And remember you said: "O Moses!
we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech your Lord
for us to produce for us of what the earth grows its pot-herbs and
cucumbers its garlic lentils and onions." He said: "will
you exchange the better for the worse? Go you down to any town and
you shall find what you want!" They were covered with humiliation
and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because
they went on rejecting the signs of Allah and slaying His messengers
without just cause. This because They rebelled and went on transgressing. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 62. |
Those who believe (in
the Qur-an) and those who follow
the Jewish (Scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians and who believe in Allah and the
last day and work righteousness shall have their reward with their
Lord; on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 63. |
And remember We took your covenant
and We raised above you (the
towering height) of Mount (Sinai) (saying):
"Hold firmly to what We have given you and bring (ever) to remembrance what is therein perchance you may fear Allah." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 64. |
But you turned back thereafter had
it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah to you, you had surely
been among the lost. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 65. |
And well you knew those amongst you
who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath; We said to them: "Be
you apes despised and rejected." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 66. |
So We made it an example to their own
time and to their posterity and a lesson to those who fear Allah. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 67. |
And remember Moses said to his people:
"Allah commands that you sacrifice a heifer." They said:
"Makes you a laughing-stock of us?" He said: "Allah
save me from being an ignorant (fool)!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 68. |
They said: "Beseech on our behalf
your Lord to make plain to us what (heifer) it is! He said: "He
says: The heifer should be neither too old nor too young but of middling
age; now do what you are commanded!. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 69. |
They said: "Beseech on our behalf
your Lord to make plain to us her color." He said: " He
says a fawn-colored heifer pure and rich in tone the admiration of
beholders!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 70. |
They said "Beseech on our behalf
your Lord to make plain to us what she is to us are all heifers alike;
we wish indeed for guidance if Allah wills." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 71. |
He said: "He says a heifer not
trained to till the soil or water the fields; sound and without blemish."
They said: "Now have you brought the truth." Then they offered
her in sacrifice but not with good-will. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 72. |
Remember you slew a man and fell into
a dispute among yourselves as to the crime but Allah was to bring
forth what you did hide. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 73. |
So We said: "Strike the (body) with a piece of the (heifer)."
Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you His Signs perchance
you may understand. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 74. |
Thenceforth were your hearts hardened;
they became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks
there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which
when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear
of Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what you do. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 75. |
Can you (O
you men of Faith) entertain
the hope that they will believe in you? Seeing that a party of them
heard the word of Allah and perverted it knowingly after they understood
it. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 76. |
Behold! when they meet the men of Faith
they say: "We believe" but when they meet each other in
private they say: "Shall you tell them what Allah has revealed
to you that they may engage you in argument about it before your Lord?"
Do you not understand (their
aim)? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 77. |
Know they not that Allah knows what
they conceal and what they reveal? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 78. |
And there are among them illiterates
who know not the Book but (see
therein their own) desires and
they do nothing but conjecture. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 79. |
Then woe to those who write the Book
with their own hands and then say: "This is from Allah"
to traffic with it for a miserable price! Woe to them for what their
hands do write and for the gain they make thereby. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 80. |
And they say: "The fire shall
not touch us but for a few numbered days"; Say: "Have you
taken a promise from Allah for He never breaks His promise? Or is
it that you say of Allah what you do not know?" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 81. |
Nay those who seek gain in Evil and
are girt round by their sins they are Companions of the Fire therein
shall they abide (for ever). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 82. |
But those who have faith and work righteousness
they are Companions of the Garden therein shall they abide (for
ever). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 83. |
And remember We took a covenant from
the children of Israel (to this
effect): worship none but Allah;
treat with kindness your parents and kindred and orphans and those
in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practice
regular charity. Then did you turn back except a few among you and
you backslide (even now). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 84. |
And remember We took your Covenant (to this effect):
shed no blood amongst you nor turn out your own people from your homes;
and this you solemnly ratified and to this you can bear witness. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 85. |
After this it is you the same people
who slay among yourselves and banish a party of you from their homes;
assist (their enemies) against them in guilt and rancor; and if they come to you as captives
you ransom them though it was not lawful for you to banish them. Then
is it only a part of the Book that you believe in and do you reject
the rest? But what is the reward for those among you who behave like
this but disgrace in this life? and on the Day of Judgment they shall
be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful
of what you do. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 86. |
These are the people who buy the life
of this world at the price of the Hereafter; their penalty shall not
be lightened nor shall they be helped. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 87. |
We gave Moses the Book and followed
him up with a succession of Messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary
clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there
comes to you an Messenger with what you yourselves desire not you
are puffed up with pride? Some you called impostors and others you
slay! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 88. |
They say "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve Allah's word
we need no more)." Nay
Allah's curse is on them for their blasphemy; little is it they believe. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 89. |
And when there comes to them a Book
from Allah confirming what is with them although from of old they
had prayed for victory against those without faith when there comes
to them that which they (should) have recognized they refused to believe in it; but the curse of Allah
is on those without Faith. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 90. |
Miserable is the price for which they
have sold their souls in that they deny (the
revelation) which Allah has
sent down in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it
to any of His servants He pleases; thus have they drawn on themselves
wrath upon wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject
Faith. |
