بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Any revelation We cause to be superseded or forgotten, We replace with something better or similar. Do you [Prophet] not know that God has power over everything?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:107

Do you not know that control of the heavens and the earth belongs to Him? You [believers] have no protector or helper but God.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:108

Do you wish to demand of your messenger something similar to what was demanded of Moses? Whoever exchanges faith for disbelief has strayed far from the right path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:109

Even after the truth has become clear to them, many of the People of the Book wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of their selfish envy. Forgive and forbear until God gives his command: He has power over all things.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:110

Keep up the prayer and pay the prescribed alms. Whatever good you store up for yourselves, you will find it with God: He sees everything you do.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:111

They also say, ‘No one will enter Paradise unless he is a Jew or a Christian.’ This is their own wishful thinking. [Prophet], say, ‘Produce your evidence, if you are telling the truth.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:112

In fact, any who direct themselves wholly to God and do good will have their reward with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:113

The Jews say, ‘The Christians have no ground whatsoever to stand on,’ and the Christians say, ‘The Jews have no ground whatsoever to stand on,’ though they both read the Scripture, and those who have no knowledge say the same; God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning their differences.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:114

Who could be more wicked than those who prohibit the mention of God’s name in His places of worship and strive to have them deserted? Such people should not enter them without fear: there is disgrace for them in this world and painful punishment in the Hereafter.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:115

The East and the West belong to God: wherever you turn, there is His Face. God is all pervading and all knowing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:116

They have asserted, ‘God has a child.’ May He be exalted! No! Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him, everything devoutly obeys His will.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:117

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:118

Those who have no knowledge also say, ‘If only God would speak to us!’ or ‘If only a miraculous sign would come to us!’ People before them said the same things: their hearts are all alike. We have made Our signs clear enough to those who have solid faith.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:119

We have sent you [Prophet] with the truth, bearing good news and warning. You will not be responsible for the inhabitants of the Blaze.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:120

The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you unless you follow their ways. Say, ‘God’s guidance is the only true guidance.’ If you were to follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you would find no one to protect you from God or help you.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:121

Those to whom We have given the Scripture, who follow it as it deserves, are the ones who truly believe in it. Those who deny its truth will be the losers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:122

Children of Israel, remember how I blessed you and favoured you over other people,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:123

and beware of a Day when no soul can stand in for another. No compensation will be accepted from it, nor intercession be of use to it, nor will anyone be helped.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
