Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ اٰمِنُوْا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلْتُ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ وَ لَا تَكُوْنُوْۤا اَوَّلَ كَافِرٍۭ بِهٖ ۪ وَ لَا تَشْتَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِیْ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا ؗ وَ اِیَّایَ فَاتَّقُوْنِ۝۴۱

And believe in what I have sent down which verifies what is already with you; and do not be the first to deny it, nor part with it for little gain; and beware of Me.

وَ لَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَ تَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۴۲

Do not confuse truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth knowingly.

وَ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَ ارْكَعُوْا مَعَ الرّٰكِعِیْنَ۝۴۳

Be firm in devotion; give zakat (the due share of your wealth for the welfare of others), and bow with those who bow (before God).

اَتَاْمُرُوْنَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ وَ تَنْسَوْنَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَتْلُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۴۴

Will you enjoin good deeds on the others and forget your own selves? You also read the Scriptures, why do you then not understand?

وَ اسْتَعِیْنُوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَ الصَّلٰوةِ ؕ وَ اِنَّهَا لَكَبِیْرَةٌ اِلَّا عَلَی الْخٰشِعِیْنَۙ۝۴۵

Find strength in fortitude and prayer, which is heavy and exacting but for those who are humble and meek,

الَّذِیْنَ یَظُنُّوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ مُّلٰقُوْا رَبِّهِمْ وَ اَنَّهُمْ اِلَیْهِ رٰجِعُوْنَ۠۝۴۶

Who are conscious that they have to meet their Lord, and to Him they have to return.

یٰبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتِیَ الَّتِیْۤ اَنْعَمْتُ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ اَنِّیْ فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَی الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۝۴۷

Remember, O children of Israel, the favours I bestowed on you, and made you exalted among the nations of the world.

وَ اتَّقُوْا یَوْمًا لَّا تَجْزِیْ نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَّفْسٍ شَیْـًٔا وَّ لَا یُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا شَفَاعَةٌ وَّ لَا یُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا عَدْلٌ وَّ لَا هُمْ یُنْصَرُوْنَ۝۴۸

Take heed of the day when no man will be useful to man in the least, when no intercession matter nor ransom avail, nor help reach them.

وَ اِذْ نَجَّیْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ یَسُوْمُوْنَكُمْ سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ یُذَبِّحُوْنَ اَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَ یَسْتَحْیُوْنَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ؕ وَ فِیْ ذٰلِكُمْ بَلَآءٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِیْمٌ۝۴۹

Remember, We saved you from the Pharaoh´s people who wronged and oppressed you and slew your sons but spared your women: In this was a great favour from your Lord.

وَ اِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ الْبَحْرَ فَاَنْجَیْنٰكُمْ وَ اَغْرَقْنَاۤ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَنْظُرُوْنَ۝۵۰

Remember, We parted the sea and saved you, and drowned the men of Pharaoh before your very eyes.
