Surah al-Baqarah Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

2:81

بَلٰى مَنْ كَسَبَ سَیِّئَةً وَّ اَحَاطَتْ بِهٖ خَطِیْٓــٴَـتُهٗ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(۸۱)

Why, they who have earned the wages of sin and are enclosed in error, are people of Hell, where they will abide for ever.

2:82

وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۠(۸۲)

But those who believe and do good deeds are people of Paradise, and shall live there forever.

2:83

وَ اِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ لَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ- وَ بِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًا وَّ ذِی الْقُرْبٰى وَ الْیَتٰمٰى وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَ قُوْلُوْا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا وَّ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَؕ-ثُمَّ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّنْكُمْ وَ اَنْتُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ(۸۳)

Remember, when We made a covenant with the people of Israel and said: "Worship no one but God, and be good to your parents and your kin, and to orphans and the needy, and speak of goodness to men; observe your devotional obligations, and give zakat (the due share of your wealth for the welfare of others)," you went back (on your word), except only a few, and paid no heed.

2:84

وَ اِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَكُمْ لَا تَسْفِكُوْنَ دِمَآءَكُمْ وَ لَا تُخْرِجُوْنَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ مِّنْ دِیَارِكُمْ ثُمَّ اَقْرَرْتُمْ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُوْنَ(۸۴)

And remember, when We made a covenant with you whereby you agreed you will neither shed blood among you nor turn your people out of their homes, you promised, and are witness to it too.

2:85

ثُمَّ اَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ تَقْتُلُوْنَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ تُخْرِجُوْنَ فَرِیْقًا مِّنْكُمْ مِّنْ دِیَارِهِمْ٘-تَظٰهَرُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِالْاِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِؕ-وَ اِنْ یَّاْتُوْكُمْ اُسٰرٰى تُفٰدُوْهُمْ وَ هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَیْكُمْ اِخْرَاجُهُمْؕ-اَفَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ بِبَعْضٍۚ-فَمَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ یَّفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ اِلَّا خِزْیٌ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاۚ-وَ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ یُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰۤى اَشَدِّ الْعَذَابِؕ-وَ مَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(۸۵)

But you still kill one another, and you turn a section of your people from their homes, assisting one another against them with guilt and oppression. Yet when they are brought to you as captives you ransom them, although forbidden it was to drive them away.

2:86

اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ اشْتَرَوُا الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا بِالْاٰخِرَةِ٘-فَلَا یُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَ لَا هُمْ یُنْصَرُوْنَ۠(۸۶)

Do you, then, believe a part of the Book and reject a part? There is no other award for them who so act but disgrace in the world, and on the Day of Judgement the severest of punishment; for God is not heedless of all that you do.

2:87

وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ وَ قَفَّیْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ بِالرُّسُلِ٘-وَ اٰتَیْنَا عِیْسَى ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ اَیَّدْنٰهُ بِرُوْحِ الْقُدُسِؕ-اَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوٰۤى اَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْۚ-فَفَرِیْقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ٘-وَ فَرِیْقًا تَقْتُلُوْنَ(۸۷)

They are those who bought the life of the world at the cost of the life to come; and neither will their torment decrease nor help reach them.

2:88

وَ قَالُوْا قُلُوْبُنَا غُلْفٌؕ-بَلْ لَّعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَلِیْلًا مَّا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۸۸)

Remember We gave Moses the Book and sent after him many an apostle; and to Jesus, son of Mary, We gave clear evidence of the truth, reinforcing him with divine grace. Even so, when a messenger brought to you what did not suit your mood you turned haughty, and called some imposters and some others you slew.

2:89

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ كِتٰبٌ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْۙ-وَ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ یَسْتَفْتِحُوْنَ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْاۚ-فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ مَّا عَرَفُوْا كَفَرُوْا بِهٖ٘-فَلَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۸۹)

And they say: "Our hearts are enfolded in covers." In fact God has cursed them for their unbelief; and only a little do they believe.

2:90

بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْا بِهٖۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ اَنْ یَّكْفُرُوْا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بَغْیًا اَنْ یُّنَزِّلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ عَلٰى مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖۚ-فَبَآءُوْ بِغَضَبٍ عَلٰى غَضَبٍؕ-وَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ(۹۰)

And when the Book was sent to them by God verifying what had been revealed to them already even though before it they used to pray for victory over the unbelievers and even though they recognised it when it came to them, they renounced it. The curse of God be on those who deny!

2:91

وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ اٰمِنُوْا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوْا نُؤْمِنُ بِمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْنَا وَ یَكْفُرُوْنَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهٗۗ-وَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَهُمْؕ-قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُوْنَ اَنْۢبِیَآءَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ(۹۱)

They bartered their lives ill denying the revelation of God out of spite that God should bestow His grace among His votaries on whomsoever He will, and thus earned wrath upon wrath. The punishment for disbelievers is ignominious.

2:92

وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ مُّوْسٰى بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِجْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ وَ اَنْتُمْ ظٰلِمُوْنَ(۹۲)

And when it is said to them: "believe in what God has sent down," they say: "We believe what was sent to us, and do not believe what has come thereafter," although it affirms the truth they possess already. Say: "Why have you then been slaying God´s apostles as of old, if you do believe?"

2:93

وَ اِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَكُمْ وَ رَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّوْرَؕ-خُذُوْا مَاۤ اٰتَیْنٰكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَّ اسْمَعُوْاؕ-قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَ عَصَیْنَاۗ-وَ اُشْرِبُوْا فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْؕ-قُلْ بِئْسَمَا یَاْمُرُكُمْ بِهٖۤ اِیْمَانُكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ(۹۳)

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

2:94

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَتْ لَكُمُ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَالِصَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ(۹۴)

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!"

2:95

وَ لَنْ یَّتَمَنَّوْهُ اَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَیْدِیْهِمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۹۵)

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."

2:96

وَ لَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ اَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلٰى حَیٰوةٍۚۛ-وَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْاۚۛ-یَوَدُّ اَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ یُعَمَّرُ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍۚ-وَ مَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهٖ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ اَنْ یُّعَمَّرَؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بَصِیْرٌۢ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ۠(۹۶)

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

2:97

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِیْلَ فَاِنَّهٗ نَزَّلَهٗ عَلٰى قَلْبِكَ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ وَ هُدًى وَّ بُشْرٰى لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۹۷)

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.

2:98

مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّلّٰهِ وَ مَلٰٓىٕكَتِهٖ وَ رُسُلِهٖ وَ جِبْرِیْلَ وَ مِیْكٰىلَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَدُوٌّ لِّلْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۹۸)

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, --

2:99

وَ لَقَدْ اَنْزَلْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ اٰیٰتٍۭ بَیِّنٰتٍۚ-وَ مَا یَكْفُرُ بِهَاۤ اِلَّا الْفٰسِقُوْنَ(۹۹)

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

2:100

اَوَ كُلَّمَا عٰهَدُوْا عَهْدًا نَّبَذَهٗ فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمْؕ-بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱۰۰)

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

2:101

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِیْقٌ مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَۗۙ-كِتٰبَ اللّٰهِ وَرَآءَ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ كَاَنَّهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ٘(۱۰۱)

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

2:102

وَ اتَّبَعُوْا مَا تَتْلُوا الشَّیٰطِیْنُ عَلٰى مُلْكِ سُلَیْمٰنَۚ-وَ مَا كَفَرَ سُلَیْمٰنُ وَ لٰكِنَّ الشَّیٰطِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُعَلِّمُوْنَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَۗ-وَ مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَیْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوْتَ وَ مَارُوْتَؕ-وَ مَا یُعَلِّمٰنِ مِنْ اَحَدٍ حَتّٰى یَقُوْلَاۤ اِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْؕ-فَیَتَعَلَّمُوْنَ مِنْهُمَا مَا یُفَرِّقُوْنَ بِهٖ بَیْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَ زَوْجِهٖؕ-وَ مَا هُمْ بِضَآرِّیْنَ بِهٖ مِنْ اَحَدٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-وَ یَتَعَلَّمُوْنَ مَا یَضُرُّهُمْ وَ لَا یَنْفَعُهُمْؕ-وَ لَقَدْ عَلِمُوْا لَمَنِ اشْتَرٰىهُ مَا لَهٗ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ ﳴ وَ لَبِئْسَ مَا شَرَوْا بِهٖۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْؕ-لَوْ كَانُوْا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۱۰۲)

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.

2:103

وَ لَوْ اَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوْا وَ اتَّقَوْا لَمَثُوْبَةٌ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌؕ-لَوْ كَانُوْا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۠(۱۰۳)

And they follow what devilish beings used to chant against the authority of Solomon, though Solomon never disbelieved and only the devils denied, who taught sorcery to men, which, they said, had been revealed to the angels of Babylon, Harut and Marut, who, however, never taught it without saying: "We have been sent to deceive you, so do not renounce (your faith)." They learnt what led to discord between husband and wife. Yet they could not harm any one or without the dispensation of God. And they learnt what harmed them and brought no gain. They knew indeed whoever bought this had no place in the world to come, and that surely they had sold themselves for something that was vile. If only they had sense!

2:104

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَقُوْلُوْا رَاعِنَا وَ قُوْلُوا انْظُرْنَا وَ اسْمَعُوْاؕ-وَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۱۰۴)

Had they come to believe instead, and taken heed for themselves, they would surely have earned from God a far better reward. If only they had sense!

2:105

مَا یَوَدُّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ لَا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ اَنْ یُّنَزَّلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ خَیْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیْمِ(۱۰۵)

Say not (to the Prophet), O Believers: "Have regard for us (ra´ina)," but "look at us (unzurna)," and obey him in what he says. Painful is the nemesis for disbelievers.

2:106

مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ اٰیَةٍ اَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَاْتِ بِخَیْرٍ مِّنْهَاۤ اَوْ مِثْلِهَاؕ-اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۱۰۶)

Those without faith among the people of the Book, and those who worship idols, do not wish that good should come to you from your Lord. But God chooses whom He likes for His grace; and the bounty of God is infinite.

2:107

اَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّ لَا نَصِیْرٍ(۱۰۷)

When We cancel a message (sent to an earlier prophet) or throw it into oblivion, We replace it with one better or one similar. Do you not know that God has power over all things?

2:108

اَمْ تُرِیْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَسْــٴَـلُوْا رَسُوْلَكُمْ كَمَا سُىٕلَ مُوْسٰى مِنْ قَبْلُؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّتَبَدَّلِ الْكُفْرَ بِالْاِیْمَانِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِیْلِ(۱۰۸)

Do you not know that God´s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that there is none to save and protect you apart from God?

2:109

وَدَّ كَثِیْرٌ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ لَوْ یَرُدُّوْنَكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ اِیْمَانِكُمْ كُفَّارًا ۚۖ-حَسَدًا مِّنْ عِنْدِ اَنْفُسِهِمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّۚ-فَاعْفُوْا وَ اصْفَحُوْا حَتّٰى یَاْتِیَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِهٖؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ(۱۰۹)

Do you too, O believers, wish to question your Apostle as Moses was in the past? But he who takes unbelief in exchange for belief only strays from the right path.

2:110

وَ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَؕ-وَ مَا تُقَدِّمُوْا لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ مِّنْ خَیْرٍ تَجِدُوْهُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ(۱۱۰)

How many of the followers of the Books having once known the truth desire in their hearts, out of envy, to turn you into infidels again even after the truth has become clear to them! But you forbear and overlook till God fulfil His plan; and God has power over all things.

2:111

وَ قَالُوْا لَنْ یَّدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ اِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ هُوْدًا اَوْ نَصٰرٰىؕ-تِلْكَ اَمَانِیُّهُمْؕ-قُلْ هَاتُوْا بُرْهَانَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ(۱۱۱)

Fulfil your devotional obligations and pay the zakat. And what you send ahead of good you will find with God, for He sees all that you do ill.

2:112

بَلٰىۗ-مَنْ اَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهٗ لِلّٰهِ وَ هُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهٗۤ اَجْرُهٗ عِنْدَ رَبِّهٖ ۪-وَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ لَا هُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ۠(۱۱۲)

And they say: "None will go to Paradise but the Jews and the Christians;" but this is only wishful thinking. Say: "Bring the proof if you are truthful."

2:113

وَ قَالَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ لَیْسَتِ النَّصٰرٰى عَلٰى شَیْءٍ ۪-وَّ قَالَتِ النَّصٰرٰى لَیْسَتِ الْیَهُوْدُ عَلٰى شَیْءٍۙ-وَّ هُمْ یَتْلُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَؕ-كَذٰلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْۚ-فَاللّٰهُ یَحْكُمُ بَیْنَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فِیْمَا كَانُوْا فِیْهِ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ(۱۱۳)

Only he who surrenders to God with all his heart and also does good, will find his reward with his Lord, and will have no fear or regret.

2:114

وَ مَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ مَّنَعَ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ یُّذْكَرَ فِیْهَا اسْمُهٗ وَ سَعٰى فِیْ خَرَابِهَاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ اَنْ یَّدْخُلُوْهَاۤ اِلَّا خَآىٕفِیْنَ۬ؕ-لَهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا خِزْیٌ وَّ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ(۱۱۴)

The Jews say: "The Christians are not right," and the Christians say: "The Jews are in the wrong;" yet both read the Scriptures; and this is what the unread had said too. God alone will judge between them in their differences on the Day of Reckoning.

2:115

وَ لِلّٰهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَ الْمَغْرِبُۗ-فَاَیْنَمَا تُوَلُّوْا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۱۱۵)

And who is more unjust than he who prohibits the name of God being used in His mosques, who hurries to despoil them even though he has no right to enter them except in reverence? For them is ignominy in the world and severe punishment in the life to come.

2:116

وَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدًاۙ-سُبْحٰنَهٗؕ-بَلْ لَّهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-كُلٌّ لَّهٗ قٰنِتُوْنَ(۱۱۶)

To God belong the East and the West. Wherever you turn the glory of God is everywhere: All-pervading is He and all-knowing.

2:117

بَدِیْعُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-وَ اِذَا قَضٰۤى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا یَقُوْلُ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ(۱۱۷)

Yet they say that God has begotten a son. May He be praised! Indeed everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him, and all are obedient to God.

2:118

وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ لَوْ لَا یُكَلِّمُنَا اللّٰهُ اَوْ تَاْتِیْنَاۤ اٰیَةٌؕ-كَذٰلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْؕ-تَشَابَهَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْؕ-قَدْ بَیَّنَّا الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یُّوْقِنُوْنَ(۱۱۸)

Creator of the heavens and the earth from nothingness, He has only to say when He wills a thing: "Be", and it is.

2:119

اِنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِیْرًا وَّ نَذِیْرًاۙ-وَّ لَا تُسْــٴَـلُ عَنْ اَصْحٰبِ الْجَحِیْمِ(۱۱۹)

But those who are ignorant say: "Why does God not speak or show us a sign?" The same question had been asked by men before them, who were like them in their hearts. But to those who are firm in their faith We have shown Our signs already.

2:120

وَ لَنْ تَرْضٰى عَنْكَ الْیَهُوْدُ وَ لَا النَّصٰرٰى حَتّٰى تَتَّبِـعَ مِلَّتَهُمْؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىؕ-وَ لَىٕنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ بَعْدَ الَّذِیْ جَآءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ-مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّ لَا نَصِیْرٍؔ(۱۲۰)

And We have sent you with the truth to give glad tidings and to warn. You will not be questioned about those and who are inmates of Hell.
