2 - Al-Baqara

تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَھُمْ عَلٰي بَعْضٍ۝۰ۘ مِنْھُمْ مَّنْ كَلَّمَ اللہُ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَھُمْ دَرَجٰتٍ۝۰ۭ وَاٰتَيْنَا عِيْسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنٰتِ وَاَيَّدْنٰہُ بِرُوْحِ الْقُدُسِ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ مَا اقْتَتَلَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِھِمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۗءَتْھُمُ الْبَيِّنٰتُ وَلٰكِنِ اخْتَلَفُوْا فَمِنْھُمْ مَّنْ اٰمَنَ وَمِنْھُمْ مَّنْ كَفَرَ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ مَا اقْتَتَلُوْا۝۰ۣ وَلٰكِنَّ اللہَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيْدُ۝۲۵۳ۧ

Ahmed Ali

Of all these apostles We have favoured some over the others. God has addressed some of them, and the stations of some have been exalted over the others. And to Jesus, son of Mary, We gave tokens, and reinforced him with divine grace. If God had so willed those who came after them would never have contended when clear signs had come to them. But dissensions arose, some believed, some denied. And if God had willed they would never have fought among themselves. But God does whatsoever He please.

253

يٰۗاَيُّہَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْۗا اَنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّاْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا بَيْعٌ فِيْہِ وَلَا خُلَّۃٌ وَّلَا شَفَاعَۃٌ۝۰ۭ وَالْكٰفِرُوْنَ ھُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۲۵۴
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo anfiqoo mimma razaqnakum min qabli an yatiya yawmun la bayAAun feehi wala khullatun wala shafaAAatun waalkafiroona humu alththalimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

O believers, expend of what We have given you before the day arrives on which there will be no barter, and no friendship or intercession matter, and those who are disbelievers will be sinners.

254

English

Ahmed Ali

God: There is no god but He, the living, eternal, self-subsisting, ever sustaining. Neither does somnolence affect Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth: and who can intercede with Him except by His leave? Known to Him is all that is present before men and what is hidden (in time past and time future), and not even a little of His knowledge can they grasp except what He will. His seat extends over heavens and the earth, and He tires not protecting them: He alone is all high and supreme.

255

لَاۗ اِكْرَاہَ فِي الدِّيْنِ۝۰ۣۙ قَدْ تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ۝۰ۚ فَمَنْ يَّكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوْتِ وَيُؤْمِنْۢ بِاللہِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَۃِ الْوُثْقٰى۝۰ۤ لَاانْفِصَامَ لَہَا۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ۝۲۵۶
La ikraha fee alddeeni qad tabayyana alrrushdu mina alghayyi faman yakfur bialttaghooti wayumin biAllahi faqadi istamsaka bialAAurwati alwuthqa la infisama laha waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

There is no compulsion in matter of faith. Distinct is the way of guidance now from error. He who turns away from the forces of evil and believes in God, will surely hold fast to a handle that is strong and unbreakable, for God hears all and knows everything.

256

اَللہُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا۝۰ۙ يُخْرِجُہُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ۝۰ۥۭ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۗا اَوْلِيٰۗــــُٔــھُمُ الطَّاغُوْتُ۝۰ۙ يُخْرِجُوْنَـھُمْ مِّنَ النُّوْرِ اِلَى الظُّلُمٰتِ۝۰ۭ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ۝۰ۚ ھُمْ فِيْہَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۝۲۵۷ۧ
Allahu waliyyu allatheena amanoo yukhrijuhum mina alththulumati ila alnnoori waallatheena kafaroo awliyaohumu alttaghootu yukhrijoonahum mina alnnoori ila alththulumati olaika ashabu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona

English

Ahmed Ali

God is the friend of those who believe, and leads them out of darkness into light; but the patrons of infidels are idols and devils who lead them from light into darkness. They are the residents of Hell, and will there for ever abide.

257

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْ حَاۗجَّ اِبْرٰھٖمَ فِيْ رَبِّہٖۗ اَنْ اٰتٰىہُ اللہُ الْمُلْكَ۝۰ۘ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰھٖمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِيْ يُـحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُ۝۰ۙ قَالَ اَنَا اُحْيٖ وَاُمِيْتُ۝۰ۭ قَالَ اِبْرٰھٖمُ فَاِنَّ اللہَ يَاْتِيْ بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَاْتِ بِہَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُہِتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ لَا يَہْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِـمِيْنَ۝۲۵۸ۚ

English

Ahmed Ali

Have you thought of the man who argued with Abraham about his Lord because God had given him a kingdom? When Abraham said: "My Lord is the giver of life and death," he replied: "I am the giver of life and death." And Abraham said: "God makes the sun rise from the East; so you make it rise from the West," and dumbfounded was the infidel. God does not guide those who are unjust.

258

اَوْ كَالَّذِيْ مَرَّ عَلٰي قَرْيَۃٍ وَّ ہِيَ خَاوِيَۃٌ عَلٰي عُرُوْشِہَا۝۰ۚ قَالَ اَنّٰى يُـحْيٖ ھٰذِہِ اللہُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِہَا۝۰ۚ فَاَمَاتَہُ اللہُ مِائَـۃَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ بَعَثَہٗ۝۰ۭ قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتَ۝۰ۭ قَالَ لَبِثْتُ يَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ۝۰ۭ قَالَ بَلْ لَّبِثْتَ مِائَۃَ عَامٍ فَانْظُرْ اِلٰى طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَـنَّہْ۝۰ۚ وَانْظُرْ اِلٰى حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ اٰيَۃً لِّلنَّاسِ وَانْظُرْ اِلَى الْعِظَامِ كَيْفَ نُنْشِزُھَا ثُمَّ نَكْسُوْھَا لَحْــمًا۝۰ۭ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَہٗ۝۰ۙ قَالَ اَعْلَمُ اَنَّ اللہَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۝۲۵۹

Ahmed Ali

Or take the man who passed by a town which lay destroyed upside down. He said: "How can God restore this city now that it is destroyed?" So God made him die for a hundred years, then brought him back to life, and inquired: "How long did you stay in this state?" "A day or less than a day," he replied. "No," He said, "you were dead a hundred years, yet look at your victuals, they have not decomposed; and look at your ass! We shall make you a warning for men. And regard the bones, how We raise them and clothe them with flesh." When this became clear to him, the man said: "Indeed God has power over all things."

259

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰھٖمُ رَبِّ اَرِنِيْ كَيْفَ تُـحْيِ الْمَوْتٰى۝۰ۭ قَالَ اَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ۝۰ۭ قَالَ بَلٰي وَلٰكِنْ لِّيَطْمَىِٕنَّ قَلْبِىْ۝۰ۭ قَالَ فَخُـذْ اَرْبَعَۃً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِ فَصُرْھُنَّ اِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلٰي كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْہُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُہُنَّ يَاْتِيْنَكَ سَعْيًا۝۰ۭ وَاعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللہَ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ۝۲۶۰ۧ

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember, when Abraham said: "O Lord, show me how you raise the dead," He said: "What! Do you not believe?" "I do," answered Abraham. "I only ask for my heart's assurance." (The Lord) said: "Trap four birds and tame them, then put each of them on a (separate) hill, and call them, and they will come flying to you. Know that God is all-powerful and all-wise."

260

مَثَلُ الَّذِيْنَ يُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَھُمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّۃٍ اَنْۢبَتَتْ سَـبْعَ سَـنَابِلَ فِيْ كُلِّ سُنْۢبُلَۃٍ مِّائَۃُ حَبَّۃٍ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ يُضٰعِفُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيْمٌ۝۲۶۱
Mathalu allatheena yunfiqoona amwalahum fee sabeeli Allahi kamathali habbatin anbatat sabAAa sanabila fee kulli sunbulatin miatu habbatin waAllahu yudaAAifu liman yashao waAllahu wasiAAun AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

The semblance of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is that of a grain of corn from which grow seven ears, each ear containing a hundred grains. Truly God increases for whomsoever He will, for God is infinite and all-wise.

261

اَلَّذِيْنَ يُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَھُمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللہِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُوْنَ مَاۗ اَنْفَقُوْا مَنًّا وَّلَاۗ اَذًى۝۰ۙ لَّھُمْ اَجْرُھُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّہِمْ۝۰ۚ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْہِمْ وَلَا ھُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ۝۲۶۲
Allatheena yunfiqoona amwalahum fee sabeeli Allahi thumma la yutbiAAoona ma anfaqoo mannan wala athan lahum ajruhum AAinda rabbihim wala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who spend in the way of God, and having spent do not boast or give pain (by word or deed), will get their reward from their Lord, and will neither have fear nor regret.
