Surah Al Baqurah | Chapter, The Cow
2. SURAH AL-BAQARAH - copyright, Noble Quran by Muhsin Khan Translation
​
1. Alif-Lam-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
2. This is the Book (the Qur’an), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].
3. Who believe in the Ghaib and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend out of what we have provided for them [i.e. give Zakat , spend on themselves, their parents, their children, their wives, etc., and also give charity to the poor and also in Allah’s Cause – Jihad, etc.].
4. And who believe in (the Qur’an and the Sunnah) which has been sent down (revealed) to you (Muhammad Peace be upon him ) and in [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.] which were sent down before you and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter. (Resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell, etc.).
5. They are on (true) guidance from their Lord, and they are the successful.
6. Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.
7. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allah’s Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.
8. And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: “We believe in Allah and the Last Day” while in fact they believe not.
9. They (think to) deceive Allah and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not!
10. In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.
11. And when it is said to them: “Make not mischief on the earth,” they say: “We are only peacemakers.”
12. Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not.
13. And when it is said to them (hypocrites): “Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him , Al-Ansar and Al-Muhajirun) have believed,” they say: “Shall we believe as the fools have believed?” Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.
14. And when they meet those who believe, they say: “We believe,” but when they are alone with their Shayatin (devils – polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: “Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking.”
15. Allah mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly.
16. These are they who have purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And they were not guided.
17. Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness. (So) they could not see.
18. They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path).
19. Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. But Allah ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allah will gather them all together).
20. The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.
21. O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious – see V.2:2).
22. Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).
23. And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur’an) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.
24. But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
25. And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: “This is what we were provided with before,” and they will be given things in resemblance (i.e. in the same form but different in taste) and they shall have therein Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives), (having no menses, stools, urine, etc.) and they will abide therein forever.
26. Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it. And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: “What did Allah intend by this parable?” By it He misleads many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
27. Those who break Allah’s Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allah has ordered to be joined (as regards Allah’s Religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to practise its legal laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin ), and do mischief on earth, it is they who are the losers.
28. How can you disbelieve in Allah? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return.
29. He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything.
30. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: “Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth.” They said: “Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, – while we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You.” He (Allah) said: “I know that which you do not know.”

​
¡En el nombre de Alá, el Compasivo, el Misericordioso!
1. `lm.
2. Ésta es la Escritura, exenta de dudas, como dirección para los temerosos de Alá,
3. que creen en lo oculto, hacen la azalá y dan limosna de lo que les hemos proveído.
4. creen en lo que se te ha revelado a ti y antes de ti, y están convencidos de la otra vida.
5. Ésos son los dirigidos por su Señor y ésos los que prosperarán.
6. Da lo mismo que adviertas o no a los infieles: no creen.
7. Alá ha sellado sus corazones y oídos; una venda cubre sus ojos y tendrán un castigo terrible.
8. Hay entre los hombres quienes dicen: «Creemos en Alá y en el último Día», pero no creen.
9. Tratan de engañar a Alá y a los que creen; pero, sin darse cuenta, sólo se engañan a sí mismos.
10. Sus corazones están enfermos y Alá les ha agravado su enfermedad. Tendrán un castigo doloroso por haber mentido.
11. Cuando se les dice: «¡No corrompáis en la tierra!», dicen: «Pero ¡si somos reformadores!»
12. ¡No son ellos, en realidad, los corruptores? Pero no se dan cuenta.
13. Cuando se les dice: «¡Creed como creen los demás!», dicen: «¿Es que vamos a creer como creen los tontos?» Son ellos los tontos, pero no lo saben.
14. Cuando encuentran a quienes creen, dicen: «¡Creemos!» Pero, cuando están a solas con sus demonios, dicen: «Estamos con vosotros, era sólo una broma».
15. Alá les devolverá la broma y les dejará que persistan en su rebeldía, errando ciegos.
16. Ésos son los que han trocado la Dirección por el extravío. Por eso, su negocio no ha resultado lucrativo y no han sido bien dirigidos.
17. Son como uno que alumbra un fuego. En cuanto éste ilumina lo que le rodea, Alá se les lleva la luz y les deja en tinieblas: no ven.
18. Son sordos, mudos, ciegos, no se convierten.
19. O como si viniera del cielo una nube borrascosa, cargada de tinieblas, truenos y relámpagos. Se ponen los dedos en los oídos contra el rayo, por temor a la muerte. Pero Alá cerca a los infieles.
20. El relámpago les arrebata casi la vista. Cuando les ilumina, caminan a su luz; pero, cuando les oscurece, se detienen. Si Alá hubiera querido, les habría quitado el oído y la vista. Alá es omnipotente.
21. ¡Hombres! Servid a vuestro Señor, Que os ha creado, a vosotros y a quienes os precedieron. Quizás, así, tengáis temor de Él.
22. Os ha hecho de la tierra lecho y del cielo edificio. Ha hecho bajar agua del cielo, mediante la cual ha sacado frutos para sustentaros. No atribuyáis iguales a Alá a sabiendas.
23. Si dudáis de lo que hemos revelado a Nuestro siervo, traed una sura semejante y, si es verdad lo que decís, llamad a vuestros testigos en lugar de llamar a Alá.
24. Pero, si no lo hacéis -y nunca podréis hacerlo-, guardaos del fuego cuyo combustible lo constituyen hombres y piedras, y que ha sido preparado para los infieles.
25. Anuncia la buena nueva a quienes creen y obran bien: tendrán jardines por cuyos bajos fluyen arroyos. Siempre que se les dé como sustento algún fruto de ellos, dirán: «Esto es igual que lo que se nos ha dado antes». Pero se les dará algo sólo parecido. Tendrán esposas purificadas y estarán allí eternamente.
26. Alá no se avergüenza de proponer la parábola que sea, aunque se trate de un mosquito. Los que creen saben que es la Verdad, que viene de su Señor. En cuanto a los que no creen, dicen: «¿Qué es lo que se propone Alá con esta parábola?» Así extravía Él a muchos y así también dirige a muchos. Pero no extravía así sino a los perversos.
27. Quienes violan la alianza con Alá después de haberla concluido, cortan los lazos que Alá ha ordenado mantener y corrompen en la tierra, ésos son los que pierden.
28. ¿Cómo podéis no creer en Alá, siendo así que os dio la vida cuando aún no existíais, que os hará morir y os volverá a la vida, después de lo cual seréis devueltos a Él?
29. Él es Quien creó para vosotros cuanto hay en la tierra. Y subió al cielo e hizo de él siete cielos. Es omnisciente.
30. Y cuando tu Señor dijo a los ángeles: «Voy a poner un sucesor en la tierra». Dijeron: «¿Vas a poner en ella a quien corrompa en ella y derrame sangre, siendo así que nosotros celebramos Tu alabanza y proclamamos Tu santidad?» Dijo: «Yo sé lo que vosotros no sabéis».
31. Enseñó a Adán los nombres de todos los seres y presentó éstos a los ángeles diciendo: «Informadme de los nombres de éstos, si es verdad lo que decís».
