Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

قَالَ اِنَّهٗ یَقُوْلُ اِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لَّا ذَلُوْلٌ تُثِیْرُ الْاَرْضَ وَ لَا تَسْقِی الْحَرْثَ ۚ مُسَلَّمَةٌ لَّا شِیَةَ فِیْهَا ؕ قَالُوا الْـٰٔنَ جِئْتَ بِالْحَقِّ ؕ فَذَبَحُوْهَا وَ مَا كَادُوْا یَفْعَلُوْنَ۠۝۷۱

And Moses said: "He says it´s a cow unyoked, nor worn out by ploughing or watering the fields, one in good shape with no mark or blemish." "Now have you brought us the truth," they said; and then, after wavering, they sacrificed the cow.

وَ اِذْ قَتَلْتُمْ نَفْسًا فَادّٰرَءْتُمْ فِیْهَا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا كُنْتُمْ تَكْتُمُوْنَۚ۝۷۲

Remember when you killed a man and blamed each other for the deed, God brought to light what you concealed.

فَقُلْنَا اضْرِبُوْهُ بِبَعْضِهَا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُحْیِ اللّٰهُ الْمَوْتٰی ۙ وَ یُرِیْكُمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۷۳

We had pronounced already: "Slay (the murderer) for (taking a life)." Thus God preserves life from death and shows you His signs that you may understand.

ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوْبُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ فَهِیَ كَالْحِجَارَةِ اَوْ اَشَدُّ قَسْوَةً ؕ وَ اِنَّ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ لَمَا یَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْهُ الْاَنْهٰرُ ؕ وَ اِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا یَشَّقَّقُ فَیَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْمَآءُ ؕ وَ اِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا یَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْیَةِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ مَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۷۴

Yet, in spite of this, your hearts only hardened like rocks or even harder, but among rocks are those from which rivers flow; and there are also those which split open and water gushes forth; as well as those that roll down for fear of God. And God is not negligent of all that you do.

اَفَتَطْمَعُوْنَ اَنْ یُّؤْمِنُوْا لَكُمْ وَ قَدْ كَانَ فَرِیْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ یَسْمَعُوْنَ كَلٰمَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ یُحَرِّفُوْنَهٗ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوْهُ وَ هُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۷۵

How do you expect them to put their faith in you, when you know that some among them heard the word of God and, having understood, perverted it knowingly?

وَ اِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا ۖۚ وَ اِذَا خَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰی بَعْضٍ قَالُوْۤا اَتُحَدِّثُوْنَهُمْ بِمَا فَتَحَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْكُمْ لِیُحَآجُّوْكُمْ بِهٖ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۷۶

For when they meet the faithful, they say: "We believe;" but when among themselves, they say: "Why do you tell them what the Lord has revealed to you? They will only dispute it in the presence of your Lord. Have you no sense indeed?"

اَوَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ مَا یُسِرُّوْنَ وَ مَا یُعْلِنُوْنَ۝۷۷

Do they not know that God is aware of what they hide and what they disclose?

وَ مِنْهُمْ اُمِّیُّوْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ اِلَّاۤ اَمَانِیَّ وَ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَظُنُّوْنَ۝۷۸

Among them are heathens who know nothing of the Book but only what they wish to believe, and are only lost in fantasies.

فَوَیْلٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ یَكْتُبُوْنَ الْكِتٰبَ بِاَیْدِیْهِمْ ۗ ثُمَّ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هٰذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ لِیَشْتَرُوْا بِهٖ ثَمَنًا قَلِیْلًا ؕ فَوَیْلٌ لَّهُمْ مِّمَّا كَتَبَتْ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ وَیْلٌ لَّهُمْ مِّمَّا یَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۷۹

But woe to them who fake the Scriptures and say: "This is from God," so that they might earn some profit thereby; and woe to them for what they fake, and woe to them for what they earn from it!

وَ قَالُوْا لَنْ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ اِلَّاۤ اَیَّامًا مَّعْدُوْدَةً ؕ قُلْ اَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ عَهْدًا فَلَنْ یُّخْلِفَ اللّٰهُ عَهْدَهٗۤ اَمْ تَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۸۰

Yet they say: "The Fire will not touch us for more than a few days." Say.. "Have you so received a promise from God?" "Then surely God will not withdraw His pledge. Or do you impute things to God of which you have no knowledge at all?"
