Sura Ii. Baqara, Or The Heifer. Section 21

*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Ii.: Baqara, Or The Heifer.

Section 21

168.
Ya ayyuha aLnnasu kuloo mimma fee al-ardi halalan tayyiban wala tattabiAAoo khutuwati aLshshaytani innahu lakum AAaduwwun mubeenUn

168. O
ye people!

Eat of what is on earth,

Lawful and good;

And do not follow

The footsteps of the Evil One,

For he is to you

An avowed enemy.

169.
Innama ya/murukum biALssoo-i waAlfahsha-i waan taqooloo AAala Allahi ma la taAAlamoonA

169.
For he commands you

What is evil

And shameful,

And that ye should say

Of God that of which

Ye have no knowledge.

170.
Wa-itha qeela lahumu ittabiAAoo ma anzala Allahu qaloo bal nattabiAAu ma alfayna AAalayhi abaana awa law kana abaohum la yaAAqiloona shay-an wala yahtadoonA

170. When it is said to them:


"Follow what God hath revealed:"

They say: "Nay! we shall follow

The ways of our fathers."

What! even though their fathers

Were void of wisdom and guidance?

171.
Wamathalu allatheena kafaroo kamathali allathee yanAAiqu bima la yasmaAAu illa duAAaan wanidaan summun bukmun AAumyun fahum la yaAAqiloonA

171.
The parable of those

Who reject Faith is

As if one were to shout

Like a goat-herd, to things

That listen to nothing

But calls and cries:


Deaf, dumb, and blind,

They are void of wisdom.

172.
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum waOshkuroo lillahi in kuntum iyyahu taAAbudoonA

172.

173.
Innama harrama AAalaykumu almaytata waALddama walahma alkhinzeeri wama ohilla bihi lighayri Allahi famani idturra ghayra baghin wala AAadin fala ithma AAalayhi inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemUn

173.
He hath only forbidden you

Dead meat, and blood,

And the flesh of swine,

And that on which

Any other name hath been invoked

Besides that of God.

But if one is forced by necessity,

Without wilful disobedience,

Nor transgressing due limits,--

Then is he guiltless.

For God is Oft-forgiving

Most Merciful.

174.
Inna allatheena yaktumoona ma anzala Allahu mina alkitabi wayashtaroona bihi thamanan qaleelan ola-ika ma ya/kuloona fee butoonihim illa aLnnara wala yukallimuhumu Allahu yawma alqiyamati wala yuzakkeehim walahum AAathabun aleemUn

174.
Those who conceal

God's revelations in the Book,

And purchase for them

A miserable profit,--

They swallow into themselves

Naught but Fire;

God will not address them

On the Day of Resurrection,

Nor purify them:


Grievous will be

Their Penalty.

175.
Ola-ika allatheena ishtarawoo aLddalalata biAlhuda waAlAAathaba biAlmaghfirati fama asbarahum AAala aLnnarI

175.
They are the ones

Who buy Error

In place of Guidance

And Torment in place

Of Forgiveness.

Ah! what boldness

(They show) for the Fire!

176.
Thalika bi-anna Allaha nazzala alkitaba biAlhaqqi wa-inna allatheena ikhtalafoo fee alkitabi lafee shiqaqin baAAeedIn

176.
(Their doom is) because

God sent down the Book

In truth but those who seek

Causes of dispute in the Book

Are in a schism

Far (from the purpose).
