<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 6[/INST]Verily those who have adopted disbelief, it is the same for them whether you warn them or you warn them not, they will not believe.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 7[/INST]Allah (as a result of their own choice) has set a seal on their hearts and their ears and there is a blindfold (set) over their eyesAnd for them there is severe torment.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 8[/INST]And amongst people there are (also) some who say: ‘We believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment,’ whereas they are not (at all) believers.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 14[/INST]And when they (the hypocrites) meet the believers, they say: ‘We (too) have believed,’ and when they meet their devils in privacy they assure them: ‘We are certainly with youWe only mock (the believers).’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 15[/INST]Allah punishes them for their mockery and lets them loose (so that they meet their fate)So they are wandering blindly in their transgression.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 16[/INST]These are the people who have purchased misguidance for guidance; but their trade did not yield any gain and they did not know the way to (gainful and profitable) bargain.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 17[/INST]Their example is like a person who lit a fire (in surrounding darkness) and when it brightened the environment, Allah took away their light and left them in total darknessNow they cannot see anything.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 18[/INST]They are deaf, dumb and blindSo they will not return (to the right path).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 19[/INST]Or their example is like a rain pouring from the sky wherein there are layers of darkness, thunder and lightning (as well)They thrust their fingers into their ears fearing death owing to thunderAnd Allah has encompassed the disbelievers.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 20[/INST]It seems as if the lightning would snatch away their sightWhen their (surroundings) are lit with a flash, they start walking and when darkness covers them, they stand stillAnd if Allah willed, He could deprive them absolutely of hearing and sightSurely Allah is All-Powerful to do everything.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 21[/INST]O People! Worship your Lord Who created you and (also) those who were before you, so that you become God-wary.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 22[/INST](He is the One) Who spread out the earth for you as a floor, and erected the sky as a mansion, and showered water from the sky and brought forth with that (a variety of) fruits for your nourishmentSo, do not set up equals with Allah while you know (the truth of the matter).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 23[/INST]And if you are in doubt about this (Book) which We have revealed to Our (exalted) servant, then produce only one chapter like thisAnd (for this task) you may call upon (all) your helpers apart from Allah, if you are true (in your doubt and denial)</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 24[/INST]But if you fail to do it — and you shall never be able to do it — then guard yourselves against the Fire whose fuel is human beings (the disbelievers) and stones (their idols) which is prepared for disbelievers.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 25[/INST]And, (O Beloved,) give glad tidings to those who believe and keep doing pious deeds that for them there are gardens (of Paradise) beneath which streams flowWhen some fruit will be given to them from these gardens to eat they will say (looking at its appearance): ‘This is the same fruit that was provided to us (in the world) before,’ whereas they shall be given fruits resembling (only in appearance)In Paradise there will (also) be chaste spouses for them and they shall abide there forever.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 26[/INST]Indeed Allah is not reluctant to narrate some example (for better comprehension), whether of a mosquito or something even more (disgusting) than thatThe believers know well that this example is a (pointer to the Truth) from their LordBut those who have adopted disbelief ask (on hearing): ‘What could Allah mean by this example?’ (In this way) Allah holds many astray and guides many aright with the same exampleAnd by this He leaves in error only those who are (already) disobedient.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 27[/INST](These disobedient people are those) who break the promise of Allah after having confirmed it, and break that (relationship) which Allah has ordered to join, and create disorder in the landIt is they who are the losers.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 28[/INST]How can you deny Allah whereas you were lifeless and He gave you life, then He will cause you to die and will again bring you back to life, and then to Him will you be returned?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 29[/INST]He is the One Who created for you all that is in the earthThen He turned towards higher regions (of the universe) and perfected them into seven heavenly firmamentsAnd He has full knowledge of everything.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 30[/INST]And (call to mind) when your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am about to place My deputy on the earth.’ They submitted: ‘Will You put as Your (vicegerent) on the earth such as will do mischief in it and shed blood, while we are engaged in glorifying You with celebrating Your Praise and extolling Your Holiness (all the time)?’ (Allah) said: ‘I know that which you do not know.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 31[/INST]And Allah taught Adam the names of all (things), and then set them before the angels and said: ‘Tell Me the names of these things if you are true (in your assumption).’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 32[/INST]The angels (humbly) submitted: ‘Glory to You, You are Holy (Free from every deficiency)We have no knowledge except that which You have taught usSurely, You alone are All-Knowing, All-Wise.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 33[/INST]Allah said: ‘O Adam, (now) apprise them of the names of these things.’ So when Adam had told them the names of those things, (Allah) said: ‘Did I not tell you I know (all) the hidden realities of the heavens and the earth and also know all that you disclose and all that you conceal?’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 34[/INST]And (also recall the time) when We commanded the angels: ‘Prostrate yourselves before Adam.’ Then they all prostrated themselves to Adam except Iblis (Satan)He refused and showed arrogance and (consequently) became one of the disbelievers.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 35[/INST]And We ordained: ‘Adam, reside you and your wife in this Paradise and eat of it, both of you, whatever you like and from wherever you willBut do not go near this tree lest you (join) the transgressors.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 36[/INST]Then Satan shook them from that place and removed them from the (blissful) location where they wereAnd (eventually) We ordained: ‘Go down (and live in the earth); you will remain enemies to each other, and now in the earth has been destined a dwelling place and sustenance for you for a fixed time.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 37[/INST]Then Adam learnt some words (of humility and repentance) from his LordSo Allah accepted his repentanceSurely He is the One Who is Most Relenting, Ever-Merciful.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 38[/INST]We said: ‘Leave it (the Paradise and settle in the earth) all of youThen if there comes to you Guidance from Me, whoever will follow My Guidance, neither shall any fear (obsess) them nor shall they grieve.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 39[/INST]And those who disbelieve and deny Our Revelations, it is they who shall be the inmates of FireThey shall abide in it forever.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 40[/INST]O Children of Ya‘qub (Jacob)! Recall My favours which I bestowed upon you and fulfil the promise (made) to Me, I shall fulfil the promise (made) to youAnd always fear Me alone.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 41[/INST]And believe in (the Book) that I have revealed (to My Messenger Muhammad, [blessing and peace be upon him]) while it confirms (originally) that which you possessAnd do not be the first to deny it nor barter My Revelations for a small (worldly) priceAnd fear Me alone.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 42[/INST]And do not mix up the truth with falsehood nor conceal the truth deliberately.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 43[/INST]And establish Prayer and pay Zakat (the Alms-due) regularly and kneel down (together) with those who kneel down?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 44[/INST]Do you command others for piety and forget yourselves, while you (also) recite the Book (of Allah)? So, do you not think?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 45[/INST]And seek (Allah’s) help through patience and PrayerBut this is no doubt hard except for the humble (whose hearts have been softened with the Love of Allah and gripped with His Fear).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 46[/INST](It is they) who are certain that they are about to meet their Lord and to Him are they going to return.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 47[/INST]O Children of Ya‘qub (Jacob)! Recall those favours that I bestowed upon you and that I exalted you above all the people (of your age).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 48[/INST]And fear that Day when no soul shall be able to pay any compensation on behalf of anotherNor shall any intercession be accepted from him (of a person who shall not have Allah’s permission to intercede)Nor shall any compensation be accepted from him (for his own salvation)And they will not be helped (against Allah’s decree)</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 49[/INST]And (also call to your mind the time) when We delivered you from Pharaoh’s people, who used to inflict severe torment upon you: they slaughtered your sons and kept your daughters aliveThere was an arduously terrible trial in it from your Lord</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 50[/INST]And when We parted the river (to rescue you) and (in this way) delivered you and (on the contrary) We drowned Pharaoh’s people before your eyes.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 51[/INST]And (also recall the time) when We made an appointment with Musa (Moses) for forty nightsThen after Musa (Moses went into retreat) you took the calf as (your) god for worship and you were no doubt aweful transgressors.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 52[/INST]Then We pardoned you (even) after that so that you might give thanks.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 53[/INST]And when We bestowed upon Musa (Moses) the Book and the miracle distinguishing the truth from falsehood so that you might take the path of guidance.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 54[/INST]And when Musa (Moses) said to his people: ‘O my people, no doubt you have (seriously) wronged your own souls in taking the calf (as your god)Now turn in repentance to your Creator (the True Sustainer)So, kill one another (among yourselves so that those who have not taken the calf for worship and stuck to their religion should kill those who worshipped the calf as punishment for turning away from their religionThis (act) would be the best (repentance) for you in the sight of your Creator.’ Then He accepted your repentanceSurely, He is Most Relenting, Ever-Merciful.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 55[/INST]And when you said: ‘O Musa (Moses)! We will never believe in you until we see Allah completely unveiled (before our eyes).’ So, (on this) a thunder seized (and eliminated) you, and you kept watching (this spectacle yourselves).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 56[/INST]Then We brought you back to life after your death so that you pay (Us) thanks.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 57[/INST]And (recall) when We cast the shade of clouds over you (in the Tiha valley) and sent down for you manna and quails so that you might eat of the pure things We provided for youSo they did not harm Us at all (by disobeying and showing Us disregard) but harmed persistently their own souls.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 58[/INST]And (remember) when We said: ‘Enter this city and eat as much as you wish from wherever you desire but enter (the city) gate prostrating and praying: ‘(O our Lord!) We seek forgiveness (for all of our sins).’ We shall (then) forgive your (previous) sins and, (besides,) We shall bestow more (favours and blessings) upon the righteous.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 59[/INST]But (those) transgressors substituted some other phrase in place of that which was said to themSo We sent down a calamity from heaven on (those) evildoers (in the form of plague) because they were disobeying (persistently).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 60[/INST]And (recall also the time) when Musa (Moses) prayed for water for his peopleWe directed: ‘Strike that rock with your stick.’ Then twelve springs gushed out of that (rock)Verily each clan identified their respective drinking place(We said:) ‘Eat and drink of the sustenance (given) by Allah but do not seek doing mischief in the land.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 61[/INST]And when you said: ‘O Musa (Moses), we cannot be content with only one kind of food (i.emanna and quails), so pray to your Lord (in our favour) that He may bring forth for us of cultivated produce: green herbs, cucumbers, wheat, garlic, lentils and onions.’ (Musa [Moses]) said (to his people): ‘Do you demand something inferior in exchange for something superior? (And if that is what you wish then) go down to any citySurely (there) will be (available) all what you demand.’ Then dishonour and deprivation were brought upon them and they incurred the wrath of Allah because they used to deny the Signs of Allah and kill the Prophets unjustlyThis was also because they used to disobey and would (always) exceed limits.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 62[/INST]Verily, those who have believed, and (those who were) Jews and Christians and Sabians, those (of them) who believe in Allah and the Last Day and act piously, there is for them their reward with their LordNeither shall any fear obsess them, nor shall they grieve.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 63[/INST]And (recall) when We took a firm promise from you and raised the Mount of Sinai high above you, so that you hold fast firmly what We have given youAnd bear in mind whatever is (written) in this (Book, the Torah,) so that you become pious.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 64[/INST]Yet you turned back after this (promise and warning)So, had there not been Allah’s Bounty and His Mercy upon you, you would have been wrecked indeed.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 65[/INST]And, (O Jews,) certainly you know well those of you who violated (the injunctions concerning) the Sabbath (Saturday)So We said to them: ‘Be you apes, rejected and despised.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 66[/INST]So We made this (event) a lesson of warning for their contemporaries as well as for later generations, and (a source of) admonition for the pious.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 67[/INST]And (also recollect the event) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: ‘Verily, Allah enjoins you to sacrifice a cow.’ They said: ‘Do you make a fool of us?’ Musa (Moses) said: ‘I seek the protection of Allah (against) becoming one of the ignorant.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 68[/INST](Then) they said: ‘Pray for us to your Lord that He may make clear to us what kind of cow (that) shall be? (Musa [Moses]) said: ‘Certainly He ordains that the cow is to be neither old nor young (heifer), but in between (fully grown)So now implement what you have been ordered.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 69[/INST]They (again) said: ‘Pray to your Lord for us that He may specify what her colour should be.’ Musa (Moses) said: ‘He says, the cow should be yellow, rich in tone, (so attractive that) it pleases the viewers.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 70[/INST](This time) they said: ‘Pray for us to your Lord that He may make clear to us what exact type of cow it is (because) the cow has become doubtful to us, and if Allah so wills, we shall indeed be guided aright.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 71[/INST](Musa [Moses] said,) Allah has ordained: ‘(That is not any inferior cowInstead) it is certainly (a superior) cow, which has been employed neither for ploughing nor for watering the field, a cow in sound health, without any blemish.’ They said: ‘Now you (have) brought the truth.’ So they sacrificed it though they did not look like doing it?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 72[/INST]And when you killed a man then started disputing among yourselves (for its blame), and Allah was to unveil that event which you were concealing.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 73[/INST]Then We commanded: ‘Strike this (dead body) with a piece of this (cow).’ That is how Allah restores the dead to life (or will give life to the dead on the Day of Resurrection,) and shows you His Signs so that you may apply your knowledge and understanding</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 74[/INST]Then (even) after this your hearts hardenedSo (in hardness) they (have become) like stones or even harderFor of stones there are some from which streams burst out; and, certainly, some out of them are such (stones) that split up and water gushes out of them; and indeed there are others of them that fall due to fear of Allah(Alas! Your hearts have not remained even that much soft, tender and feeble) and Allah is not unaware of what you do.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 75[/INST](O Muslims!) Do you expect that they (the Jews) will believe in you whereas amongst them were people of a group who heard the Word of Allah (Taurat [the Torah]) then altered it (themselves) after understanding it, although they knew well (what the Truth was and what they were doing)?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 76[/INST]And (they have reached such state) when they meet the believers they say: ‘We (too) have believed (in Muhammad, blessing and peace be upon him, like you),’ and when they are together in isolation, they say: ‘Do you tell them (the Muslims) that which Allah has unfolded to you (through the Torah in connection with the Prophethood and glory of the last of the Prophets, Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him) so that they may use it in argument against you in the Holy Presence of your Lord? Do you not have (even this much) sense?’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 77[/INST]Are they not aware that Allah knows full well all that they hide and all that they show?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 78[/INST]And among them (the Jews, some) are illiterate (as well) who do not know (even the bare minimum about the meaning and connotations of) the Book (except hearsay and false hopes)They know only to recite (the Book) verbally and follow mere speculation and assumption.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 79[/INST]So, a serious disaster awaits those who write the Book with their own hands, then say: ‘This is from Allah,’ just to earn a paltry price against thatSo they will face destruction (owing to the Book) that their hands have written and (for the compensation) that they are earning.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 80[/INST]And they (the Jews also) say: ‘The Fire (of Hell) shall not touch us except for a small number of days.’ (Just) ask (them): ‘Have you obtained (such) a promise from Allah?’ Then He will never violate His promiseOr do you make inadvertently (such an) allegation against Allah which you do not know yourselves.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 81[/INST]Of course he who adopts evil and is encompassed by his sins, it is they who are the inmates of HellThey are its permanent residents.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 82[/INST]And those who have believed and have done pious deeds, it is they who are the inhabitants of ParadiseThey shall live there forever.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 83[/INST]And (remember) when We took a firm promise from the Children of Ya‘qub (Jacob): ‘Do not worship (anyone) besides Allah, and be nice to the parents and (do good to) the kindred and orphans and the needyAnd (also) talk of piety to the common people (in a polite and nice manner)And establish Prayer and pay on Zakat (the Alms-due).’ Then, except a few, all the rest of you turned back (from the promise,) and you are but averse (to the Truth).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 84[/INST]And when We took from you (this) solemn covenant (as well): ‘You shall not shed one another’s blood (among yourselves) nor shall you expel your people (from their homes and townships).’ Then you agreed (to implement it) and you (also) bear witness (to it).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 85[/INST]Yet it is you who are killing your own people and banishing a section of your own folk from their homeland, and (furthermore) helping (their enemies) with sin and transgression against themAnd if they come to you as captives, you ransom their release (so that they remain obliged to you) whereas it had been forbidden to you to exile them from their homelandDo you believe in some parts of the Book and deny some others? So he who does so from amongst you, what can be his punishment but disgrace (and humiliation) in the worldly life and (also) on the Day of Resurrection (such people) will be returned to the most ruthless tormentAnd Allah is not unaware of your deeds.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 86[/INST]It is they who have purchased the worldly life for the HereafterSo neither will their torment be lessened nor will they be helped.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 87[/INST]And surely We gave Musa (Moses) the Book (the Torah) and sent (many) Messengers after him in successionAnd We gave ‘Isa, son of Maryam, (Jesus, son of Mary,) as well luminous Signs and strengthened (and supported) him by means of the Holy SpiritBut (what followed is that) whenever a Messenger brought to you (the Commandments) whom your (ill-commanding) selves disliked, you adamantly resisted there and thenYou belied some of them and started killing others.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 88[/INST]And the Jews said: ‘Our hearts are wrapped up in covers.’ (Nay,) but Allah has cursed them for their revolt against faithSo, little do they believe.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 89[/INST]And when the Book (the Qur’an) came to them from Allah which (originally) validates that Book (the Torah) which was with them, whereas, before this, they themselves used to pray for victory over the disbelievers (through the intermediation of the Last Prophet, Muhammad, [blessing and peace be upon him,] and the Holy Qur’an revealed to him), but when came to them the same Prophet (Muhammad, blessing and peace be upon him, along with the Book revealed to him, the Qur’an) whom they had (already) recognized, they denied himSo Allah’s curse is upon such (deliberate) disbelievers</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 90[/INST]How evil a bargain they made in exchange for their lives: that they deny the Book revealed by Allah merely begrudging that Allah bestows (His revelation) out of His Bounty upon any of His servants He willsSo they earned manifold wrath of Allah and there is a humiliating torment for the disbelievers.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 2 verse 91[/INST]And when it is said to them: ‘Believe in this (Book) which Allah has (now) revealed,’ they say: ‘We believe only in that (Book) which was revealed to us,’ and they deny all other than that, whereas this (Qur’an) is (also) the Truth (and) confirms that (Book as well) which they possessAsk (them): ‘Then why have you been killing the Prophets of Allah before this if you (really) believe (but in your own Book)?</s>
