2.0 In The Name Of YHWH: The Almighty, The Merciful.
2:1 alif lām mīm
2:2 That is the covenant about which there is no doubt
it is a Guidance for those of Wise Fear.
2:3 Those who believe in the unseen
and uphold the Prayer which is the 7 short and memorable verses of chapter one above
and do Good with what We provide them.
The unseen is God and His Angels Who are only visible to whom they choose, including jinn. And FYI; Dogs and other animals can see things we do not. i.e. Balaams’ donkey in Numbers 22:23 “And the ass saw the angel of YHWH standing in the road, with a drawn sword in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the road, and ran into the field”
2:4 Those who believe in this sent down to thee Mohamet and the Torah The first 5 Books of the Bible; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy and the Gospels not the NT version, rather the Gospel of the Holy Twelve and the Gospel of Barnabas sent down before thee these are certain of the Hereafter.
2:5 Yea these are upon Guidance From their Lord
and they are the Successful.
2:6 But the deceived who’ve allowed their demons to take over
it is the same to them whether thou warns them
or thou has not warned them.
They do not believe.
2:7 These are whose hearts God Has Sealed
and Muffled their hearing
over whose sight He Has Placed a covering.
They have a Horrifying Punishment.
All believers witness this incredibly telling phenomenon when attempting to share the Truth with others. There is a distinct difference between the ones who comprehend and those who can’t, the latter of which are just plain unreachable. And even some who try will have a hard time overcoming their “whisperings” which if left to grow into habits, results in failure and condemnation by God. This is the win/lose all game we’re all in, most have already lost.
2:8 And among people are many who say:
We believe in God and the Last Day
but they have not submitted.
2:9 Yea they would deceive God and those who believe.
But they only deceive themselves
while they do not perceive.
2:10 In their hearts is their freely chosen disease
so God Increased them in their freely chosen disease.
And they have a Painful Punishment
for that which they chose.
2:11 So when it is said to them:
Do not work corruption in the Earth.
They say: We are those who do Right!
2:12 In Truth it is they who are the workers of corruption
but they perceive not.
2:13 And when it is said to them: Believe as monotheists believe in YHWH alone, along with all His Angels and authentic Messengers
they say: Shall we believe as fools believe? Nay!
In Truth it is they who are the foolish
but they perceive not.
2:14 When they meet monotheists who submit they say:
We believe.
But when they are alone with their degenerate inhuman imposter friends they say:
We are with you.
We were only mocking!
2:15 So God Mocks them
and Assists them in wandering blindly in their delusion.
2:16 These are they who sell Guidance for error
so their transactions profit not
yea they are not Rightly Guided.
2:17 Their example is like that of one who kindles a fire for them. Tries to help a disbeliever believe.
When it has illuminated round about them
God Takes Away the Light and Leaves them in darkness.
Lo they do not see.
2:18 God Renders them unwilling to hear
unwilling to speak
and unwilling to see.
They will not return to the Way.
2:19 Like a thundercloud from the sky wherein is darkness and thunder and lightning
when they thrust their fingers in their ears against the thunderbolts for fear of death.
Thus God Deafens disbelievers.
2:20 The lightning only snatches away their sight.
Whenever it gives them light they walk therein
but then it darkens against them and they stand.
And had God Willed He Would Have Disabled their ears and their eyes completely.
For God Is Powerful Over All Things.
2:21 O mankind serve your Lord Who Created you
and those before you
that you might be in Wise Fear.
2:22 He Who Made the Earth a carpet for you
and the Heavens great structures
and Sent Down Pure Water from the sky
then Brought Forth Some Fruits as provision for you.
So serve none other than God.
You know.
2:23 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant this Quran from Mohamet
then design a chapter similar to any hereof
and call your witnesses other than God if you be Truthful. This is a challenge repeated several times herein for us to write a chapter with all the mathematical, scientific and literary perfection seen in the Arabic Quran. Many have tried, none have succeeded, none ever will.
2:24 But if you do not
and you will not
then be in Wise Fear of the Fire
whose fuel is mankind jinn and humans and stones of coal
prepared specifically for erring fools.
2:25 And bear thou Glad Tidings to those who believe
and do deeds of Righteousness.
They have Gardens beneath which rivers flow
and when provided with the fruit thereof they say:
This is what was given to us as provision before
for they are given thereby a likeness fruits/veggies/grains
and they have there purified friends and servants
abiding therein Eternally.
2:26 God Is Inclined To Present all examples be it of a mosquito or what is above it.
So as for those who believe
they know what is the Truth From their Lord
and as for the deceived
they say: What Means God by this example?
He Leads Astray many thereby
and He Guides many thereby
and He Leads Astray thereby only the wantonly disbelieving. Choices made with freewill become wanton habits.
2:27 Those who declare the Pledge Of God null after their agreement to live in accordance with God Given Instincts in our DNA
and sever Laws God Commanded thereby to be joined
and create corruption in the Earth
these are the losers.
2:28 How will you deny God?
When you were nothing
He Gave you Life
then He Will Give you Death
then He Will Give you Life
and to Him you will be returned.
2:29 It Is He Who Created What is in the Earth for you altogether
then He Turned to the sky
and Fashioned seven Heavens.
He Who Knows Literally Everything.
2:30 And when thy Lord Said to the angels:
I Am Placing a human successor to the jinn in the Earth
they said: Will Thou Place one therein who will do harm and shed blood like many jinn did before us
when We glorify thee in praise and are holy unto Thee?
He Said: I Know What you know not.
2:31 And He Taught Adam all the names of the animals
then He Presented them to the angels and Said:
Tell Me the names of these
if you be Truthful.
2:32 They said: Glory Be Unto Thee
we know nothing except what Thou Has Taught us!
Thou Are The Knowing, The Wise.
2:33 He Said: O Adam tell them their names
and when he had told them their names God Said:
Proclaimed I not to you that I Know the unseen of the Heavens and the Earth?
And I Know what you reveal and what you conceal.
2:34 And when We said to the angels: Submit to Adam
they submitted except lucifer a jinn who has freewill like us
he refused and was proud
yea he was of the fools.
2:35 And We said: O Adam
dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden
and eat thereof freely whatever you will.
But do not approach this tree the tree of life animals
for then you will be among the wrongdoers.
2:36 But a degenerate inhuman imposter made them fall
so He Expelled them from what they were in
and We said: Get you down
an enemy to one another. Hence the war of all our lives began!
And for you on the Earth is sustenance for but a limited time.
– The simple form of the word “Day” in the Quran occurs 365 times, symbolizing a non-leap year for our solar years of 365.24 days.
– The simple form of the word “Days” (plural) in the Quran occurs 30 times, symbolizing an average, rounded lunar month of 29.5 days.
– The simple form of the word “Months” in the Quran occurs 12 times, symbolizing a lunar year of 354/355 days. Note the deduction of 11 or 10 days per year and the complicated long term changing of seasons that occurs for those who stuck with the lunar calendar type. That said, as we see evidenced here, both are ordained by God.
2:37 Then Adam learned Truths from his Lord
because He Turned Towards him in Forgiveness
He Being The Receptive, The Merciful.
2:38 Yea We said: Get you down from it one and all.
And if Guidance From Me comes to you
then whoever follows My Guidance
they need not fear
nor will they regret.
2:39 But for the deceived who deny Our Proofs
these are the companions of the Fire
wherein they abide Eternally.
2:40 O children of Israel remember My Gift
wherewith I Favored you
and fulfill the pledge to Me to be instinctively Godly and Good
I Will Fulfill the pledge to you. to give us Eternal Bliss
And Me, fear Me. The Judge of how each of us will spend Eternity!
2:41 And believe in what I Have Sent Down this Quran confirming what is with you previous scriptures
and do not
be first to deny it
and do not sell My Revelations for a cheap price. Profiting or benefiting from Gods’ Miracles/Truths is illegal, all scripture is to be given freely. Micah 3:11 “Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money.”
And Me, be in Wise Fear of Me.
2:42 And do not confuse Truth with falsehood
nor conceal the Truth
when you know it. Share it, educate and warn others for God!
2:43 And uphold the Prayer Recitation of Abrahams’ contact Prayer, the 7 verses of chapter 1 followed by bowing in submission as did Yeshua and all the other prophets. Mat 26:39 “And he (Yeshua) went a little farther, and fell on his face, and Prayed”. Like all Monotheists aka Muslims do!
and be conscious of Gods’ Presence
yea bow down with those who bow down.
2:44 You order virtuous conduct then forget it yourselves while you recite the Torah?
Will you not use reason!
2:45 Ask God for patience and Help with Prayers
for it is hard except for the humble
2:46 those who bear in mind they will meet their Lord
and that to Him they are returning.
2:47 O children of Israel remember My Blessing wherewith I Favored you
and that I Advantaged you above all mankind.
2:48 And be in Wise Fear of the Day no soul will avail a soul anything
nor will intercession be accepted from it
nor will compensation be taken from it
nor will they be helped. We are each 100% solely accountable for our choices in life, no one can help another in any way on “the Day”!
2:49 And when We delivered you from the house of pharaoh
they were afflicting you with merciless oppression
killing your sons and taking your women
and in that was a Monumental Trial From your Lord.
2:50 And when We divided the sea for you
then We rescued you
and drowned the house of pharaoh
while you were looking on.
Not including use of the word “sea” in verse *20:77 which is referring to a dry area of the red sea crossed by Moses and co, we have exactly 32 uses of “sea” with its’ normal definition or meaning of “an area covered by water”. (those are; 2:50; 2:164; 5:96; 6:59; 6:63; 6:97; 7:138; 7:163; 10:22; 10:90; 14:32; 16:14; 17:66; 17:67; 17:70; 18:61; 18:63; 18:79; 18:109 and 18:109 use #2; *20:77; [“dry area of sea” removed as said] 22:65; 24:40; 26:63; 27:63; 30:41; 31:27; 31:31; 42:32; 44:24; 45:12; 52:6 and 55:24) We then search for the number of uses of the word “land” to find there are exactly 13. (those are; 5:96; 6:59; 6:63; 6:97; 10:22; 17:67; 17:68; 17:70; 20:77; 27:63; 29:65; 30:41 and 31:32.) So, that’s 32 uses of “sea” and 13 uses of “land” for a total of 45 uses. Well, the ratio of 13/45 = 28.8 and 32/45 = 71.1 and . . . Encyclopedia Britannica published in 1911 says Geographs had then estimated Earths’ Land/Sea ratio as 29% (28.8 rounded) and 71% (71.1 rounded!) figures which stand True for the ratio of land to sea on Earth to this day!!! And know this is a “kiddie proof” for God!
2:51 And when We appointed for Moses forty nights
they took to worshipping the calf when he had gone
then you were wrongdoers.
2:52 But We pardoned you
that you might be grateful.
2:53 And when We gave Moses the Torah and made clear what is Right and wrong in the 10 Commandments and other Laws
that you might be Rightly Guided.
2:54 And when Moses said to his people:
O my people you have wronged your souls by your worshipping the calf!
So turn to your Maker and kill yourselves
that is best for you in the Sight Of God.
Yet then again He Turned Towards you in Forgiveness
He Being The Receptive, The Merciful.
2:55 And when you demanded: O Moses we will not believe thee until we see God plainly. Fools making ultimatums!
So the thunderbolt took you
while you were looking on. God Just Killed them all!
2:56 Then We raised you up after your death
so that again you might be grateful.
Now He Has Shown the Israelites His Ultimate Power over life and death by “raising them up” which is what He Promises is going to happen on the Day of Resurrection. When one stops to think about this life and Gods’ Total Control over Absolutely Everything there are a lot of possibilities likened to a simulation such as the Matrix or Avatar. Something is up! Error towards caution with Wise Fear!
2:57 And We caused the cloud to overshadow you and sent down upon you manna and quail saying:
Eat of the Good things that We have provided you.
And they wronged us not
but they wronged their souls.
Manna is thought to be a sort of nectar secreted by the tamarisk tree or any number of bush like plants and of course quails are birds, living things. They ate the quail, which required killing of animals with souls which is illegal when not necessary because other food existed.
2:58 And when We said: Enter this city and eat freely of it what you will
and enter the gate in submission
and say: Unburden us of our past sin!
We will forgive you your errors
and will give increase to the doers of Good.
2:59 Then those who did wrong changed the saying
to other than what was said to them. They changed the context of “thou shall not kill” into not killing people only.
And We sent down a scourge from the sky upon those who did wrong because they were wantonly criminal.
2:60 And when Moses asked for water for his people
We said: Strike the rock with thy staff.
Then twelve springs gushed therefrom
each tribe knew its drinking place
so eat and drink of the Provision Of God and
do not commit evil in the Earth working corruption!
2:61 And when you said: O Moses we are tired of having only one food
so call to thy Lord for us that He Bring Forth for us of what the Earth brings out of its herbs
and its cucumbers
and its corn
and its lentils
and its onions.
He said: Would you exchange what is lessor for what is Higher? The Manna provided directly From God via miracle/s is Higher.
First get you down to a home and settle in it
then you will have what you ask.
Then humiliation and poverty were pitched upon them.
They incurred the Wrath Of God because they were ungrateful for His Gifts.
And they would seek to kill the prophets without cause because they opposed God and exceeded all bounds.
2:62 Those who believe and hold to monotheism
and the christians
and the sabaeans biblical peoples of Sheba in southern Bedouinia
and whoso believes in God and the Last Day and works Righteousness
they have their Reward with their Lord
and they need not fear nor will they regret.
2:63 And when We took your agreement and raised the mountain above you saying:
Hold fast to what We give you Scriptures with Miracles/Proofs
and remember what is therein
that you might be in Wise Fear. This confirms an Abrahamic Hindi story from about 200 years prior to Moses when God Let Krishna lift a mountain over the people as a sign and to force a covenant upon them.
2:64 Then you turned away after that
and were it not for the Bounty Of God upon you and His Mercy
you would have been among the losers.
2:65 And you knew those among you who transgressed the Sabbath rebellious jews circumvent the Sabbath in every way they can
so We said to them: Be like despised apes!
2:66 And We made it an exemplary lesson to those at its time
and times following it
a Warning to those of Wise Fear.
2:67 And when Moses said to his people: who idolized cows
God Commands you to sacrifice a heifer.
They said: Does thou make mockery of us?
He said: I seek Refuge In God lest I be of the ignorant.
2:68 They said: Call thou to thy Lord for us that He Make Clear to us what she need be. they’re stalling
He says: She is a heifer neither young nor old
a middling in between
now do what you are Commanded.
2:69 They said: Call to thy Lord for us that He Make Clear to us what her hue is.
He said: She is a yellow heifer
bright is her hue
making glad the beholders.
2:70 They said: Call to thy Lord for us that He Make Clear to us exactly what she is
as heifers seem alike to us
and if God Should Will we will be Rightly Guided.
2:71 He said: She is a heifer neither broken to plough the Earth
nor to water the crops
perfect
no blemish on her.
They said: Now thou has brought the Truth
then they sacrificed her
though they had almost not been able.
2:72 And when you killed that soul reread, animals have souls
you disputed about it
but God Was To Bring Forth what you concealed.
2:73 And they were told to strike the heifers body
then God Gave Life To it which was dead and
hence demonstrates His Proofs to you
that you might use reason. God Brought it Back to life!
2:74 But your hearts became hard again after that
like porous stones or harder. non-porous stones
Not like small stones of gravel and sand through which gush forth springs
or those when cracked can only then leak water
and others like believers that fall crashing down on their faces in Prayer from Fear of God.
God is not unmindful of what mankind does.
2:75 Do you hope that they should believe you when some of them the pharisees listened to the Word Of God
then twisted it after understanding it?
And they know.
2:76 And when they meet those who believe they say:
We believe. But when they are alone with one another they say: Do you advise them what God Has Really Revealed that they are ET/jinn human hybrids (DIIs) from Gen 6:4
so that they might use it against us before The Lord?
Let none of us do that!
2:77 Or do they not know that God Knows what they keep secret and what they make known?
2:78 And among them are those unlettered who cannot read/write
they do not know the Torah only fantasies
yea they only guess.
2:79 So woe to those who miswrite the Torah with their hands then say:
This is From God
that they might sell it for a cheap price. Speaking of jew-ish pharisees who re-wrote the original Sanskrit, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, etc scriptures to deceive and oppress We the Adamite People. But not this Arabic Quran!!!
So woe to them for what their hands write
and woe to them for what they earn.
2:80 And they say: The Fire will not touch us except for days numbered. Speaking of the false idea that Hell isn’t Eternal.
Say: Have you taken a pledge With God
for God does not fail in His Pledge!
Or do you think it is safe to assume of God that which you do not know?
2:81 Verily whoever earns evil
their errors will encompass them.
Those are the companions of the Fire
wherein they do abide Eternally.
2:82 But those who believe and do deeds of Righteousness
they are the companions of the Garden
wherein they too abide Eternally.
2:83 And when We took an agreement from the children of Israel saying:
Serve not other than God
and towards parents Good conduct
and towards kin
and the fatherless
and the poor
and speak kindly to people
and uphold the Prayer
and be conscious of Gods’ Presence.
All except a few turned away
yea most turned aside.
2:84 And when We took your agreement
to not shed blood of your people
and not expel your own from your homes
you confirmed and bore witness.
2:85 Then you are those who kill your own
and expel some of you from their homes
going against them in falsehood and deep seated dislike?
And if captives come to you you ransom them
but unlawful for you was their expulsion. explained later
So do you believe in part of the Torah and deny part?
The reward of those who do this is only degradation in the life of this world
and on the Day of Resurrection they are sent to the Harshest Punishment
for God is not unmindful of anything you do.
2:86 These purchase the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter
so the Punishment will not be lightened for them
and they will not be helped.
2:87 And We gave Moses the Torah and sent the messengers after him.
Yea We gave Yeshua son of Mary Clear Signs
and strengthened him with Gabriel the Spirit of Holiness.
Is it not that whenever a messenger came to you with what your souls did not desire
you were proud and rejected them
and even sought to kill them?
2:88 And they realize: Our hearts are covered! Imagine that!
Yea they realize the Truth is God Has Cursed them for their denial and hence sparsely can they believe.
2:89 And now comes to them this Book From God confirming Books already with them the Vedas and Bible
wherein they sought victory over disbelief before.
But when what they recognized as Gods’ Word comes to them again they now deny it?
That is clearly the Curse Of God upon fools.
2:90 Evil is that for which they sold themselves by denying what God Sent Down.
So God Sends Down of His Bounty upon whom He Wills of His Servants
but some incurred wrath upon wrath
and in the end for those fools
is a Humiliating Punishment.
2:91 So when it is said to them: Believe in What God Has Sent Down
they say: We believe in what was sent down before then they deny what is sent after that
when it too is the Truth confirming what is with them.
Say: Why did you want to kill the Prophets Of God if you be believers?
2:92 Like Moses who came with Clear Proofs Signs and Miracles
then while he was away you worshipped the calf
yea you were wrongdoers.
2:93 And when We took your agreement and
raised the mountain above you saying:
Hold fast to what We give you and listen
they said: We hear but we oppose.
For they were steeped with love for the calf in their hearts because of their ingratitude.
Say: Evil is what your false religion enjoins upon you
if only you had been correct believers.
2:94 Say: If the Abode of the Hereafter With God is for you but not for the rest of mankind
then wish for death now if you are Truthful.
2:95 They will never wish for it because of what their hands have sent before them
and God Knows these wrongdoers.
2:96 And thou will find the greediest for life are
among polytheists who serve other than God.
One of them would love to be given the span of a thousand years
but it would not remove them from the
Punishment were they to be given the span.
God Sees what they do.
2:97 Say: Whoever was an enemy to Gabriel
knows he is who brings it the Quran down upon thy heart by Gods’ Permission confirming what is within its scope similar teachings given to us in Gods’ Prior Scriptures
as Guidance and Glad Tidings for the monotheists.
2:98 Verily whoever is an enemy to God
and His Angels
and His Messengers
and His Archangels Gabriel and Michael
then God Becomes The Enemy to such fools.
2:99 We have sent Clear Proofs down to thee
and only the wantonly disobedient fools deny them.
2:100 When they make promises do most not break them?
Truly is it is because they do not believe. In God or His Laws
2:101 So when a Messenger From God comes to them confirming what is with them previous scriptures
the talmudists cast the Commandments Of God behind their backs
as if they were not From God.
2:102 Yea they follow what the degenerate inhuman imposters had read out loud in the casting of spells
during the reign of Solomon.
But Solomon denied not
while the degenerate inhuman imposters
taught humanity sorcery thereby
what was sent down to Babylon with the two angels
Harut and Marut.
And these two taught no one before saying:
We are but a test so do not disbelieve!
Then they learned spells from them by which
they cause division between man and wife
but in Truth they do not harm others with them except by Gods’ Permission. to test mankind
What they learn profits them not it only harms them
and they knew that whoever bought it then has no share in the Hereafter.
So evil is that which they sell their souls for
had they only known.
2:103 Had they believed
and been in Wise Fear
Recompense From God would have been better.
Yea had they only known.
2:104 O you who believe
say not: Comply with us
but rather: Examine us
and listen
because for fools
is a Painful Punishment.
2:105 Do not be like the deceived
among the talmudic jews
and the polytheists
who do not want anything Good to be sent down upon you From your Lord. This speaks of an intense jealousy held by jews, DIIs and disbelievers towards believers. In the back of their minds, they know they’re wrong/condemned.
Yea God Chooses His Mercy for whom He Wills
and God Is The One Possessing Unending Bounty.
2:106 And whenever We nullify something
We bring better than it or the like thereof.
Know thou not that God Is Powerful Over All Things?
2:107 Yea does thou not know that To God
To Him Belongs the Dominion of the Heavens and the Earth?
And you have neither ally nor protector besides God.
2:108 If you desire to challenge your messenger as Moses was asked before they asked him to tell God to Show Himself know that whoever chooses disbelief instead of faith has strayed far from the Straight Path.
2:109 Many among the talmudic jews long to turn you back as nontheists after your faith
out of envy from their souls
after the Truth has become clear to them.
But pardon and forbear until God Brings His Command
for God Is Powerful Over All Things.
2:110 And uphold the Prayer
and be conscious of Gods’ Presence
for what Good you send ahead for your souls
you will find it With God. This oft repeated message means whatever believers invest in time, effort or other for God will be returned to us. Everyone can think of this as “guaranteed karma”!
Know that God Sees Everything you do.
2:111 And they say: None enter the Garden except
talmudic jews or christians.
Those are their vain desires!
So say: Bring your evidence if you be Truthful. Only true believers in YHWH and His Proofs are successful!
2:112 Verily whoever submits to God and is a doer of Good
their Reward is With their Lord
and they need not fear
nor will they regret. It’s simple, is it not?
2:113 Yet still the talmudic jews say:
The christians have nothing to stand upon when they read the gospel
and the christians say:
The talmudic jews have nothing to stand upon when they read the talmud.
Thus say all those who do not know
and God Will Be Judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differed.
2:114 And who is denser than one who hinders those to places of worship of God
or prevents His Name Of YHWH being remembered
seeking to undermine believers? Talmudic jews have forever tried to stop We The People from worshipping YHWH by His Name.
For is it not for believers to congregate and worship without fear?
Hence those who hinder get degradation in this world.
Yea and in the Hereafter they have a Horrifying Punishment.
2:115 And the East and the West Belong To God
wherever you turn
there is The Face Of God.
Indeed God Encompasses and He Is The All Knowing.
2:116 And they say: God has taken a son.
Utterly remote is the thought that He would have a human son!
The Truth is Everything in the Heavens and the Earth Belongs To Him
and To Him Everything and Everyone are morally obligated.
2:117 The Originator of the Heavens and the Earth!
And when He Decrees a thing He Only Says to it:
Be thou!
And it is.
2:118 And those who do not know say: O that God would only speak to us
or that a Proof would come to us!
And those before them said likewise
because their hearts are similar.
But We have made the Proofs clear for people who seek them.
2:119 We sent thee Mohamet with the Truth as a bearer of Glad Tidings and a Warner
but thou are not responsible for companions of Hell.
2:120 And the degenerate inhuman imposters will not be pleased with thee
nor the christians
unless thou follows their false creeds.
Say: The Guidance Of God that is the Guidance!
But if thou follows their vain desires after the Knowledge has come to thee
thou will have neither ally nor protector from God.
2:121 Those We gave the Torah who read it with the reading due it
these believe in it.
And whoever denies it
those are the losers.
2:122 O children of Israel remember My Care wherewith I Favored you
and how I Advantaged you over all mankind.
2:123 And be in Wise Fear of the Day no soul will avail another soul anything
nor will compensation be accepted from it
nor will intercession benefit it
nor will they be helped by anyone. Each person stands alone!
2:124 And when his Lord Tried Abraham with words
he fulfilled them. He told him to sacrifice his son Ishmael.
So God Said: I Will Make thee a leader for mankind
and he said: And of my progeny?
God Said: My Pledge does not extend to wrongdoers of any bloodline. There is no guarantee, it’s every souls’ choice!
2:125 And when We made the Kaaba a meeting place for mankind and a place of security.
And the house of Abraham is a place of Prayer
for We commissioned Abraham and Ishmael saying:
Purify this house
for those traveling
for those local
for those who bow down yea all the submitters.
That verse #2:125 (++++=10) is the First mention of Gods’ First Temple in Earths’ First city of Mecca, Arabic “Bakkah”. It’s called the “mother of the cities” herein. [6:92, 42:7] According to Google Earth, Mecca is at 21 degrees, 25 minutes longitude! That is not a coincidence! Also, of even more amazingness is once again we find one of the most important numbers in Creation, “the golden ratio” of 1.618 or roughly .61 is deeply encoded herein; The Kaaba is 21.2 x 13.1 meters and 21.2/13.1= 1.618! The Kaabas’ coordinates are east +39.82 and north +21.42 which is indeed at the Earth’s golden ratio point! We can see this by calculating the distance of the Kaaba to the poles AND to the equinox line in BOTH WAYS. As covered earlier, Mecca’s distance to the North Pole is 763,168 km and to the South pole is 1,234,832 km. 1234832/763168 = 1.618 or in simpler, ancient terms 61 Phi! 90° + 21.42 = 111.42. And 111,42 divided by 180° = 61! And 180° + 39.82 = 219.82. Divide 219.82 by 360° = 61.! And Mecca’s distance (west) to the equinox line divided by Earth’s perimeter = 61. Mecca’s distance (west) to the equinox line divided by Mecca’s distance (east) to the equinox line = 61. The inner ratios of the lines that pass through Mecca and combining the poles and the equinoxes = 61. In another verse about Mecca and Kaaba [3:96] the number of Arabic letters until the word Mecca is 29. If we divide 29 with the number of the verses’ total of 47 letters = 61. Note; Those numeric values derived from the longitudes and latitudes above can only be performed in this one single point in the world and Great God Chose this as Mecca! Then He Designed this Holy Quran to be deeply encoded with the Golden Ratio which He Used everywhere in His Creation! We also see this throughout the Bible. For instance in the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant, the alter of Moses and even Noahs’ Ark! All glory to YHWH!!!
2:126 And when Abraham Prayed: My Lord make this a secure land
provide its people some fruits
for those who believe in You and the Last Day.
He Replied: Yes and also for whoever denies
I Will Let them enjoy a little too
then I Will Drive them to the Punishment of the Fire
that Loathsome Eternal Misery is their Journeys’ End.
2:127 And when Abraham and Ishmael built the foundation of the Kaaba they Prayed:
Our Lord please Accept this work of ours
for Thou Are The All Hearing, All Knowing.
2:128 Our Lord Make us submitted to Thee
and of our progeny peoples submitted to Thee
and Show us our rites and Turn in Forgiveness to us
for Thou Are The Relenting, The Merciful.
2:129 Our Lord Raise Up messengers among them
reading to them Thy Signs from previous messengers
and teaching them the Commandments and Wisdom
and increasing them in God Consciousness
for Thou Are The Almighty, The Wise.
2:130 And who is averse to the creed of Abraham but those who deceive themselves?
Yea We chose him in this world
and in the Hereafter he is among the Righteous.
2:131 When his Lord Said to him: Submit thou
he said: I submit to The Lord of the Worlds!
2:132 The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons
as did Jacob when he said:
O my sons God Has Chosen the Doctrine for you
so do not die until you are submitted!
2:133 If you were witnesses
when death was present with Jacob
when he said to his sons:
What will you serve after me?
They said: We will serve thy God!
God of thy fathers Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac.
Yea The One God
to Him we are submitted.
2:134 That is a community which has come and gone
it has what it earned
and you will have what you earn
and you will not be questioned about what they did.
2:135 And they ask: Those who hold to talmudism or are christians are these Rightly Guided?
Say: Nay. Only the creed of Abraham
monotheism inclines one to Truth
and he was not of the polytheists.
2:136 Say: We believe in God and what is sent down to us
and what was sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the grandsons.
And What Was Given to Moses and Yeshua and the other prophets From their Lord.
We make no hierarchy between any of them
and to their God to Him we are submitted.
2:137 Then if they believe in the like of that in which you believe
they have been Rightly Guided.
But if they turn away
they are only in breach
and God Will Suffice for thee against them
for He Is The All Hearing, All Knowing.
2:138 The Colors of Life are From God
and who is better To Color than God?
Yea Him Alone do we serve.
2:139 Say: Dispute you with us concerning God when He Is our Lord and your Lord, The One?
If so to us be our works and to you be your works
but to Him Alone we ourselves are sincere.
2:140 If you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the grandsons were those holding to talmudism or christianity
do you know best or Does God? Neither talmudism nor christianity existed in their day.
And who is denser than one who confuses Clear Truth From God?
God is not unmindful of anything you do.
2:141 That is a community which has come and gone
it has what it earned
as you have what you earn
and you will not be questioned about what they did.
2:142 And the foolish among some will ask:
What has turned those who used to disbelieve from their directions of Prayer which they had before? i.e the sun, moon, planets, jinn, pharaohs, idols etc.
Say: To God Belongs the East and the West
and He Guides whom He Wills to the Straight Path.
2:143 And thus We made you an intermediary community
that you might be witnesses to mankind
and that the messenger might be a witness to you.
And We only made the course which you were on that We might know those who follow the messenger
from those who turn on their heels.
And it is a hard matter except for those whom God Guides
for God would not let your faith be in vain
indeed God Is Merciful towards mankind.
2:144 Yea We saw thee turning thy face towards the sky
but We will turn thee towards that which will satisfy thee.
So direct thou thy face towards the Kaaba
wherever you be
direct your faces towards it. Northerly from the Americas.
Some of those in possession of the Torah know
that this is the Truth From their Lord
and God is not unmindful of what they do.
2:145 But if thou bring those in possession of the talmud every Proof
they will not follow thy course
and thou will not follow their course
and they will not follow each others course.
And if thou follow their vain desires after what has come to thee of Knowledge
then thou will be of the wrongdoers.
2:146 Those whom We gave the Torah recognize
it just as they recognize their children
but some among them conceal the Truth
and these know.
2:147 The Truth is From thy Lord
so be not of those who doubt.
2:148 So for each is a direction to turn in Prayer
but vie with one another in Good deeds
then wherever you be
God Will Bring you one and all. This is a prophecy of how God Will Gather the best of believers with the al-Mahdi for victory in end times.
God Is Powerful Over All Things.
2:149 Yea in whatever manner thou goes out
direct thy face towards the Kaaba.
It is the Truth From thy Lord
and God is not unmindful of anything you do.
2:150 Yea in whatever manner thou goes out
direct thou thy face towards the Kaaba
wherever you be
direct your faces towards it.
So that others might have no argument against you except those who do wrong among them.
And fear them not but fear Me
that I Might Show My Care for you
and that you might be Rightly Guided.
2:151 Like How I Have Sent you a messenger from among you
reading to you Our Previous Signs
and increasing you in God Consciousness
and teaching you the Commandments and Wisdom
yea showing you What you did not know.
2:152 So remember Me
I Will Remember you.
And be grateful to Me
and deny Me not.
2:153 O you who believe seek Help From God in resolve and Prayer
for God Is With the resolute.
2:154 And do not say of those killed for the Cause Of God:
They are dead.
The Truth is they are living but you do not know.
Those who die fighting for God are guaranteed success according to Revelation 14:9 and now here. This is why True believers are eager to fight for God, it’s the only sure way to Heaven regardless of your previous sins. Hence only sincere believers are allowed to fight for God. Also worthy of mention is that if you survive, fighting alone is succeeding as well!
2:155 And We will try you all with something of fear and
hunger and loss of wealth and lives and fruits of labor.
So give Glad Tidings to the ones who remain steadfast.
2:156 Those who when misfortune befalls say with thanks:
We Belong To God and To Him we are returning. All of lifes’ hardships are tests and lessons which if “appreciated” as they can be, make good people focus more on God and the unseen. They help us succeed!
2:157 Upon these are duties that end with Mercy From their Lord.
Yea these are the Rightly Guided.
2:158 Al ṣafa and al marwa the 2 hills near the Kaaba are among the Tokens Of God
whoever made pilgrimage to the house or visited
they did no wrong to move about between them.
And to who does Good voluntarily
God Is Grateful, Knowing.
2:159 But those who conceal what We sent down of Clear Evidence
and Guidance after We made it clear in the Torah
these are Cursed By God
and cursed by those who curse.
2:160 Yet those who repent and do Right and make clear
these are those towards whom I Turn In Forgiveness.
For I Am The Receptive, The Merciful.
2:161 But those who are deceived and die in such a state
upon those is the Curse Of God
and of angels
and of mankind one and all. Hence our state of knowledge, faith and repentance at the time of death is the overriding factor in Judgement.
2:162 They will dwell Eternally in Hell
and the Punishment will not be lightened for them nor will they be granted respite.
2:163 Know your God Is One God
there is no god but YHWH, The Merciful.
2:164 His is the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth
and the Alternation of night and day
and the ships which plough through the sea with what benefits mankind.
And what God Sent Down of water from the sky then Gave Life thereby to the Earth after its death
and Spread Therein every sort of creature.
And in the circulation of the winds
and the clouds made serviceable between the Heavens and the Earth.
These are all Proofs for people who reason.
2:165 And among humans are who serve other than God jinn
loving their whispers with a love like the love for God
but those who believe are firmer in love for God.
Had only those who do wrong seen
what they will see in the Punishment
and that All Power Belongs To God
and that God Is Severe in Punishment.
2:166 When those who were served will disown those who served them. Polytheists who foolishly thought they were invoking God in their rituals were actually just invoking jinn and being possessed by them telepathically. Study Truth #1 at 5Truths.com
And they will face the Punishment alone
the connections between them cut off.
2:167 And those who served and were possessed by the jinn will say:
Were we to return we would disown them just as they have disowned us!
Thus Will God Show them their deeds as regrets for them
but they will never come out of the Fire.
2:168 O mankind eat of what is Lawful and Good in the Earth
and do not follow the footsteps of the murderous degenerate inhuman imposters. Killers of innocent animals.
Yea they are open enemies to you.
2:169 They only enjoin evil and indecencies upon you
and make you serve their fathers the jinn as gods who you do not see or know.
2:170 And when it is said to them: Follow What God Has Sent Down
they say: Nay we follow what we found our fathers following.
Even though their fathers did not reason and were not Rightly Guided.
2:171 The example of these deceived is like that of one who yells to another who does not listen.
It is only a call and a shout
from those who themselves were unwilling to hear
and unwilling to speak
and unwilling to see
they do not use reason.
2:172 And O you who believe eat of the Good Things We provided you foods that don’t require harm to innocent animals
and be grateful to YHWH if it is Him you serve.
2:173 He Has Only Made Unlawful to you murdered animals
and blood
and the flesh of swine even if starving because of trichinosis
and that dedicated to other than God. blood sacrificed
But whoever is forced due to necessity while facing starvation
neither desiring nor transgressing
no crime is against them.
God Is Forgiving, Merciful.
2:174 Those who conceal What God Revealed in the Torah i.e. the truth about “do not kill” by changing it in trade for favor/money from rulers
these eat into their bellies only of the Fire.
And God will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection
nor will He increase them in God Consciousness now
indeed they have a Painful Punishment.
2:175 These are they who purchase error at the price of Guidance and suffering at the price of Forgiveness
how they do seem to strive for the Fire!
2:176 Because God Sent Down the Torah intact
and those who differ concerning it are in extreme breach. The original Hebrew in the Torah is clear about dietary laws.
2:177 And it is not virtuous that you solely turn your faces towards the east and the west. During Prayer
Virtuous is
whoever believes in God
and the Last Day
and the angels
and the scriptures
and the prophets. FYI; That’s the 5 core requirements of faith.
And gives wealth in spite of love for it to relatives
and the fatherless
and the needy
and the wayfarer
and those who ask
and to freed slaves
and whomever upholds the Prayer
and is conscious of Gods’ Presence
and those who keep their covenant when they make it
the resolute during affliction or adversity and in battle.
These are they who are sincere
and these are those of Wise Fear.
2:178 O you who believe
just requital is ordained for you concerning one killed.
The freeman for the freeman
the slave for the slave
and the female for the female.
But whoever is pardoned anything by his brethren
let the pursuance be according to what is fitting
and the payment to them with Good conduct.
That is an Alleviation and Mercy From your Lord
and whoever transgresses after that
they have a Painful Punishment.
2:179 And there is Life for you in just retaliation
O you possessed of insight
that you might be Righteous.
2:180 Ordained for you when death comes to one of you
if they leave property
bequeath it to parents
and close relatives
according to what is fitting
as binding upon those of Wise Fear.
2:181 And whoever changes the Law after knowing it
the falsehood thereof is only upon those who change it
and God Is The All Hearing, All Knowing.
2:182 But whoever suspects partiality or sin of a testator and then makes Right the situation
no sin can be upon them
for God Is Forgiving, Merciful.
2:183 O you who believe
fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you because it’s great for our health and constitution
so perhaps you will be in Wise Fear and have health.
2:184 Fasting is prescribed for numbered days. during Ramadan
Then whoever is sick among you or on a journey
a number of days afterwards.
And for those who cannot fast due to lack of body fat or other
is redemption
for feeding the needy.
Whoever does Good voluntarily
it is better for them
and that you fast is better for you
if you only knew.
2:185 The month of Ramadan was that in which the
Quran was sent down
as mercy for mankind
and as Clear Evidence of the Guidance and the difference between Right and wrong.
Then whoso among you witnesses the moon
let them fast in it.
And whoever of you is sick or on a journey
a number of other days afterwards
because God Desires ease not hardship for you.
So complete the number of days
and magnify God for Guiding you
this that you might find success and be grateful.
2:186 And when My Servants question thee concerning Me
say: I Am Near
and I Answer the call of the caller when they call to Me.
So let them respond to Me and let them believe in Me
that they might be Rightly Guided.
2:187 It is Lawful for husbands to go in unto wives on the night of the fast
for they are a covering for you and you are a covering for them.
God Knew that you deceived yourselves and He Turned In Mercy Towards you and Pardoned you
henceforth lay with them and seek What God Has Ordained for you.
And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn can be seen under the black veil of night
then continue the fast until night again
but have no romance when in the places of worship.
Those are the Limits Of God
so approach them not.
Thus Does God Make Clear His Proofs to mankind
that they might be in Wise Fear.
2:188 And consume not your wealth among yourselves in vanity or squander
nor bribe authorities that you might consume some of the property of the community through falsehood.
You know.
2:189 They ask thee about the new moons
so say: They are measurements of time for the people and the pilgrimage to the house at Mecca
and remind it is not virtue that you approach houses by the backs thereof
but virtue is
whoever is in Wise Fear of God.
So approach houses by the gates thereof
and be in Wise Fear of God
that you might be successful.
2:190 And fight for the Cause Of God against those who fight you
but do not transgress the limits
for God loves not the transgressors.
2:191 So kill them wherever you gain the ascendency over oppressors and persecutors No eye for an eye here, kill them!
and expel them in what manner they expelled you.
And know persecution is worse than killing. by far!
But do not fight them in the Kaaba
unless they fight you therein
and if they do fight you therein
kill them.
Thus is the penalty for fools.
2:192 But if they desist
God Is Forgiving, Merciful.
2:193 So fight them until there are no more means of oppression and the Doctrine for all is Gods’.
And when those desist
have no more hostility except for the wrongdoers.
2:194 Yea the sacred moon is for the sacred month
and for inviolable deeds is just reciprocation
so whoever transgresses against you
transgress against them just as they transgressed against you.
But be in Wise Fear of God
and know that God Is Always With those of Wise Fear.
2:195 And spend for the Cause Of God
and do not cast your hands towards ruin by fighting unnecessarily.
Yea and do Good
for God Loves the doers of Good.
2:196 And complete the pilgrimage and the attendance for God
but if you are prevented
then what is feasible of the sacrificial gifts. Good deeds
And do not shave your heads until the deeds are done.
But whoever among you is sick or has mental problems
their redemption is a fast or charity or penance.
And when you are secure
then whoever prefers the attendance to the pilgrimage
then what is easy of the requirement.
And whoever has not the wherewithal
a fast of three days during the pilgrimage and seven when you have returned
that is ten in all.
That is for one whose people are not present at the Kaaba.
And be in Wise Fear of God
knowing that God Is Severe In Retribution.
2:197 The pilgrimage is on months appointed
and whoever undertakes the pilgrimage therein
let there be no sexual approach
and no wanton disobedience
or quarrelling
during the pilgrimage.
And whatever Good you do
God Knows it.
And take provisions
knowing the best provision is Wise Fear.
So be in Wise Fear of Me
O you possessed of insight.
2:198 You do no wrong to seek Favor From your Lord.
And when you expound on subjects known
then remember God with the inviolable sense.
Remember Him and how He Guided you
when you were among those astray before.
2:199 Again press on in what manner others have pressed on
and seek the Forgiveness Of God
for God Is Forgiving, Merciful.
2:200 And when you have concluded your rites
then remember God like you remember your fathers
or stronger.
Among losers are those who say:
Our Lord Give us gifts in this world.
These have no portion in the Hereafter.
2:201 But among them are also those who say:
Our Lord Give us Goodness in this world
and in the Hereafter
yea Protect us from the Punishment of the Fire.
2:202 These may have a portion from what they earn
and God Will Be Swift In the Reckoning of it all.
2:203 And remember God during days numbered of pilgrimage
and whoever makes haste in two days
no sin is against them
and whoever stayed behind
no sin is against them
for these are who consciously revere God.
Lo be in Wise Fear of God
and know that you will be gathered to Him.
2:204 And among you are those whose speech concerning the life of this world impresses thee
and they call God To Witness Over what is in the heart
yet they are the most quarrelsome of people.
2:205 And when they turn away they hasten through the land to do evils therein while destroying crops and corrupting progeny. of Gods’ Original Creation (i.e. Adamites)
God loves not corruption!
2:206 And when it is said: Be thou in Wise Fear of God
pride takes them with sin.
Yea so Hell is their Reckoning
and it is a miserable Eternal Prison.
2:207 And among mankind are those who sell their possessions seeking the Pleasure Of God.
God Is Kind to these servants.
2:208 O you who believe enter into submission completely
and do not follow the footsteps of any degenerate inhuman imposter
they are open enemies to you.
2:209 And if you slip after Clear Evidence has come to you
then know that God Is Mighty, Wise.
2:210 Do some only wait for God and the angels to come at them from the shadows of the clouds when the matter of their deeds will be decided?
Unto God are all matters referred.
2:211 Ask the children of Israel how many a Clear Proof We gave them.
And to whomever gives false witness of Gods’ Proofs
God Will Be Severe In Retribution.
2:212 Life of this world is made to seem fair to the deceived
and those who deride believers.
But those who are in Wise Fear will be above the rest on the Day of Resurrection
and God Gives to whom He Wills without measure.
2:213 Humanity was one community
then God Raised Up prophets as bearers of Glad Tidings and Warners
and Sent Down the Books intact with them to judge between mankind concerning that wherein they differed.
And there differed therein only those who were given it after Clear Evidence had come to them
through jealousy between them. of which prophets were best
But God Guided those who heeded warning to the Truth wherein they differed by His Permission
and God Guides whom He Wills to the Straight Path.
2:214 Do you think you will enter the Garden without facing similar tests as those who came and went before you?
Tribulations and adversity touched them
and they were shaken until the messenger and those who heeded warning with him Prayed:
When is the Help Of God?
In Truth the Help Of God is always near.
2:215 They ask thee how they should spend for God
so say: Whatever you spend of Good
for parents
and close relatives
and the fatherless
and the needy
and the wayfarer
and whatever you do of Good
God Knows it.
2:216 And fighting is ordained for you
though it be disliked by you.
Yea it may be that you are averse to a thing and it is beneficial for you.
And it may be that you love a thing and it is detrimental for you.
God Knows
and you do not.
2:217 They ask thee about the sacred month
whether there is fighting during it.
Say: Fighting during it is grave
but forsaking the Path Of God
or disbelieving in Him
or expelling people from the Kaaba
is graver With God.
Yea persecution is worse than killing.
And they will not cease fighting you until they turn you from your belief if they are able.
And whoever among you turns from their belief
and dies as a fool
their works in this world are in vain for the Hereafter.
Those are the companions of the Fire
wherein they will abide Eternally.
2:218 But those who believe
and emigrate
and strive for the Cause Of God
these have hope for the Mercy Of God
and God Is Forgiving, Merciful.
2:219 They ask thee about intoxicants and games of chance
so say: In each are both great sin and benefits
but their sin is greater than their benefits.
And they ask thee what they should spend for God
so say: The surplus.
Thus Does God Make His Advice Clear to you
that you might reflect
2:220 on this present world and the World To Come.
And they ask thee about the fatherless
so say: Helping them is best
and if you live with them
then they are your brethren.
And God Knows the worker of corruption from the doer of Right.
And had God Willed He Would Have Overburdened you
God Is Mighty, Wise.
2:221 The following is good advice for believers because our faiths become weakened/diluted from associating, especially living with, erring fools. And do not marry female polytheists until they believe.
A believing slave girl is better than a female polytheist even though she may impress you.
And do not give in marriage to the male polytheist until they believe.
A believing male slave is better than a polytheist though he may impress you.
These invite to the Fire
and God Invites to the Garden
with Forgiveness By His Permission.
And He Makes Clear His Proofs to humanity
that they might take heed.
2:222 And they ask thee about menstruation
so say: It is a hindrance
keep away from women during menstruation
do not approach them until they are clean
and have purified themselves.
Then approach them in the manner God Has Commanded you.
God Loves the contrite
and He Loves those who purify themselves.
2:223 Your women are your cultivation
so approach your cultivation as you will
and put forward progeny for yourselves.
And be in Wise Fear of God
and know that you will meet Him.
And bear Glad Tidings to the believers.
2:224 And let not your oaths to God keep you from virtue. Don’t use them as excuses for not doing what’s Right.
And be in Wise Fear
and make things Right between others
for God Is The All Hearing, All Knowing.
2:225 God takes you not to task for mistakes in your oaths
He Takes you To Task for what your hearts intend
but God Is Forgiving, Forbearing.
2:226 For those considering divorce is a mutual oath of four months abstinence
then if they resolve
behold God Is Forgiving, Merciful.
2:227 But if they divorce
God Is The All Hearing, All Knowing.
2:228 And those divorced women shall wait by themselves three menstrual courses
for it is not Lawful for them to conceal what God Has Created in their wombs
if they believe in God and the Last Day.
And their husbands have more right to take them back during that time if they desire to make things Right.
And due to women is the like of what is due from them according to what is fitting
but men have a degree over women. Because the mans’ bloodline/surname is at stake and his children, especially males, are often valued assets for the success and safety of his family, progeny and clan.
And God Is Mighty, Wise.
2:229 Divorce is revocable twice
then retaining according to what is fitting or releasing with kindness and honor.
And it is not Lawful for you to take anything from what you have given women
unless both fear that they might not uphold the Limits Of God.
Then if they both fear that they will not uphold the Limits Of God
they do no wrong if she frees herself choosing to give up what is hers thereby.
Those are the Limits Of God
transgress them not.
For whoever transgresses the Limits Of God
these are the wrongdoers.
2:230 And if he divorces her she is not Lawful to him thereafter and she may marry a spouse other than him.
Then if he divorces her they do no wrong to return to each other
if they consider that they will uphold the Limits Of God
and those are the Limits Of God.
He Makes Them Clear for people who know.
2:231 And when men divorce women and their term be reached
allow them to stay according to what is fitting
or help them leave according to what is fitting
but do neither to hurt them
for who does that has wronged his soul.
And make not mockery of the Proofs Of God
and remember the Grace Of God towards you and what He Has Sent Down to you of the Book
and the Wisdom whereby He Exhorts you.
And be in Wise Fear of God
knowing that God Knows All Things.
2:232 And when you divorce women and their term be reached
hinder not their marrying new spouses
when they come to terms according to what is fitting.
That is exhorted to who among you believes in God and the Last Day.
That is purer and cleaner for you
and know God Knows
while you do not.
2:233 And mothers shall suckle their children two whole years
for such as wish to complete the suckling.
And upon the father is their provision and their clothing according to what is fitting
but no soul is burdened beyond its capacity.
A mother shall not be hurt by her child
nor he to whom the child is born by his child.
And upon the heir is the like of that
and if they desire weaning by mutual consent and consultation between them
then they do no wrong.
And if you desire to seek one to suckle your children
then you do no wrong
when you ensure the safety of what you have brought according to what is fitting.
And be in Wise Fear of God
knowing that God Sees Everything you do.
2:234 And those of you who die and leave behind wives
they shall wait by themselves four months and ten
when their term be reached.
Then you do no wrong in what they do concerning themselves according to what is fitting
and God Is Aware of Everything you do.
2:235 And you do no wrong in what you intimate to women of engagement or hide within yourselves
God Knows that you will remember them.
But make not nor take an oath with them secretly except that you speak a fitting word.
And do not bind a marriage until the prescribed term.
And know that God Knows what is within your souls
so fear Him
while knowing that God Is Forgiving, Forbearing.
2:236 You do no wrong if you divorce women when you have neither touched them nor appointed for them an obligation
but make them a gift.
The wealthy according to his means
and the poor according to his means
a gift according to what is fitting
is binding upon the doers of Good.
2:237 And if you divorce them before you have touched them but have appointed for them an obligation
then half of what you appointed
unless they forgo it
or he in whose hand is the marriage contract forgoes it.
And to forgo is nearer to Wise Fear
yea forget not kindness among you
God Sees Everything you do.
2:238 Keep to the silent Prayers often
and to the spoken Prayer of midday
and stand up for God with others in Prayer and deeds
devoutly dutiful.
2:239 And if you fear stopping to bow in Prayer
Pray while walking or riding
then bow when you are later secure
and remember God as He Taught you what you knew not.
2:240 And those among you who die and leave behind them wives
the bequest to them is provision for a year without expulsion
then if they leave
you do no wrong in what they do concerning themselves according to what is fitting.
2:241 And for divorced women provision according to what is fitting is binding upon those of Wise Fear.
2:242 Thus Does God Make Clear to you His Ways
that you might use reason.
2:243 Has thou not considered those who left their houses in thousands to fight while fearing death?
Then God Said: Die!
And they did so then He Gave them Life
for God Is Bountiful Towards humanity
but most are not grateful.
2:244 Yea fight for the Cause Of God
and know that God Is The All Hearing, All Knowing.
2:245 Who is it who will lend a goodly loan to God that He Might Multiply it by many multiples to them?
God Constricts and Expands His Provisions
and to Him you will be returned.
2:246 Has thou not considered the eminent ones of the children of Israel after Moses
when they said to a prophet unto them:
Raise thou up for us a king
and we will fight for the Cause Of God.
He said:
Would you possibly not fight if fighting be ordained for you?
They said: And why should we not fight for the Cause Of God when we and our children have been expelled from our homes?
Then when fighting was commanded for them they turned away except a few of them.
And God Knows these wrongdoers.
2:247 Then their prophet Samuel said to them: God Has Raised Up Saul for you as King.
They said: How can he get dominion over us when we have more right than he who is not as wealthy as us?
He said: God Has Chosen him over you and Increased him in extent of knowledge and stature
for God Bestows His Dominion upon whom He Wills
and God Encompasses us all, He Knows.
2:248 And their prophet said to them:
A Proof of his Kingship is that there will come to you the ark of the covenant to provide Tranquility in your hearts From your Lord.
In it is a remnant of what the houses of Moses and Aaron left behind that is carried by angels
and in that is a Proof for you if you be believers.
2:249 Then when Saul set out with his army he said:
God Will Try you with a river.
Whoever drinks thereof is not with me
yea whoever tastes it is not with me
except one who scoops up a handful with their hand.
And they drank thereof except a few of them
then when he and those who believed with him had crossed it the others who stayed behind said:
We have no power against goliath and his forces this day.
Then those who knew they would meet God replied:
How many a small company has overcome a mighty company by Gods’ Permission!
God Is With the steadfast yea those of faith.
2:250 Then when they emerged against goliath and his forces they said:
Our Lord pour out confidence upon us and make our feet firm
and help us against the people who deny.
2:251 Then they defeated them by Gods’ Permission
and David killed goliath.
God Gave him of His Dominion and Wisdom and Taught him of what He Willed.
And if God were not to Repel some people by means of others the Earth would become totally corrupt
but God Is Bountiful Towards mankind.
2:252 Those are the Proofs Of God
We recite them to thee in Truth
and thou are among the messengers.
2:253 We gave certain preferences to some messengers over others
and among them are those with whom God Spoke Directly
yea He Raised some among them in differing degrees.
We gave Yeshua son of Mary Miracles for Clear Evidence
and strengthened him with the Spirit of Holiness. Gabriel
And had God not Wanted fighting between believers and non they would not have fought.
But they differed
some of them Righteous and others not
still had God Willed they would not have fought one another.
Yea and God Does What He Wills With Good Reason.
2:254 O you who believe spend wisely of what We have provided you before there comes a Day wherein is neither commerce
nor friendship
nor intercession
for the fools
who are the wrongdoers.
2:255 YHWH.
There is no god but He
The Living, The Eternal.
Neither sleep nor slumber overtake Him
and Unto Him Belongs Everything in the Heavens and the Earth.
Who can intervene with Him except by His Permission?
He Knows what is in front of them and behind them
and they grasp nothing of His Knowledge beyond what He Wills.
His Throne overspreads the Heavens and the Earth
and the sustaining of all thereof wearies Him not.
Yea He Is The Exalted, The Tremendous, The Incomprehensible. 2:255 is known as the “Pinnacle Verse”, re-read!
2:256 There is no compulsion forcing in the way of religious life
but there is distinction between Right and wrong.
And whoever abandons their idols believing in God
has grasped a Firm Hand That will not fail them
for God Is The All Hearing, All Knowing.
2:257 Yea God Is The Ally of those who believe!
He Brings them out of darkness into the Light.
But for the deceived their protectors are jinn
they bring them out of the Light into darkness.
These are the companions of the Fire
wherein they abide Eternally.
2:258 Has thou not considered the one who disputed with Abraham concerning his Lord after God Had Given him of His Dominion?
When Abraham said: My Lord Is He Who Gives Life and Gives Death.
He replied: I can grant life and cause death.
Abraham countered: God Brings the sun from the east
so thou bring it from the west if you be equal.
Then the denier was lost for words
for God guides not the wrong doing people.
2:259 Or like one passing by a city
that was desolate
he said: Can God Give Life to this after its death?
So God Caused him to die for a hundred years
then Raised him Up
and God Said: How long has thou lingered?
Said he: I feel to have tarried a day or part of a day.
God Said: The Truth is thou tarried a hundred years!
Yet look at thy food and drink
and see they have not decayed
and look at thy donkey as it was 100 years ago.
Yea We will use this as a Proof for mankind.
And look at thy bones how We revive them then clothe them with flesh
then when it had become clear to him he said:
Lo. God Is Powerful Over All Things!
2:260 And when Abraham said: My Lord Show me how Thou Gives Life to the dead
God Said: Does thou not believe?
Said he: Verily but that my heart should be at ease.
God Said: Take to thyself four dead birds
then put them upon different hills
and call to them
and watch how they will come to thee in haste
so know God Is Mighty, Wise. Thus how God Calls us to Him.
2:261 The parable of those who spend their wealth for the Cause Of God is like the example of a single grain which sprouts seven ears
in each a hundred grains.
God Returns manifold increases to whom He Wills
for God Is All Encompassing, All Knowing.
2:262 Yea those who spend their wealth for the Cause Of God
then go forward without remorse
nor doubt about having done so
they have their Reward With their Lord
and they need not fear
nor will they regret it.
2:263 Likewise a kind word and forgiveness are better than charity followed by complaints or regrets
and know God Is Free From need, Forbearing.
2:264 O you who believe do not make your
charity vain with hurtful reminders or be
like the one who spends their wealth to be seen by others and believes not
in God and the Last Day.
Their parable is like that of bedrock whereon is rich soil
then a heavy rain rinses it bare.
So the vain possess nothing of what they had
and God guides not the fools.
2:265 And the parable of those who spend their wealth
seeking the Pleasure Of God
as a certainty for the future of their souls
is like the example of a garden at high elevations.
The rain fell upon it and it yielded double fruit
and if rain fell not upon it then dew and it still grew.
Yea and God Sees Everything you do.
2:266 Does one among you cherish gardens of date palms and grapes beneath which rivers flow
they having every sort of fruit therein?
Then old age befell
without strength nor help like a nonbeliever
and a cyclone of fire fell upon it and it was burned up.
Thus does God Make Clear to you the examples
so that you might ponder.
2:267 O you who believe spend wisely of the Good things you earn and of what We bring forth for you from the Earth.
And do not give charity in manners you would not take it for yourselves without shame.
And know that God Is Free From need, Praiseworthy.
2:268 The degenerate inhuman imposters promise you oppression and enjoin sexual immoralities upon you
but God Promises you Forgiveness and His Bounty.
God Who Is All Encompassing, All Knowing.
2:269 He Gives Wisdom to whom He Wills
and to whom His Wisdom is Given
they have been Given Much Good
but only those possessed of insight take heed.
2:270 And whatever you spend on others or vow to spend
God Knows it.
And for the wrongdoers there are no protectors.
2:271 If you are public with your charity
it is still Good charity
but if you secretly give to those in need
it is excellent!
And He Will Excuse some of your mistakes
for God Is Always Aware of Everything you do.
2:272 Not upon thee O messenger is the Guidance
God Guides whom He Wills.
And what you spend in Goodness
it is spent upon yourself
so spend only seeking the Face Of God
then what you spend of Good will be repaid in full to you and you will not be wronged.
2:273 For those who are wrapped up and consumed
doing works in the Ways Of God
or are disabled or unable to work the Earth
the ignorant considers them free from need due to their not begging for help.
Thou will know them in this way.
They do not ask for they wish not to trouble others.
And what you spend of Good
God Knows it.
2:274 Those who spend their wealth for God by night and day
secretly and openly
these have their Reward With their Lord
and they need not fear
nor will they regret.
2:275 Those who charge interest will not stand yea those who degenerate inhuman imposters touched saying:
Commerce is the same as usury.
But God Has Made commerce Lawful and Prohibited usury.
And to whom the Warning From their Lord came and then they desisted
they have Good in their past and their case is With God.
But whoever goes back
these are the companions of the Fire
wherein they abide Eternally.
2:276 Yea God Eliminates usury and Increases charity
and God loves not every false ingrate.
2:277 Those who believe and do deeds of Righteousness
and uphold the Prayer
and show consciousness of Gods’ Presence.
These have their Reward With their Lord
and they need not fear
nor will they regret.
2:278 O you who believe be in Wise Fear of God and give up what remains of usury if you are believers.
2:279 And if you do not give it up
be informed of War From God and His Messenger.
But if you repent
to you are your principal sums
so wrong not and you will not be wronged.
2:280 And if there is a debtor in hardship
then deferment of payments until ease.
But that you forgive by way of charity is better for you
if you would know. Give of what God Gave you!!!
2:281 And be in Wise Fear of a Day in which you will be returned to God
when every soul will be paid in full what it has earned
and they will not be wronged.
2:282 O you who believe when you contract with one another any debt for a fixed term
write it down
and let the one who writes be sound and just.
And let not the one who writes refuse to write it as God Has Taught us.
So let them write
and let whoever takes on the obligation read it aloud
and let them be in Wise Fear of God their Lord not omitting anything thereof.
But if whoever takes on the obligation is incompetent
or weak
or unable to read it aloud
their ally shall read it aloud with justness.
And call two witnesses from among your men
but if there be not two men
a man and two women among those you approve as witnesses because women often leave clans upon divorce or widowing
for if one of them should err
they might remind the other.
And let not witnesses refuse when they are called
and be not weary of writing it whether small or great in amount or term.
That is more just in the Sight Of God
and more upright for witnessing
and nearer to there being no misgivings between you.
But if there be established trust when you transact with some among you
then you do no wrong that you write it not.
And take witnesses when you enter into other contracts together
and let not one who writes or a witness be coerced.
And if you do
then is it wanton disobedience among you.
So be in Wise Fear of God
as God Is Teaching you
and God Knows All Things.
2:283 And should you be on a journey not finding one who writes
a pledge of trust in hand.
And if you trust one another
let one who is trusted discharge their trust
and let them be in Wise Fear of God their Lord.
And do not conceal payments
for they who conceal them
their hearts are false.
And God Knows what you all do.
2:284 To God Belongs Everything in the Heavens and the Earth
and whether you reveal what is within yourselves or hide it God Will Call you to account for it.
He Forgives whom He Wills and Punishes whom He Wills.
God Is Powerful Over All Things.
2:285 The messenger believes in What is sent down to him From his Lord as do all monotheists.
Each believes in God and His Angels and His Laws and His Messengers.
We make no distinction between any of His Messengers
for they all say: We hear and we obey
seeking Thy Forgiveness our Lord
and to Thee is our Journeys’ End.
2:286 God does not impose upon a soul beyond its capacity
and it has what it earns
and it answers for what it acquires.
So Pray: Our Lord take us not to task if we forget or err.
And: Our Lord lay Thou not upon us a burden as Thou did upon those before us!
Yea our Lord impose Thou not upon us beyond what we are able
and Excuse us
and Forgive us
and Have Thou Mercy upon us.
For Thou Alone Are our Benefactor
so Help us against all fools who deny the Truth.
