Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یَّقُوْلُ رَبَّنَاۤ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَةً وَّ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَّ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ۝۲۰۱

But some there are who pray: "Give us of good in the world, O Lord, and give us of good in the life to come, and suffer us not to suffer the torment of Hell."

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ نَصِیْبٌ مِّمَّا كَسَبُوْا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ۝۲۰۲

They are those who will surely have their share of whatsoever they have earned; for God is swift at the reckoning.

وَ اذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ فِیْۤ اَیَّامٍ مَّعْدُوْدٰتٍ ؕ فَمَنْ تَعَجَّلَ فِیْ یَوْمَیْنِ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِ ۚ وَ مَنْ تَاَخَّرَ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِ ۙ لِمَنِ اتَّقٰی ؕ وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّكُمْ اِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ۝۲۰۳

Remember God during the stated days; but if a person comes away after two days, it will not be a sin; and if one tarries, he will not transgress, if he keep away from evil. Follow the law of God, and remember that you will have to gather before Him in the end.

وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یُّعْجِبُكَ قَوْلُهٗ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ یُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی مَا فِیْ قَلْبِهٖ ۙ وَ هُوَ اَلَدُّ الْخِصَامِ۝۲۰۴

There is a man who talks well of the world to your pleasing, and makes God witness to what is in his heart, yet he is the most contentious;

وَ اِذَا تَوَلّٰی سَعٰی فِی الْاَرْضِ لِیُفْسِدَ فِیْهَا وَ یُهْلِكَ الْحَرْثَ وَ النَّسْلَ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یُحِبُّ الْفَسَادَ۝۲۰۵

For when his back is turned he goes about spreading disorder in the land, destroying fields and flocks; but God does not love disorder.

وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُ اتَّقِ اللّٰهَ اَخَذَتْهُ الْعِزَّةُ بِالْاِثْمِ فَحَسْبُهٗ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَ لَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ۝۲۰۶

Whenever he is told: "Obey God," his arrogance leads him to more sin; and sufficient for him shall be Hell: How evil a place of wide expanse!

وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ یَّشْرِیْ نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ رَءُوْفٌۢ بِالْعِبَادِ۝۲۰۷

And there is a man who is willing to sell even his soul to win the favour of God; and God is compassionate to His creatures.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا ادْخُلُوْا فِی السِّلْمِ كَآفَّةً ۪ وَّ لَا تَتَّبِعُوْا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّیْطٰنِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ۝۲۰۸

O believers, come to full submission to God. Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan your acknowledged foe.

فَاِنْ زَلَلْتُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْكُمُ الْبَیِّنٰتُ فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۲۰۹

If you falter even after Our signs have reached you, then do not forget that God is all-powerful and all-wise.

هَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْ ظُلَلٍ مِّنَ الْغَمَامِ وَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ وَ قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ ؕ وَ اِلَی اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ۠۝۲۱۰

Are they waiting for God to appear in the balconies of clouds with a host of angels, and the matter to be settled? But all things rest with God in the end.
