Part 1
Sûrah 2. Al-Baqarah
26. Verily, Allâh is not ashamed to set
forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much
more when it is bigger (or less when it is
smaller) than it. And as for those who believe,
they know that it is the Truth from their Lord,
but as for those who disbelieve, they say:
"What did Allâh intend by this parable?" By
it He misleads many, and many He guides
thereby. And He misleads thereby only those
who
are Al-Fâsigûn
(the rebellious,
disobedient to Allâh"
27. Those who break Allah's Covenant
after ratifying it, and sever what Allâh has
ordered to be joined (as regards Allah's
religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to
practise its laws on the earth and also as
regards keeping good relations with kith and
kin121), and do mischief on earth, it is they
who are the losers.
28. How can you disbelieve in Allâh?
seeing that you were dead and He gave you
life. Then He will give you death, then again
will bring you to life (on the Day of
Resurrection) and then unto Him you will
return. (See V.40:11)
29. He it is Who created for you all that is
on earth. Then He rose over (Istawa) towards
the heaven and made them seven heavens and
He is the All-Knower of everything.
30. And (remember) when your Lord said
to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place
(mankind) generations after generations on
earth." They said: "Will You place therein
those who will make mischief therein and
shed blood, - while we glorify You with
praises and thanks and sanctify You." He
(Allâh) said: "I know that which you do not
know."

Sûrah2. Al-Baqarah
31. And He taught Adam all the names (of
everything) 11, then He showed them to the
angels and said, "Tell Me the names of these
if you are truthful."
32. They (angels) said: "Glory be to You,
we have no knowledge except what you have
taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower,
the All-Wise."
33. He said: "O Adam! Inform them of
their names," and when he had informed them
وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الْأَسْمَآءَ كُلّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى
الْمَلَبِكَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْتُونِ بِأَسْمَاءِ هَؤُلَاءِ
إِن كُنْتُمْ صَدِقِينَ
قَالُواْ سُبْحَنَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَاْ إِنَّكَ
أَنْتَ الْعَلِيمُ اْحَكِيمُ
Pr
قَالَ يَدَمُ أَنْبِشْهُمْ بِأَسْمَاِهِمّ فَمَّا أَنْبَأَهُم
[1] (V.2:31) The Statement of Allah JUS: 'And He taught Adam all the names (of
everything).'
Narrated Anas رضى الله عنه : The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "On the Day of
Resurrection the believers will assemble and say, 'Let us ask somebody to
intercede for us with our Lord.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the father
of all the people, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the
angels to prostrate themselves to you, and taught you the names of all things; so
please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for you).' Then Adam will
remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He will say, 'Go to Nuh (Noah), for he
was the first Messenger Allah sent to the inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to
him and Nuh (Noah) will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' He will remember
his appeal to his Lord to do something of which he had no knowledge, then he will
feel ashamed thereof and will say, 'Go to Khalil-ur-Rahman* [i.e. Ibrahim
(Abraham)]. They will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.
Go to Musa (Moses), the slave to whom Allah spoke (directly) and gave him the
Taurat (Torah).' So they will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking,' and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and so
he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say, 'Go to 'Îsa (Jesus),
Allah's slave, His Messenger and Allah's Word and a spirit coming from Him .** 'Îså
صلى الله عليه وسلم Jesus) will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, go to Muhammad)
the slave of Allah whose past and future sins were forgiven by Allah.' So they will
come to me and I will proceed till I ask my Lord's Permission and I will be given
permission. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration and He will let me
remain in that state as long He wishes and then I will be addressed.' (Muhammad!)
Raise your head. Ask, and your request will be granted; say, and your saying will
be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my
head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e. invocation) He will teach me, and then I
will intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede) whom I will admit into
Paradise. Then I will come back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same
thing will happen to me. And then I will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me (to
intercede) whom I will admit into Paradise, then I will come back for the third time;
and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, 'None remains in Hell
but those whom the Qur'an has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been destined to
an eternal stay in Hell."" (The compiler) Abu 'Abdullah said: 'But those whom the
Qur'an has imprisoned in Hell' refers to the Statement of Allâh J> , ;: "To abide
therein .... V. 16:29" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadîth No.3).
*The intimate friend of the Most Gracious (Allâh).
** This may wrongly be understood as the spirit or soul of Allah, in fact, it is a soul
created by Allâh, i.e. 'Îsa (Jesus). It was His Word: "Be!" - and he was (created
like the creation of Adam). Please see the word Ruh-ullah in the glossary for
further details.

بِأَسْمَاءِهِمْ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِّ أَغْلَمُ غَيْبَ

٣٥
فَأَزَلَّهُمَا الشَّيْطِنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُ مَا مِمَا كَانَفِيَّةٍ
وَقُلْنَا أَهِْطُوا بَعْضُكُمْلِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌ وَلَكُمْ فِى الْأَرْضِ

of their names, He said: "Did I not tell you
that I know the Ghaib (Unseen) in the
heavens and the earth, and I know what you
reveal and what you have been concealing?"
34. And (remember) when We said to the
angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam.".
And they prostrated except Iblis (Satan), he
refused and was proud and was one of the
disbelievers (disobedient to Allâh).
35. And We said: "O Adam! Dwell you and
your wife in the Paradise and eat both of you
freely with pleasure and delight, of things therein
as wherever you will, but come not near this tree
or you both will be of the Zâlimun (wrong-
doers)."
36. Then the Shaitan (Satan) made them
slip therefrom (the Paradise), and got them
out from that in which they were. We said:
"Get you down, all, with enmity between
yourselves. On earth will be a dwelling place
for you and an enjoyment for a time."
37. Then Adam received from his Lord
Words'11. And his Lord pardoned him
(accepted his repentance). Verily, He is the
One Who forgives (accepts repentance), the
Most Merciful.
38. We said: "Get down all of you from
this place (the Paradise), then whenever there
comes to you Guidance from Me, and
whoever follows My Guidance, there shall be
no fear on them, nor shall they grieve.
39. But those who disbelieve and belie
Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.) - such are the
dwellers of the Fire. They shall abide therein
forever.
40. O Children of Israel! Remember My
Favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil
(your obligations to) My Covenant (with you)
[1] (V.2:37): These words are mentioned in the Qur'an; (Verse 7:23): They are: "Our
Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us
Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers."

so that I fulfil (My Obligations to) your
covenant (with Me), and fear none but Me.
41. And believe in what I have sent down
(this Qur'ân), confirming that which is with
you, [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)], and be not the first to disbelieve
therein, and buy [get (تاخذ اجرا)] not with My
Verses [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)] a small price (i.e. getting a small
gain by selling My Verses), and fear Me and
Me Alone. (Tafsîr At-Tabarî).
42. And mix not truth with falsehood, nor
conceal the truth
[i.e. Muhammad
is Allah's Messenger and his صلى الله عليه وسلم
qualities are written in your Scriptures, the
Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] while
you know (the truth)[1].
43. And perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-
Salât), and give Zakât, and bow down (or
submit yourselves with obedience to Allâh)
along with Ar-Râki 'un121.
44. Enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and
righteousness and each and every act of
obedience to Allâh) on the people and you forget
(to practise it) yourselves,""" while you recite the

[1] (V.2:42): Narrated 'Ata bin Yasar: I met 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al 'Aas and asked
him, "Tell me about the description of Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم which is
mentioned in the Taurat (Torah)." He replied, "Yes. By Allah, he is described in the
Taurât (Torah) with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Qur'an as follows:
'O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah's True Religion). And a giver
of glad tidings (to the faithful believers). And a warner (to the disbelievers), and a
guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and My Messenger I have named you
Al-Mutawakkil (who depends upon Allah). You are neither discourteous, harsh nor
a noise-maker in the markets, and you do not do evil to those who do evil to you,
but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness. Allah will not let him (the
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) die till he makes straight the crooked people by making
them say: 'La ilaha illallah,' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), by
which 'blind eyes, deaf ears and closed hearts' will be opened." (Sahih Al-Bukhari,
Vol.3, Hadîth No.335).
[2] (V.2:43) Ar-Raki'un: Those who bow down or submit themselves with obedience
to Allah with Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as the Muslims have done, i.e., embrace
Islâm (worshipping none but Allâh Alone and doing good with the only intention of
seeking Allâh's Pleasure).
[3] (V.2:44) Narrated Abu Wa'il رضى الله عنه:Someone said to Usama, Will you not
talk to this ('Uthman)?" Usama said, "I talked to him (secretly) without being the
first man to open an evil door. I will never tell a ruler who rules over two men or
more that he is good after I heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, 'A man
will be brought and put in Hell (Fire) and he will circumambulate (go round and

45. And seek help in patience and As-

heavy and hard except for Al-Khâshi 'ûn [i.e.
the true believers in Allah - those who obey
Allâh with full submission, fear much from
His Punishment, and believe in His Promise
(Paradise) and in His Warnings (Hell)].
46. (They are those) who are certain that
they are going to meet their Lord, and that
unto Him they are going to return.
47. O Children of Israel! Remember My
Favour which I bestowed upon you and that I
preferred you to the ‘Âlamîn [mankind and
jinn (of your time period, in the past)].
48. And fear a Day (of Judgement) when a
person shall not avail another, nor will
intercession be accepted from him nor will
compensation be taken from him nor will they
be helped.
49. And (remember) when We delivered
you from Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, who
were afflicting you with a horrible torment,
killing your sons and sparing your women,
and therein was a mighty trial from your
Lord.
50. And (remember) when We separated
the sea for you and saved you and drowned
Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people while you were
looking (at them, when the sea-water covered
them).
51. And (remember) when We appointed
for Mûsâ (Moses) forty nights, and (in his
absence) you took the calf (for worship), and
round) in Hell (Fire) like a donkey of a (flour) grinding mill, and all the people of
Hell (Fire) will gather around him and will say to him, 'O so and so! Didn't you use
to order others for Al-Ma'ruf (Islamic Monotheism and all that is good) and forbid
them from Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief, and all that is evil)?' That man will say,
'I used to order others to do Al-Mar'uf (Islamic Monotheism and all that good) but I
myself never used to do it, and I used to forbid others from Al-Munkar (polytheism,
disbelief, and all that is evil) while I myself used to do Al-Munkar (polytheism,
disbelief and all that is evil)'". (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.9, Hadîth No.218).

you were Zâlimun (polytheists and wrong-
doers).
52. Then after that We forgave you so that
you might be grateful.
53. And (remember) when We gave Mûsâ
(Moses) the Scripture [the Taurât (Torah)]
and the criterion (of right and wrong) so that
you may be guided aright."
54. And (remember) when Mûsâ (Moses) said to
his people: "O my people! Verily, you have
wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf. So
turn in repentance to your Creator and kill
yourselves (the innocent kill the wrongdoers
among you), that will be better for you with your
Creator." Then He accepted your repentance.
Truly, He is the One Who accepts repentance, the
Most Merciful.
55. And (remember) when you said: "O
Mûsâ (Moses)! We shall never believe in you
until we see Allâh plainly." But you were
seized with a thunder-bolt (lightning) while
you were looking.
56. Then We raised you up after your
death, so that you might be grateful.
57. And We shaded you with clouds and
sent down on you Al-Manna" and the quails,
(saying): "Eat of the good lawful things We
have provided for you," (but they rebelled).
And they did not wrong Us but they wronged
themselves.
58. And (remember) when We said:
"Enter this town (Jerusalem) and eat
bountifully therein with pleasure and delight
wherever you wish, and enter the gate in
prostration (or bowing with humility) and say:
'Forgive us,' and We shall forgive you your
sins and shall increase (reward) for the good-
doers."

59. But those who did wrong changed the
word from that which had been told to them
for another, so We sent upon the wrong-doers
Rijz ( a punishment )In
from the heaven
because of their rebelling against Allâh's
obedience. (Tafsir At-Tabarî ).
60. And (remember) when Mûsâ (Moses)
asked for water for his people, We said:
"Strike the stone with your stick." Then
gushed forth therefrom twelve springs. Each
(group of) people knew its own place for
water. "Eat and drink of that which Allâh has
provided and do not act corruptly, making
mischief on the earth."
61. And (remember) when you said, "O
Mûsâ (Moses)! We cannot endure one kind of
food. So invoke your Lord for us to bring
forth for us of what the earth grows, its herbs,
its cucumbers, its Fûm (wheat or garlic), its
lentils and its onions." He said, "Would you
exchange that which is better for that which is
lower? Go you down to any town and you
shall find what you want!" And they were
covered with humiliation and misery, and
they drew on themselves the Wrath of Allâh.
That was because they used to disbelieve the
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations etc.) of Allâh and killed the
Prophets wrongfully. That was because they
disobeyed and used to transgress the bounds
(in their disobedience to Allâh, i.e. commit
crimes and sins).
62. Verily! Those who believe and those
who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, 121
whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day
and does righteous good deeds shall have
صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah's Messenger: رضى الله عنه V.2:59) Narrated Usamah bin Zaid) [1]
said, "Plague was a means of torture sent on a group of Israelis (or on some
people before you). So if you hear of its spread in a land, don't approach it, and if
plague should appear in a land where you are present, then don't leave that land in
order to run away from it (i.e. plague)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.4, Hadîth No.679).
[2] (V. 2:62) A past nation used to live in Mûsal (Iraq) and say La ilâha illallah (none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and used to read Az-Zabur (the Psalms of
the Sabians) and they were neither Jews nor Christians.

no fear, nor shall they grieve.[1]
63. And (O Children of Israel, remember)
when We took your covenant and We raised
above you the Mount (saying): "Hold fast to
that which We have given you, and remember
that which is therein so that you may become
Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
64. Then after that you turned away. Had
it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allâh
upon you, indeed you would have been
among the losers.
65. And indeed you knew those amongst
you who transgressed in the matter of the
Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: "Be
you monkeys, despised and rejected."
66. So We made this punishment an
example to their own and to succeeding
generations and a lesson to those who are Al-
Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
67. And (remember) when Mûsâ (Moses)
said to his people: "Verily, Allâh commands
you that you slaughter a cow." They said,
"Do you make fun of us?" He said, "I take
Allâh's Refuge from being among Al-Jâhilun
(the ignorant or the foolish)."
68. They said, "Call upon your Lord for
us that He may make plain to us what it is!"
He said, "He says, 'Verily, it is a cow neither
too old nor too young, but (it is) between the
two conditions', so do what you are
commanded."
69. They said, "Call upon your Lord for
us to make plain to us its colour." He said,
"He says, 'It is a yellow cow, bright in its
colour, pleasing the beholders.' "

misinterpreted by the reader as mentioned by Ibn Abbas رضى الله عنهما (Tafsir At-

whosoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and
in the Hereafter, he will be one of the losers." (i.e.after the coming of Prophet
Muhammad
on the earth, no other religion except Islam, will be صلى الله عليه وسلم
accepted from anyone).

70. They said, "Call upon your Lord for
us to make plain to us what it is. Verily, to us
all cows are alike. And surely, if Allah wills,
we will be guided."
71. He [Mûsâ (Moses)] said, "He says, 'It
is a cow neither trained to till the soil nor
water the fields, sound, having no other
colour except bright yellow.' " They said,
"Now you have brought the truth." So they
slaughtered it though they were near to not
doing it.
72. And (remember) when you killed a
man and fell into dispute among yourselves as
to the crime. But Allâh brought forth that
which you were hiding.
73. So We said: "Strike him (the dead
man) with a piece of it (the cow)." Thus Allâh
brings the dead to life and shows you His
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.) so that you may
understand.
74. Then, after that, your hearts were
hardened and became as stones or even worse
in hardness. And indeed, there are stones out
of which rivers gush forth, and indeed, there
are of them (stones) which split asunder so
that water flows from them, and indeed, there
are of them (stones) which fall down for fear
of Allâh. And Allâh is not unaware of what
you do.
75. Do you (faithful believers) covet that
they will believe in your religion inspite of
the fact that a party of them (Jewish rabbis)
used to hear the Word of Allah [the Taurat
(Torah)], then they used to change it
knowingly after they understood it?
76. And when they (Jews) meet those who
believe (Muslims), they say, "We believe",
but when they meet one another in private,
they say, "Shall you (Jews) tell them
(Muslims) what Allâh has revealed to you
[Jews, about the description and the qualities
of Prophet Muhammad

which are written in the Taurat (Torah)][1],
that they (Muslims) may argue with you
(Jews) about it before your Lord?" Have you
(Jews) then no understanding?
77. Know they (Jews) not that Allâh
knows what they conceal and what they
reveal?
78. And there are among them (Jews)
unlettered people, who know not the Book,
but they trust upon false desires and they but
guess.
79. Then woe to those who write the Book
with their own hands and then say, "This is
from Allâh," to purchase with it a little price!
Woe to them for what their hands have
written and woe to them for that they earn
thereby.
80. And they (Jews) say, "The Fire (i.e.
Hell-fire on the Day of Resurrection) shall
not touch us but for a few numbered days."
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to them):
"Have you taken a covenant from Allâh, so
that Allâh will not break His Covenant? Or is
it that you say of Allâh what you know not?"
81. Yes! Whosoever earns evil and his sin
has surrounded him, they are dwellers of the
Fire (i.e. Hell); they will dwell therein
forever.
82. And those who believe (in the
Oneness of Allâh Jus - Islamic Monotheism)
and do righteous good deeds, they are
dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell therein
forever. (See V.2:257)
83. And (remember) when We took a
covenant from the Children of Israel,
(saying): Worship none but Allâh (Alone) and
be dutiful and good to parents, and to
kindred, and to orphans and Al-Masakîn 2

enjoin righteousness and forbid evil, and say
,[صلى الله عليه وسلم the truth about Muhammad
and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and
give Zakât. Then you slid back, except a few
of you, while you are backsliders. (Tafsir Al-

84. And (remember) when We took your
covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your
(people), nor turn out your own people from
their dwellings. Then, (this) you ratified and
(to this) you bear witness.
85. After this, it is you who kill one
another and drive out a party of you from
their homes, assist (their enemies) against
them, in sin and transgression. And if they
come to you as captives, you ransom them,
although their expulsion was forbidden to
you. Then do you believe in a part of the
Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the
recompense of those who do so among you,
except disgrace in the life of this world, and
on the Day of Resurrection they shall be
consigned to the most grievous torment. And
Allâh is not unaware of what you do.
86. Those are they who have bought the
life of this world at the price of the Hereafter.
Their torment shall not be lightened nor shall
they be helped.
87. And indeed, We gave Mûsâ (Moses)
the Book and followed him up with a
succession of Messengers. And We gave 'Îsâ
(Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear
signs and supported him with Ruh-ul-Qudus
[Jibrael (Gabriel) عليه السلام] .Is it that
whenever there came to you a Messenger
with what you yourselves desired not, you
grew arrogant? Some you disbelieved and
some you killed.
88. And they say, "Our hearts are wrapped

Word)." Nay, Allah has cursed them for their
disbelief, so little is that which they believe.
89. And when there came to them (the
Jews), a Book (this Qur'an) from Allâh
confirming what is with them [the Taurât
(Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], although
aforetime they had invoked Allâh (for coming
of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) in order to
gain victory over those who disbelieved, then
when there came to them that which they had
recognised, they disbelieved in it. So let the
Curse of Allâh be on the disbelievers.
90. How bad is that for which they have
sold their ownselves, that they should
disbelieve in that which Allâh has revealed
(the Qur'ân), grudging that Allâh should
reveal of His Grace unto whom He wills of
His slaves. So they have drawn on themselves
wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers,
there is disgracing torment.
91. And when it is said to them (the Jews),
"Believe in what Allah has sent down," they
say, "We believe in what was sent down to
us." And they disbelieve in that which came
after it, while it is the truth confirming
what is with them. Say (O Muhammad Le
to them): "Why then have you الله عليه وسلم
killed the Prophets of Allâh aforetime, if you
indeed have been believers?"
92. And indeed Mûsâ (Moses) came to
you with clear proofs, yet you worshipped the
calf after he left, and you were Zâlimun
(polytheists and wrong-doers).
93. And (remember) when We took your
covenant and We raised above you the Mount
(saying), "Hold firmly to what We have given
you and hear (Our Word)." They said, "We
have heard and disobeyed." And their hearts
absorbed (the worship of) the calf because of
their disbelief. Say: "Worst indeed is that
which your faith enjoins on you if you are
believers."
94. Say to (them): "If the home of the
Hereafter with Allah is indeed for you

specially and not for others, of mankind, then
long for death if you are truthful."
95. But they will never long for it because
of what their hands have sent before them
(i.e. what they have done). And Allâh is All-
Aware of the Zâlimun (polytheists and
wrong-doers).
96. And verily, you will find them (the Jews)
the greediest of mankind for life and (even
greedier) than those who ascribe partners to
Allâh (and do not believe in Resurrection
- Majūs, pagans, and idolaters). Everyone of
them wishes that he could be given a life of a
thousand years. But the grant of such life will
not save him even a little from (due)
punishment. And Allâh is All-Seer of what
they do.
:(صلى الله عليه وسلم Say (O Muhammad.97
"Whoever is an enemy to Jibrael (Gabriel)
(let him die in his fury), for indeed he has
brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by
Allâh's Permission, confirming what came
before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah) and the
Injeel (Gospel)] and guidance and glad
tidings for the believers.
98. "Whoever is an enemy to Allâh, His
Angels, His Messengers, Jibrael (Gabriel) and
Mikael (Michael), then verily, Allâh is an
enemy to the disbelievers."
99. And indeed We have sent down to you
manifest Ayât (these Verses of the Qur'an
which inform in detail about the news of the
Jews and their secret intentions, etc.), and
none disbelieve in them but Fâsiqun (those
who rebel against Allâh's Command).
100. Is it not (the case) that every time they
make a covenant, some party among them throw
it aside? Nay! (the truth is:) most of them believe
not.
101. And when there came to them a
Messenger from Allah (i.e. Muhammad Lo

threw away the Book of Allah behind their
backs as if they did not know!
102. They followed what the Shayatîn
(devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the
lifetime of Sulaimân (Solomon). Sulaimân did
not disbelieve, but the Shayâtîn (devils)
disbelieved, teaching men magic and such
things that came down at Babylon to the two
angels, Hârût and Mârût, but neither of these
two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till
they had said, "We are only for trial, so
disbelieve not (by learning this magic from
us)." And from these (angels) people learn
that by which they cause separation between
man and his wife, but they could not thus
harm anyone except by Allâh's Leave. And
they learn that which harms them and profits
them not. And indeed they knew that the
buyers of it (magic) would have no share in
the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that
for which they sold their ownselves, if they but
knew.
103. And if they had believed and guarded
themselves from evil and kept their duty to
Allâh, far better would have been the reward
from their Lord, if they but knew!
104. O you who believe! Say not (to the
Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم) Rd'inal but say
Unzurna (make us understand) and hear. And
for the disbelievers there is a painful torment.
(See Verse 4:46)
105. Neither those who disbelieve among
the people of the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) nor Al-Mushrikun (the idolaters,
polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of
Allâh, pagans, etc.) like that there should be
sent down unto you any good from your Lord.
But Allâh chooses for His Mercy whom He
wills. And Allah is the Owner of Great
Bounty.
[1] (V.2:104) Râ'ina: In Arabic means "Be careful; Listen to us, and we listen to
you", whereas in Hebrew it means "an insult", and the Jews used to say it to the
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with bad intentions. (See V.4:46)

106. Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We
abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a
better one or similar to it. Know you not that
Allâh is able to do all things?
107. Know you not that it is Allâh to
Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens
and the earth? And besides Allâh you have
neither any Walî (protector or guardian) nor
any helper.
108. Or do you want to ask your
Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) as
Mûsâ (Moses) was asked before (i.e. show us
openly our Lord)? And he who changes Faith
for disbelief, verily, he has gone astray from
the Right Way.
109. Many of the people of the Scripture
(Jews and Christians) wish that if they could
turn you away as disbelievers after you have
believed, out of envy from their ownselves,
even after the truth (that Muhammad
صلی
is Allah's Messenger) has become الله عليه وسلم
manifest unto them. But forgive and overlook, till
Allâh brings His Command.11) Verily, Allâh is
Able to do all things.
110. And perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-
Salât), and give Zakât, and whatever of good
(deeds that Allâh loves) you send forth for
yourselves before you, you shall find it with
Allâh. Certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what
you do.
111. And they say, "None shall enter
Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian."
These are their own desires. Say (O
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), "Produce your
proof if you are truthful."
112. Yes, but whoever submits his face
(himself) to Allâh (i.e. follows Allâh's
Religion of Islamic Monotheism) and he is a
Muhsin2 then his reward is with his Lord

(Allâh), on such shall be no fear, nor shall
they grieve. [See Tafsir Ibn Kathîr].
113. The Jews said that the Christians
follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right
religion); and the Christians said that the Jews
follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right
religion); though they both recite the
Scripture. Like unto their word, said (the
pagans) who know not. Allâh will judge
between them on the Day of Resurrection
about that wherein they have been differing.
114. And who are more unjust than those
who forbid that Allah's Name be glorified
and mentioned much (i.e. prayers and
invocations, etc.) in Allâh's mosques and
strive for their ruin? It was not fitting that
such should themselves enter them (Allâh's
Mosques) except in fear. For them there is
disgrace in this world, and they will have a
great torment in the Hereafter.
115. And to Allâh belong the east and the
west, so wherever you turn (yourselves or your
faces) there is the Face of Allah (and He is High
above, over His Throne). Surely! Allah is All-
Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-
Knowing.
116. And they (Jews, Christians and
pagans) say: Allâh has begotten a son
(children or offspring) 1. Glory be to Him
(Exalted be He above all that they associate
with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in
the heavens and on earth, and all surrender
with obedience (in worship) to Him.
117. The Originator of the heavens and
the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only
says to it : "Be!" - and it is.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas رضى الله عنهما :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allah said, 'The
son of Adam tells lies against Me though he has no right to do so, and he abuses
Me though he has no right to do so. As for his telling lies against Me, he claims
that I cannot re-create him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me: it is
his statement that I have a son (or offspring) No! Glorified be Me! I am far from
taking a wife or a son (or offspring).' " (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, Hadîth No. 9).

118. And those who have no knowledge
say: "Why does not Allâh speak to us (face to
face) or why does not a sign come to us?" So
said the people before them words of similar
import. Their hearts are alike, We have
indeed made plain the signs for people who
believe with certainty.
119. Verily, We have sent you (O
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with the truth
(Islâm), a bringer of glad tidings (for those
who believe in what you brought, that they
will enter Paradise) and a warner (for those
who disbelieve in what you brought, that they
will enter the Hell-fire). 1. And you will not
be asked about the dwellers of the blazing
Fire.
120. Never will the Jews nor the
Christians be pleased with you (O
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) till you follow
their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of
Allâh (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) that is the
(only) Guidance. And if you (O Muhammad
were to follow their (Jews (صلى الله عليه وسلم
and Christians) desires after what you have
received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'an), then
you would have against Allâh neither any
Walî (protector or guardian) nor any helper.
121. Those (who embraced Islam from
Banî Israel) to whom We gave the Book [the
Taurât (Torah)] [or those (Muhammad's Le
companions) to whom We have الله عليه وسلم
given the Book (the Qur'an)] recite it (i.e.
obey its orders and follow its teachings) as it
should be recited (i.e. followed), they are the
ones who believe therein. And whoso
disbelieve in it (the Qur'an), those are they
who are the losers. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî ).
122. O Children of Israel! Remember My
Favour which I bestowed upon you and that I
preferred you to the 'Âlamîn [mankind and
jinn (of your time-period, in the past)].

123. And fear the Day (of Judgement) when
no person shall avail another, nor shall
compensation be accepted from him, nor shall
intercession be of use to him, nor shall they be
helped.
124. And (remember) when the Lord of
Ibrâhîm (Abraham) [i.e. Allâh] tried him
with (certain) Commands,[1] which he
fulfilled. He (Allâh) said (to him), "Verily, I
am going to make you an Imâm (a leader) for
mankind (to follow you)." [Ibrâhîm
(Abraham)] said, "And of my offspring (to
make leaders)." (Allâh) said, "My Covenant
(Prophethood) includes
not
Zâlimûn
(polytheists and wrong-doers)."
125. And (remember) when We made the
House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) a place of
resort for mankind and a place of safety. And
take you (people) the Maqâm (place) of
Ibrâhîm (Abraham) [or the stone on which
Ibrahim (Abraham) عليه السلام stood while he
was building the Ka'bah] as a place of prayer
(for some of your prayers, e.g. two Rak'at
after the Tawaf of the Ka'bah at Makkah),
and We commanded Ibrâhîm (Abraham) and
Ismâ'îl (Ishmael) that they should purify My
House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) for those who
are circumambulating it, or staying (I'tikâf),

[1] (V.2:124) It is said that those commands were many. Some of them are as
follows:
(A) To invite mankind to the Tauhid (Islamic Monotheism).
(B) To show mankind the Manasik (See V.2:128).
(C) To practise the characteristics of Al-Fitrah:
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying:
Five practices are characteristic of Al-Fitrah:
(1) Circumcision.
(2) Shaving the pubic hair.
(3) Cutting the moustaches short.
(4) Clipping the nails.
(5) and depilating the hair of the armpits.
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 779, Vol.7)
Narrated Ibn Umar رضى الله عنهما Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Cut the
moustaches short and leave the beard (as it is)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No.

126. And (remember) when Ibrâhîm
(Abraham) said, "My Lord, make this city
(Makkah) a place of security and provide its
people with fruits, such of them as believe in

then I shall compel him to the torment of the

127. And (remember) when Ibrâhîm
(Abraham) and (his son) Ismâ'îl (Ishmael)
were raising the foundations of the House (the
Ka'bah at Makkah), (saying), "Our Lord!
Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are
the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."
128. "Our Lord! And make us submissive
unto You and of our offspring a nation
submissive unto You, and show us our
Manâsik2 (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage
- Hajj and 'Umrah), and accept our
repentance. Truly, You are the One Who
accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.
129. "Our Lord! Send amongst them a
Messenger of their own (and indeed Allâh
answered their invocation by sending
Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), who shall
recite unto them Your Verses and instruct
them in the Book (this Qur'an) and Al-
Hikmah (full knowledge of the Islamic laws
and jurisprudence
or
wisdom
or
Prophethood), and purify them. Verily! You
are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
130. And who turns away from the
religion of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic
Monotheism) except him who befools
himself? Truly, We chose him in this world
and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among
the righteous.
131. When his Lord said to him, "Submit
(i.e. be a Muslim)!" He said, "I have

الجزء ١

Part 1
Surah 2. Al-Baqarah
submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of
the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that
exists)."
132. And this (submission to Allâh, Islâm)
was enjoined by Ibrâhîm (Abraham) upon his
sons and by Ya'qub (Jacob) (saying), "O my
sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true)
religion, then die not except in the Faith of
Islâm (as Muslims - Islamic Monotheism)."
133. Or were you witnesses when death
approached Ya'qub (Jacob)? When he said
unto his sons, "What will you worship after
me?" They said, "We shall worship your Ilâh
(God - Allâh) the Ilâh (God) of your fathers,
Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Ismâ‘îl (Ishmael), Ishâq
(Isaac), One Ilâh (God), and to Him we submit (in
Islâm)."
134. That was a nation who has passed
away. They shall receive the reward of what
they earned and you of what you earn. And
you will not be asked of what they used to do.
135. And they say, "Be Jews or
Christians, then you will be guided." Say (to
them O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), "Nay,
(we follow) only the religion of Ibrâhîm
(Abraham), Hanîfa [Islâmic Monotheism, i.e.
to worship none but Allâh (Alone)], and he
was not of Al-Mushrikun (those who
worshipped others along with Allâh - see
V.2:105)."

[1] (V.2:135) Narration about Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضى الله عنهما :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم met Zaid bin
'Amr bin Nufail in the bottom of (the valley of) Baldah before the descent of any
Divine revelation to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم . A meal was presented to the
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but he refused to eat from it. (Then it was presented to
Zaid) who said, "I do not eat anything which you slaughter on your Nusub* in the
name of your idols, etc. I eat only those (animals meat) on which Allah's Name has
been mentioned at the time of (their) slaughtering." Zaid bin 'Amr used to criticise
the way Quraish used to slaughter their animals and used to say, "Allah has
created the sheep and He has sent the water for it from the sky, and He has grown
the grass for it from the earth; yet you slaughter it in others than the Name of
Allâh." He used to say so, for he rejected that practice and considered it as
something abominable.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar Que al +): Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail went to Sham (the region
comprising Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan), enquiring about a true religion
to follow. He met a Jewish religious scholar and asked him about their religion. He
said, "I intend to embrace your religion, so tell me something about it." The Jew
said, "You will not embrace our religion unless you receive your share of Allah's
Anger." Zaid said, "I do not run except from Allah's Anger, and I will never bear a
bit of it if I have the power to avoid it. Can you tell me of some other religion?" He
