2 - Al-Baqara

وَلَقَدْ جَاۗءَكُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِـجْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِہٖ وَاَنْتُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ۝۹۲
Walaqad jaakum moosa bialbayyinati thumma ittakhathtumu alAAijla min baAAdihi waantum thalimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Although Moses had come to you with evidence of the truth, you chose the calf in his absence, and you transgressed.

92

وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِيْثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّوْرَ۝۰ۭ خُذُوْا مَاۗ اٰتَيْنٰكُمْ بِقُوَّۃٍ وَّاسْمَعُوْا۝۰ۭ قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا۝۰ۤ وَاُشْرِبُوْا فِيْ قُلُوْبِہِمُ الْعِـجْلَ بِكُفْرِھِمْ۝۰ۭ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَاْمُرُكُمْ بِہٖۗ اِيْمَانُكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ ￁مِنِيْنَ۝۹۳
Waith akhathna meethaqakum warafaAAna fawqakumu alttoora khuthoo ma ataynakum biquwwatin waismaAAoo qaloo samiAAna waAAasayna waoshriboo fee quloobihimu alAAijla bikufrihim qul bisama yamurukum bihi eemanukum in kuntum mumineena

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember when We took your pledge and exalted you on the Mount (saying:) "Hold fast to what We have given you, firmly, and pay heed," you said: "We have heard and will not obey." (The image of) the calf had sunk deep into their hearts on account of unbelief. Say: "Vile is your belief if you are believers indeed!"

93

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَتْ لَكُمُ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَۃُ عِنْدَ اللہِ خَالِصَۃً مِّنْ دُوْنِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ۝۹۴
Qul in kanat lakumu alddaru alakhiratu AAinda Allahi khalisatan min dooni alnnasi fatamannawoo almawta in kuntum sadiqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Tell them: "If you think you alone will abide with God to the exclusion of the rest of Mankind, in the mansions of the world to come, then wish for death if what you say is true."

94

وَ لَنْ يَّـتَمَنَّوْہُ اَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْہِمْ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِــمِيْنَ۝۹۵
Walan yatamannawhu abadan bima qaddamat aydeehim waAllahu AAaleemun bialththalimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

But they will surely not wish for death because of what they had done in the past; and God knows the sinners well.

95

وَلَتَجِدَنَّھُمْ اَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلٰي حَيٰوۃٍ۝۰ۚۛ وَمِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اَشْرَكُــوْا۝۰ۚۛ يَوَدُّ اَحَدُ ھُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ اَلْفَ سَـنَۃٍ۝۰ۚ وَمَا ھُوَبِمُزَحْزِحِہٖ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ اَنْ يُّعَمَّرَ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ بَصِيْرٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۹۶ۧ
Walatajidannahum ahrasa alnnasi AAala hayatin wamina allatheena ashrakoo yawaddu ahaduhum law yuAAammaru alfa sanatin wama huwa bimuzahzihihi mina alAAathabi an yuAAammara waAllahu baseerun bima yaAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

You will see they are covetous of life more than other men, even more than those who practise idolatry. Each one of them desires to live a thousand years, although longevity will never save them from punishment, for God sees all they do.

96

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيْلَ فَاِنَّہٗ نَزَّلَہٗ عَلٰي قَلْبِكَ بِـاِذْنِ اللہِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْہِ وَھُدًى وَّبُشْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ۝۹۷
Qul man kana AAaduwwan lijibreela fainnahu nazzalahu AAala qalbika biithni Allahi musaddiqan lima bayna yadayhi wahudan wabushra lilmumineena

English

Ahmed Ali

Say: "Whosoever is the enemy of Gabriel who revealed the word of God to you by the dispensation of God, reaffirming what had been revealed before, and is a guidance and good news for those who believe, --

97

مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّلہِ وَمَلٰۗىِٕكَتِہٖ وَرُسُلِہٖ وَجِبْرِيْلَ وَمِيْكٰىلَ فَاِنَّ اللہَ عَدُوٌّ لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ۝۹۸
Man kana AAaduwwan lillahi wamalaikatihi warusulihi wajibreela wameekala fainna Allaha AAaduwwun lilkafireena

English

Ahmed Ali

Whosoever is the enemy of God and His angels and apostles, and of Gabriel and Michael, then God is the enemy of such unbelievers."

98

وَلَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۗ اِلَيْكَ اٰيٰتٍؚبَيِّنٰتٍ۝۰ۚ وَمَا يَكْفُرُ بِہَاۗ اِلَّا الْفٰسِقُوْنَ۝۹۹
Walaqad anzalna ilayka ayatin bayyinatin wama yakfuru biha illa alfasiqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

We have sent clear signs to you, such as none can deny except those who transgress the truth.

99

اَوَكُلَّمَا عٰھَدُوْا عَہْدًا نَّبَذَہٗ فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْھُمْ۝۰ۭ بَلْ اَكْثَرُھُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ۝۱۰۰
Awakullama AAahadoo AAahdan nabathahu fareequn minhum bal aktharuhum la yuminoona

English

Ahmed Ali

And every time they made a pledge some of them pushed it aside, and many of them do not believe.

100

وَلَمَّا جَاۗءَھُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللہِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَھُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيْـقٌ مِّنَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ۝۰ۤۙ كِتٰبَ اللہِ وَرَاۗءَ ظُہُوْرِھِمْ كَاَنَّھُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۱۰۱ۡ
Walamma jaahum rasoolun min AAindi Allahi musaddiqun lima maAAahum nabatha fareequn mina allatheena ootoo alkitaba kitaba Allahi waraa thuhoorihim kaannahum la yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

When a messenger was sent to them by God affirming the Books they had already received, some of them put (His message) behind their backs as if they had no knowledge of it.
