Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

بَلٰی مَنْ كَسَبَ سَیِّئَةً وَّ اَحَاطَتْ بِهٖ خَطِیْٓـَٔتُهٗ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۝۸۱

Why, they who have earned the wages of sin and are enclosed in error, are people of Hell, where they will abide for ever.

وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۠۝۸۲

But those who believe and do good deeds are people of Paradise, and shall live there forever.

وَ اِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ لَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۫ وَ بِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًا وَّ ذِی الْقُرْبٰی وَ الْیَتٰمٰی وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَ قُوْلُوْا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا وَّ اَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ ؕ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّنْكُمْ وَ اَنْتُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ۝۸۳

Remember, when We made a covenant with the people of Israel and said: "Worship no one but God, and be good to your parents and your kin, and to orphans and the needy, and speak of goodness to men; observe your devotional obligations, and give zakat (the due share of your wealth for the welfare of others)," you went back (on your word), except only a few, and paid no heed.

وَ اِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِیْثَاقَكُمْ لَا تَسْفِكُوْنَ دِمَآءَكُمْ وَ لَا تُخْرِجُوْنَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ مِّنْ دِیَارِكُمْ ثُمَّ اَقْرَرْتُمْ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُوْنَ۝۸۴

And remember, when We made a covenant with you whereby you agreed you will neither shed blood among you nor turn your people out of their homes, you promised, and are witness to it too.

ثُمَّ اَنْتُمْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ تَقْتُلُوْنَ اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ تُخْرِجُوْنَ فَرِیْقًا مِّنْكُمْ مِّنْ دِیَارِهِمْ ؗ تَظٰهَرُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِالْاِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ ؕ وَ اِنْ یَّاْتُوْكُمْ اُسٰرٰی تُفٰدُوْهُمْ وَ هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَیْكُمْ اِخْرَاجُهُمْ ؕ اَفَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتٰبِ وَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ بِبَعْضٍ ۚ فَمَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ یَّفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ اِلَّا خِزْیٌ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ۚ وَ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ یُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰۤی اَشَدِّ الْعَذَابِ ؕ وَ مَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۸۵

But you still kill one another, and you turn a section of your people from their homes, assisting one another against them with guilt and oppression. Yet when they are brought to you as captives you ransom them, although forbidden it was to drive them away.Do you, then, believe a part of the Book and reject a part? There is no other award for them who so act but disgrace in the world, and on the Day of Judgement the severest of punishment; for God is not heedless of all that you do.

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ اشْتَرَوُا الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَا بِالْاٰخِرَةِ ؗ فَلَا یُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَ لَا هُمْ یُنْصَرُوْنَ۠۝۸۶

They are those who bought the life of the world at the cost of the life to come; and neither will their torment decrease nor help reach them.

وَ لَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ وَ قَفَّیْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ بِالرُّسُلِ ؗ وَ اٰتَیْنَا عِیْسَی ابْنَ مَرْیَمَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ اَیَّدْنٰهُ بِرُوْحِ الْقُدُسِ ؕ اَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوٰۤی اَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ ۚ فَفَرِیْقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ ؗ وَ فَرِیْقًا تَقْتُلُوْنَ۝۸۷

Remember We gave Moses the Book and sent after him many an apostle; and to Jesus, son of Mary, We gave clear evidence of the truth, reinforcing him with divine grace. Even so, when a messenger brought to you what did not suit your mood you turned haughty, and called some imposters and some others you slew.

وَ قَالُوْا قُلُوْبُنَا غُلْفٌ ؕ بَلْ لَّعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَلِیْلًا مَّا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ۝۸۸

And they say: "Our hearts are enfolded in covers." In fact God has cursed them for their unbelief; and only a little do they believe.

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ كِتٰبٌ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ ۙ وَ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ یَسْتَفْتِحُوْنَ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ۖۚ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ مَّا عَرَفُوْا كَفَرُوْا بِهٖ ؗ فَلَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۸۹

And when the Book was sent to them by God verifying what had been revealed to them already even though before it they used to pray for victory over the unbelievers and even though they recognised it when it came to them, they renounced it. The curse of God be on those who deny!

بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْا بِهٖۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ اَنْ یَّكْفُرُوْا بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بَغْیًا اَنْ یُّنَزِّلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ عَلٰی مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ ۚ فَبَآءُوْ بِغَضَبٍ عَلٰی غَضَبٍ ؕ وَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ۝۹۰

They bartered their lives ill denying the revelation of God out of spite that God should bestow His grace among His votaries on whomsoever He will, and thus earned wrath upon wrath. The punishment for disbelievers is ignominious.
