1-30 | 31-60 | 61-90 | 91-120 | 121-150 | 151-180 | 181-210 | 211-240 | 241-270 | 271-286

61. And when you said: O Moses {Musa}! We are weary of one kind of food; so call upon your Lord for us that he bring forth for us of that which the earth grows of its herbs and its cucumbers and its corn and its lentils and its onions. He said: Would you exchange that which is higher for that which is lower? Go down to settled country, thus you shall get that which you demand. And humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they were visited with wrath from Allah. That was because they disbelieved in Allah's revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully. That was for their disobedience and transgression
62. Lo! those who believe (in that which is revealed unto you, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does right surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve
63. And (remember, O children of Israel) when We made a covenant with you and caused the Mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein, that you may ward off (evil)
64. Then, even after that, you turned away, and if it had not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy you had been among the losers
65. And you know of those of you who broke the Sabbath, bow We said unto them: Be you apes, despised and hated
66. And We made it an example to their own and to succeeding generations, and an admonition to the God fearing
67. And when Moses {Musa} said unto his people: Lo! Allah commands you that you sacrifice a cow, they said: Dost you make game of us? He answered: Allah forbid that I should be among the foolish
68. They said: Pray for us unto your Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. (Moses {Musa}) answered: Lo! He says, Verily she is a cow neither with calf nor immature; (she is) between the two conditions; so do that which you are commanded
69. They said: Pray for us unto your Lord that He make clear to us of what color she is. (Moses {Musa}) answered: Lo! He says: Verily she is a yellow cow. Bright is her color, gladdening beholders
70. They said: Pray for us unto you Lord that He make clear to us what (cow) she is. Lo! cows are much alike to us; and lo! if Allah wills, we may be led aright
71. (Moses {Musa}) answered: Lo! He says: Verily she is a cow unyoked; she ploughs not the soil nor waters the tilth; whole and without mark. They said: Now you bring the truth. So they sacrificed her, though almost they did not
72. And (remember) when you slew a man and disagreed concerning it and Allah brought forth that which you were hiding
73. And We said: Smite him with some of it. Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you His portents so that you may understand
74. Then, even after that, your hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse than rocks, for hardness. For indeed there are rocks from out which rivers gush, and indeed there are rocks which split asunder so that water flows from them. And indeed there are rocks which fall down for the fear of Allah. Allah is not unaware of what you do
75. Have you any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the Word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it knowingly?
76. And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate you to them of that which Allah has disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have you then no sense?
77. Are they then unaware that Allah knows that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim?
78. Among them are unlettered folk who know the scripture not except from hearsay. They but guess
79. Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby
80. And they say: The fire (of punishment) will not touch us save for a certain number of days. Say: Have you received a covenant from Allah--truly Allah will not break His covenant--or tell you concerning Allah that which you know not?
81. Nay, but whosoever has done evil and his sin surrounds him; such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein
82. And those who believe and do good works: such are rightful owners of the Garden. They will abide therein
83. And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor due. Then, after that, you slid back, save a few of you, being averse
84. And when We made with you a covenant (saying): Shed not the blood of your people nor turn (a party of) your people out of your dwellings. Then you ratified (Our covenant) and you were witnesses (thereto)
85. Yet you it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your people from their homes, supporting one another against them by sin and transgression, and if they came to you as captives you would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you. Believe you in part of the Scripture and disbelieve you in part thereof? And what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous doom. For Allah is not unaware of what you do
86. Such are those who buy the life of the world at the price of the Hereafter: Their punishment will not be lightened, neither will they have support
87. And verily We gave unto Moses {Musa} the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), and We supported him with the holy Spirit. Is it ever so, that, when there comes unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which you yourselves desire not, you grow arrogant, and some you disbelieve and some you slay?
88. And they say: Our hearts are hardened. Nay, but Allah has cursed them for their unbelief. Little is that which they believe
 
89. And when there comes unto them a Scripture from Allah, confirming that in their possession though before that they were asking for a signal triumph over those who disbelieved and when there comes unto them that which they know (to be the Truth) they disbelieve therein. The curse of Allah is on disbelievers
90. Evil is that for which they sell their souls: that they should disbelieve in that which Allah has revealed, grudging that Allah should reveal of His bounty unto whom He will of His bondmen. They have incurred anger upon anger. For disbelievers is a shameful doom
