Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo anfiqoo mimma razaqnakum min qabli an ya/tiya yawmun la bayAAun feehi wala khullatun wala shafaAAatun waalkafiroona humu alththalimoona\n254. O ye who believe!\n Spend out of (the bounties)\n We have provided for you,\n Before the Day comes\n When no bargaining\n (Will avail), nor friendship\n Nor intercession.\n Those who reject Faith\u2014they\n Are the wrong-doers.\n255. Allahu la ilaha illa huwa alhayyu alqayyoomu la ta/khuthuhu sinatun wala nawmun lahu ma fee alssamawati wama fee al-ardi man tha allathee yashfaAAu AAindahu illa bi-ithnihi yaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yuheetoona bishay-in min AAilmihi illa bima shaa wasiAAa kursiyyuhu alssamawati waal-arda wala yaooduhu hifthuhuma wahuwa alAAaliyyu alAAatheemu\n255. God! There is no god\n But He,\u2014the Living,\n The Self-subsisting, Eternal.\n No slumber can seize Him\n Nor sleep. His are all things\n In the heavens and on earth.\n Who is there can intercede\n In His presence except\n As He permitteth? He knoweth\n What (appeareth to His creatures\nAs) Before or After\n Or Behind them.\n Nor shall they compass\n Aught of His knowledge\n Except as He willeth.\n His Throne doth extend\n Over the heavens\n And the earth, and He feeleth\n No fatigue in guarding,\n And preserving them\n For He is the Most High,\n The Supreme (in glory).\n256. La ikraha fee alddeeni qad tabayyana alrrushdu mina alghayyi faman yakfur bialttaghooti wayu/min biAllahi faqadi istamsaka bialAAurwati alwuthqa la infisama laha waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun\n256. Let there be no compulsion\n In religion: Truth stands out\n Clear from Error: whoever\n Rejects Evil and believes\n In God hath grasped\n The most trustworthy\n Hand-hold, that never breaks.\n And God heareth\n And knoweth all things.\n257. Allahu waliyyu allatheena amanoo yukhrijuhum mina alththulumati ila alnnoori waallatheena kafaroo awliyaohumu alttaghootu yukhrijoonahum mina alnnoori ila alththulumati ola-ika as-habu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona\n257. God is the Protector\n Of those who have faith:\nFrom the depths of darkness\n He will lead them forth\n Into light. Of those\n Who reject faith the patrons\n Are the Evil Ones: from light\n They will lead them forth\n Into the depths of darkness.\n They will be Companions\n Of the fire, to dwell therein\n (For ever).","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section...","type":"page"}
