Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ مَاتُوْا وَ هُمْ كُفَّارٌ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ عَلَیْهِمْ لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ وَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْنَۙ۝۱۶۱

But those who deny, and die disbelieving, bear the condemnation of God and the angels and that of all men,

خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَا ۚ لَا یُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَ لَا هُمْ یُنْظَرُوْنَ۝۱۶۲

Under which they will live, and their suffering will neither decrease nor be respite for them.

وَ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمٰنُ الرَّحِیْمُ۠۝۱۶۳

Your God is one God; there is no god other than He, the compassionate, ever-merciful.

اِنَّ فِیْ خَلْقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ اخْتِلَافِ الَّیْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ الْفُلْكِ الَّتِیْ تَجْرِیْ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِمَا یَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنْ مَّآءٍ فَاَحْیَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَ بَثَّ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ ۪ وَّ تَصْرِیْفِ الرِّیٰحِ وَ السَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَیْنَ السَّمَآءِ وَ الْاَرْضِ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ۝۱۶۴

Creation of the heavens and the earth, alternation of night and day, and sailing of ships across the ocean with what is useful to man, and the rain that God sends from the sky enlivening the earth that was dead, and the scattering of beasts of all kinds upon it, and the changing of the winds, and the clouds which remain obedient between earth and sky, are surely signs for the wise.

وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَنْدَادًا یُّحِبُّوْنَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلّٰهِ ؕ وَ لَوْ یَرَی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْۤا اِذْ یَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ ۙ اَنَّ الْقُوَّةَ لِلّٰهِ جَمِیْعًا ۙ وَّ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعَذَابِ۝۱۶۵

And yet there are men who take others as compeers of God, and bestow on them love due to God; but the love of the faithful for God is more intense. If only the wicked could see now the agony that they will behold (on the Day of Resurrection), they will know that to God belongs the power entirely´. And the punishment of God is severe.

اِذْ تَبَرَّاَ الَّذِیْنَ اتُّبِعُوْا مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْا وَ رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَ وَ تَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الْاَسْبَابُ۝۱۶۶

When those who were followed will disclaim those who followed them, and see the torment all ties between them shall be severed,

وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْا لَوْ اَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوْا مِنَّا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُرِیْهِمُ اللّٰهُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ حَسَرٰتٍ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَ مَا هُمْ بِخٰرِجِیْنَ مِنَ النَّارِ۠۝۱۶۷

And the followers will say: "Could we live but once again we would leave them as they have abandoned us now." God will show them thus their deeds, and fill them with remorse; but never shall they find release from the Fire.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوْا مِمَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا ۖؗ وَّ لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ۝۱۶۸

O men, eat only the things of the earth that are lawful and good. Do not walk in the footsteps of Satan, your acknowledged enemy.

اِنَّمَا یَاْمُرُكُمْ بِالسُّوْٓءِ وَ الْفَحْشَآءِ وَ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۱۶۹

He will ask you to indulge in evil, indecency, and to speak lies of God you cannot even conceive.

وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوْا مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ قَالُوْا بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَاۤ اَلْفَیْنَا عَلَیْهِ اٰبَآءَنَا ؕ اَوَ لَوْ كَانَ اٰبَآؤُهُمْ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ شَیْـًٔا وَّ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ۝۱۷۰

When it is said to them: "Follow what God has revealed," they reply: "No, we shall follow only what our fathers had practiced," -- even though their fathers had no wisdom or guidance!
