CHAPTER 2 SURAH BAQRAH 5-6

 2:5 These are the ones guided by their Rabb, and these are the successful ones.

[Muflihoon from Fallaah = Farmer who ploughs the earth for seeding and gets an abundant crop in return.

Huda minr-Rabb = The Rabb light = This Qur’an to which one must turn with an open mind.

Those who approach it without clearing their minds of pre-conceived notions will fail to “touch” this Book.

For, that frame of mind defies reason and logic.

4:88. What is the matter with you that you are divided into two groups over the hypocrites, while Allah has regressed them for what they have earned? Do you want to guide those whom ALLAH astray? Whoever ALLAH causes to be astray, you will never find for him a path.*

5:15. O people of the Book,  Surely our messenger has come to you to clarify for you much of what you were hiding from the Book, and to pardon over much. A light has come to you from ALLAH and a clear Book.*

*23:1. Indeed, successful are the believers.*

*24:35. Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which there is a lamp, the lamp is encased in a glass, the glass is like a radiant planet, which is lit from a blessed olive tree that is neither of the east nor of the west, its oil nearly gives off light even if not touched by fire. Light upon light, Allah guides to His light whom He pleases. And Allah sets forth examples for the people, and Allah is aware of all things.

(Note: Advisory’ in 24:34 = Allah Light = Divinely originated Light = Divine Revelation = The Qur'an. 5:15, 20:51, 41:42, 42:52.

31:2. These are the signs of the Book full of wisdom.

42:5. The heavens would nearly shatter from above them, and the angels praise the glory of their Rabb, and they ask forgiveness for those on the earth. Surely, Allah is the oft- Forgiving, the Most Merciful.*

( Note: Malaekah = Angels = Forces in Nature.

*Yastaghfirun = They help protect like a helmet protects the head.

*Sabh = Swim in strides = Doing one’s best)*

56:79. *None can grasp it except those purified.]


2:6 As for those who reject, whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.

2:89-109.

And when a Book came to them from Allah, authenticating what is with them; while before that they were mocking those who rejected; so when what they knew came to them, they rejected it! The curse of Allah be upon the rejecters.

Miserable indeed is what they purchase with their souls, that they disbelieve in what Allah has sent down as a resentment that Allah would send down from His grace to whom He pleases of His servants; thus they have incurred wrath upon wrath. And the rejecters will have a humiliating retribution.

And if it is said to them: "Believe in what Allah has sent down;" they say: "We believe only in what was sent down to us," and they reject what came after it, while it is the truth authenticating what is with them. Say: "Why then did you kill the prophets of Allah if you were believers?"

And Moses had come to you with clear proofs, then you took the calf after him; you were wicked!

And We took your covenant, and raised the mount above you: "Take what We have given you with strength, and listen." They said: "We hear and disobey!" And they had consumed the calf inside their hearts by their disbelief. Say: "Miserable indeed is what your belief orders of you if you are believers!"

Say: "If the abode of the Hereafter has been set exclusively for you with Allah, to the exception of all other people, then you should wish for death if you are truthful!"

They will never wish for it because of what their hands have delivered; and Allah is aware of the wicked.

And you will find them the most obsessive people regarding longevity; even more than the polytheists; each one of them wishes that he could live a thousand years. It will not change for him the retribution even if he lived so long, Allah is watchful over what you do.

Say: "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel, then know that he has sent it down into your heart with the permission of Allah, authenticating what is with him, and a guide and good news for the believers."

"Whoever is an enemy to Allah  and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael, then so Allah is the enemy to the disbelievers."

We have sent down to you clear revelations; only the wicked would disbelieve in them.

 Is it that each time they make a pledge, a group of them breaks it? Alas, most of them do not believe.

And when a messenger came to them from Allah, authenticating what was with them, a group of those who had already received the Book placed the Book of God behind their backs as if they did not know.

And they followed what the devils recited regarding the kingship of Solomon. Solomon did not reject, but it was the devils who rejected by teaching people magic, and teaching them what was sent down on the two angels in Babylon, Haroot and Maroot. They did not teach anyone until they would say: "We are a test, so do not lose faith!" Thus they teach what can separate between a person and his mate; but they cannot harm anyone except with the permission of God. And they learn what harms them and does not benefit them, and they have known that he who purchases such has no place in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed is what they purchased with their souls if only they knew!

And had they believed and been righteous, it would have brought them a recompense with God which is far better if only they knew!

O you who believe, do not say: "Shepherd us," but say: "Be patient with us," and listen. For the rejecters is a painful retribution.

Neither do those who have rejected from among the people of the Book, nor from among the polytheists, wish that any good comes down to you from your Lord. But Allah chooses with His mercy whom He wishes; and from Allah is the greatest grace.

We do not duplicate a sign, or make it forgotten, unless We bring one which is like it or even greater. Did you not know that Allah is capable of all things?

Did you not know that to Allah is the kingship of the heavens and the earth, and that you do not have besides Allah any guardian or supporter?

Or do you want to ask your messenger as Moses was asked before? Whoever replaces belief with rejection, he has indeed strayed from the right path.

Many of the people of the Book have wished that they could return you to being rejecters after your believing, out of envy from their souls after the truth was made clear to them. You shall forgive them and overlook until Allah brings His will. God is capable of all things.

6:26. And they prohibit others from it, and keep away themselves from it; but they will only destroy themselves, yet they do not notice.

27:14. And they rejected them, while their souls knew, out of transgression and arrogance. So see how it ended for the wicked.

35:42-43. And they swore by Allah in their strongest oaths, that if a warner came to them, they would be the most guided of all nations, but when a warner came to them, it only increased their aversion!

Arrogance on the earth, and evil scheming. And the evil schemes only backfire on those who scheme them. Were they expecting anything different from the ways used on the people of the past? You will not find any change in the way of Allah, and you will not find any bypass to the way of Allah.

36:70. To warn those who are alive, and so that the retribution will be deserved by the rejecters.

41:26. And those who rejected said: "Do not listen to this Qur'an and make noise over it that you may succeed."

47:32. Those who have rejected and repelled from the path of Allah, and stood against the messenger; after the guidance has been made clear for them; they will not harm Allah in the least, and He will nullify their works.]
