Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا كَمَثَلِ الَّذِیْ یَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا یَسْمَعُ اِلَّا دُعَآءً وَّ نِدَآءً ؕ صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْیٌ فَهُمْ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۱۷۱

The semblance of the infidels is that of a man who shouts to one that cannot hear more than a call and a cry. They are deaf, dumb and blind, and they fail to understand.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُلُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ وَ اشْكُرُوْا لِلّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اِیَّاهُ تَعْبُدُوْنَ۝۱۷۲

O believers, eat what is good of the food We have given you, and be grateful to God, if indeed you are obedient to Him.

اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةَ وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِیْرِ وَ مَاۤ اُهِلَّ بِهٖ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِ ۚ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَیْرَ بَاغٍ وَّ لَا عَادٍ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۝۱۷۳

Forbidden to you are carrion and blood, and the flesh of the swine, and that which has been consecrated (or killed) in the name of any other than God. If one is obliged by necessity to eat it without intending to transgress, or reverting to it, he is not guilty of sin; for God is forgiving and kind.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَكْتُمُوْنَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ یَشْتَرُوْنَ بِهٖ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ مَا یَاْكُلُوْنَ فِیْ بُطُوْنِهِمْ اِلَّا النَّارَ وَ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللّٰهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ وَ لَا یُزَكِّیْهِمْ ۖۚ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ۝۱۷۴

Those who conceal any part of the Scriptures that God has revealed, and thus make a little profit thereby, take nothing but fire as food; and God will not turn to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor nourish them for growth; and their doom will be painful.

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلٰلَةَ بِالْهُدٰی وَ الْعَذَابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ فَمَاۤ اَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَی النَّارِ۝۱۷۵

They are those who bartered away good guidance for error, and pardon for punishment: How great is their striving for the Fire

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ ؕ وَ اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اخْتَلَفُوْا فِی الْكِتٰبِ لَفِیْ شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِیْدٍ۠۝۱۷۶

That is because God has revealed the Book containing the truth; but those who are at variance about it have gone astray in their contrariness.

لَیْسَ الْبِرَّ اَنْ تُوَلُّوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ لٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ وَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ النَّبِیّٖنَ ۚ وَ اٰتَی الْمَالَ عَلٰی حُبِّهٖ ذَوِی الْقُرْبٰی وَ الْیَتٰمٰی وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنَ وَ ابْنَ السَّبِیْلِ ۙ وَ السَّآىِٕلِیْنَ وَ فِی الرِّقَابِ ۚ وَ اَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَی الزَّكٰوةَ ۚ وَ الْمُوْفُوْنَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ اِذَا عٰهَدُوْا ۚ وَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ فِی الْبَاْسَآءِ وَ الضَّرَّآءِ وَ حِیْنَ الْبَاْسِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ صَدَقُوْا ؕ وَ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ۝۱۷۷

Piety does not lie in turning your face to East or West: Piety lies in believing in God, the Last Day and the angels, the Scriptures and the prophets, and disbursing your wealth out of love for God among your kin and the orphans, the wayfarers and mendicants, freeing the slaves, observing your devotional obligations, and in paying the zakat and fulfilling a pledge you have given, and being patient in hardship, adversity, and times of peril. These are the men who affirm the truth, and they are those who follow the straight path.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُتِبَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِی الْقَتْلٰی ؕ اَلْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَ الْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَ الْاُنْثٰی بِالْاُنْثٰی ؕ فَمَنْ عُفِیَ لَهٗ مِنْ اَخِیْهِ شَیْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌۢ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ اَدَآءٌ اِلَیْهِ بِاِحْسَانٍ ؕ ذٰلِكَ تَخْفِیْفٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةٌ ؕ فَمَنِ اعْتَدٰی بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهٗ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ۝۱۷۸

O believers, ordained for you is retribution for the murdered, (whether) a free man (is guilty) of (the murder of) a free man, or a slave of a slave, or a woman of a woman. But he who is pardoned some of it by his brother should be dealt with equity, and recompense (for blood) paid with a grace. This is a concession from your Lord and a kindness. He who transgresses in spite of it shall suffer painful punishment.

وَ لَكُمْ فِی الْقِصَاصِ حَیٰوةٌ یّٰۤاُولِی الْاَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۱۷۹

In retribution there is life (and preservation). O men of sense, you may haply take heed for yourselves.

كُتِبَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ اِنْ تَرَكَ خَیْرَا ۖۚ ِ۟الْوَصِیَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَیْنِ وَ الْاَقْرَبِیْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ۚ حَقًّا عَلَی الْمُتَّقِیْنَؕ۝۱۸۰

It is ordained that when any one of you nears death, and he owns goods and chattels, he should bequeath them equitably to his parents and next of kin. This is binding on those who are upright and fear God.
