morning the Prophet que & the
, said, "Last night two persons (angels) came to me (in a dream) and woke me up and
said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we came across a man lying down, and
behold, another man was standing over his head, holding a big rock. Behold, he was
throwing the rock at the man's head, smashing it. The rock rolled away and the thrower
followed it and took it back. By the time he reached the man, his head returned to its
normal state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two
companions, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said, 'Proceed!' So we
proceeded and came to a man lying in a prone position, and another man standing over his
head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man's mouth

Surah 2. Al-Baqarah

and tear off that side of his face to the back (of the neck), and similarly tear his nose from
front to back, and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to the other (second) side of
the man's face and did just as he had done with the first side. He hardly completed that
(second) side when the first side returned to its normal state. Then he returned to it to
repeat what he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhan Allâh! Who are
these two persons?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across
something like a Tannur (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread)." I
think the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "In that oven there was much noise and voices." The
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "We looked into it and found naked men and women, and
behold, a flame of fire was reaching to them from underneath, and when it reached them,
they cried loudly. I asked them, 'Who are these?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' And so we
proceeded and came across a river." I think he said, " - red like blood." The Prophet al .
, ul added, "And behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there
was a man who had collected many stones. Behold, while the other man was swimming, he
went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter (on the bank) threw a stone into
his mouth whereupon he went swimming again. Then again he (the former) returned to him
(the latter), and every time the former returned, he opened his mouth, and the latter threw a
stone into his mouth, (and so on) the performance was repeated. I asked my two
companions, 'Who are these two persons?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we
proceeded till we came to a man with a repulsive appearance, the most repulsive
appearance you ever saw a man having! Beside him there was a fire, and he was kindling it
and running around it. I asked my companions, 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me,
'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden of deep green dense
vegetation, having all sorts of spring colours. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall
man, and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and around him there
were children in such a large number as I have never seen. I said to my companions, 'Who
is this?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a majestic huge
garden, greater and better than I have ever seen! My two companions said to me, 'Ascend
up' and I ascended up." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "So we ascended till we reached
a city built of gold and silver bricks, and we went to its gate and asked (the gatekeeper) to
open the gate, and it was opened and we entered the city and found in it men with one side
of their bodies as handsome as the most handsome person you have ever seen, and the
other side as ugly as the ugliest person you have ever seen. My two companions ordered
those men to throw themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the
city), and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those men went and threw themselves in it
and then returned to us after the ugliness (of their bodies) had disappeared, and they
became in the best shape." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم further added, "My two companions
(angels) said to me: 'This place is the 'Adn Paradise, and that is your place.' I raised up my
sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two companions said to me:
'That (palace) is your place' I said to them: 'May Allah bless you both! Let me enter it.' They
replied, 'As for now, you will not enter it, but you shall enter it (one day).' I said to them, 'I
have seen many wonders tonight. What does all that mean which I have seen?' They
replied, 'We will inform you: As for the first man you came upon whose head was being
smashed with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Qur'an, and then
neither recites it, nor acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers. As for
the man you came upon, whose sides of mouth, nostrils, and eyes were torn off from front
to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells lies
that are spread all over the world. And those naked men and women whom you saw in a
construction resembling an oven, they are the adulterers-fornicators and the adulteresses-
fornicatresses, and the man whom you saw swimming in the river, and was given a stone
to swallow, is the eater of Riba (usury), and the bad looking man whom you saw near the
fire kindling it and going around it, is Malik; the gatekeeper of Hell, and the tall man whom
you saw in the garden, is Ibrahim (Abraham), and the children around him are those who
die on Al-Fitrah (the Islamic Faith of Monotheism ).' " The narrator added : Some Muslims
asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, "O Allah's Messenger! What about the children of A/-
Mushrikun ?* The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "And also the children of Al-
Mushrikun." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "My two companions added, 'The men you

for himself, then let his guardian dictate in
justice. And get two witnesses out of your
own men. And if there are not two men
(available), then a man and two women, such
as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of
them (two women) errs, the other can remind
her. And the witnesses should not refuse
when they are called (for evidence). You
should not become weary to write it (your
contract), whether it be small or big, for its
fixed term, that is more just with Allâh; more
solid as evidence, and more convenient to

man used to give loans to the people, and used to say to his servant, 'If the debtor is poor,
forgive him, so that Allâh may forgive us.' So when he met Allah (after his death), Allâh

prevent doubts among yourselves, save when
it is a present trade which you carry out on
the spot among yourselves, then there is no
sin on you if you do not write it down. But
take witnesses whenever you make a
commercial contract. Let neither scribe nor
witness suffer any harm, but if you do (such
harm), it would be wickedness in you. So be
afraid of Allah; and Allah teaches you. And
Allah is the All-Knower of each and
everything.
283. And if you are on a journey and
cannot find a scribe, then let there be a pledge
taken (mortgaging) 1; then if one of you
entrust the other, let the one who is entrusted
discharge his trust (faithfully), and let him be
afraid of Allâh, his Lord. And conceal not the
evidence for he, who hides it, surely his heart
is sinful. And Allâh is All-Knower of what
you do.
284. To Allâh belongs all that is in the
heavens and all that is on the earth, and
whether you disclose what is in your
ownselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to
account for it. Then He forgives whom He
wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allâh
is Able to do all things.
صلى الله The Messenger (Muhammad .285
believes in what has been sent down (عليه وسلم
to him from his Lord, and (so do) the
believers. Each one believes in Allâh, His
Angels, His Books, and His Messengers.
(They say), "We make no distinction between
one another of His Messengers" - and they
say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your
Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the
return (of all)."
286. Allâh burdens not a person beyond
his scope. He gets reward for that (good)
which he has earned, and he is punished for

on credit for a limited period and mortgaged his armour for it. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.3,
