Inna allatheena amanoo waallatheena hadoo waalnnasara waalssabi-eena man amana biAllahi waalyawmi al-akhiri waAAamila salihan falahum ajruhum AAinda rabbihim wala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona\n62. Those who believe (in the Qur-\u0101n),\n And those who follow the Jewish (scriptures),\n And the Christians and the Sabians,\u2014\n Any who believe in God\n And the Last Day,\n And work righteousness,\n Shall have their reward\nWith their Lord: on them\n Shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.\n63. Wa-ith akhathna meethaqakum warafaAAna fawqakumu alttoora khuthoo ma ataynakum biquwwatin waothkuroo ma feehi laAAallakum tattaqoona\n63. And remember We took\n Your Covenant\n And We raised above you\n (The towering height)\n Of Mount (Sinai):\n (Saying): \"Hold firmly\n To what We have given you\n And bring (ever) to remembrance\n What is therein:\n Perchance ye may fear God.\"\n64. Thumma tawallaytum min baAAdi thalika falawla fadlu Allahi AAalaykum warahmatuhu lakuntum mina alkhasireena\n64. But ye turned back thereafter:\n Had it not been for the Grace\n And Mercy of God to you,\n Ye had surely been\n Among the lost.\n65. Walaqad AAalimtumu allatheena iAAtadaw minkum fee alssabti faqulna lahum koonoo qiradatan khasi-eena\n65. And well ye knew\n Those amongst you\n Who transgressed\n In the matter of the Sabbath:\n We said to them:\n \"Be ye apes,\n Despised and rejected.\"\n66. FajaAAalnaha nakalan lima bayna yadayha wama khalfaha wamawAAithatan lilmuttaqeena\n66. So We made it an example\n To their own time\nAnd to their posterity,\n And a lesson\n To those who fear God.\n67. Wa-ith qala moosa liqawmihi inna Allaha ya/murukum an tathbahoo baqaratan qaloo atattakhithuna huzuwan qala aAAoothu biAllahi an akoona mina aljahileena\n67. And remember Moses said\n To his people: \"God commands\n That ye sacrifice a heifer.\"\n They said: \"Makest thou\n A laughing-stock of us?\"\n He said: \"God save me\n From being an ignorant (fool)!\"\n68. Qaloo odAAu lana rabbaka yubayyin lana ma hiya qala innahu yaqoolu innaha baqaratun la faridun wala bikrun AAawanun bayna thalika faifAAaloo ma tu/maroona\n68. They said: \"Beseech on our behalf\n Thy Lord to make plain to us\n What (heifer) it is!\"\n He said: \"He says: the heifer\n Should be neither too old\n Nor too young, but of middling\n Age: now do what ye are commanded!\"\n69. Qaloo odAAu lana rabbaka yubayyin lana ma lawnuha qala innahu yaqoolu innaha baqaratun safrao faqiAAun lawnuha tasurru alnnathireena\n69. They said: \"Beseech on our behalf\n Thy Lord to make plain to us\n Her colour.\" He said: \"He says:\n A fawn-coloured heifer,\n Pure and rich in tone,\n The admiration of beholders!\"\n70. Qaloo odAAu lana rabbaka yubayyin lana ma hiya inna albaqara tashabaha AAalayna wa-inna in shaa Allahu lamuhtadoona\n70. They said: \"Beseech on our behalf\n Thy Lord to make plain to us\n What she is: to us are all heifers\n Alike: we wish indeed for guidance,\n If God wills.\"\n71. Qala innahu yaqoolu innaha baqaratun la thaloolun tutheeru al-arda wala tasqee alhartha musallamatun la shiyata feeha qaloo al-ana ji/ta bialhaqqi fathabahooha wama kadoo yafAAaloona\n71. He said: \"He says: a heifer\n Not trained to till the soil\n Or water the fields: sound\n And without blemish.\" They said:\n \"Now hast thou brought\n The truth.\" Then they offered\n Her in sacrifice,\n But not with good-will.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section...","type":"page"}
