CHAPTER SURAH BAQRAH 206 - 215

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

2:206. And if he is told: "Be aware of Allah," his pride leads him to more sin. Hell shall be sufficient for him; what a miserable abode!


2:207. And from among the people is he who sells his soul seeking the grace of Allah; Allahis kind to His servants.

[3:4. From before as a guidance for the people, and He sent down the Criterion. Those who rejected the revelations of Allah, they will have a severe retribution, and Allah is Noble, exacting in Revenge.

39:23. Allah  has sent down the best narrative, a Book that is similar, dual. The skins of those who are concerned towards their Rabb shiver from it, then their skins and their hearts soften up to the remembrance of Allah. Such is the guidance of Allah; He guides with it whoever He wills. And for whoever Allah  misguides, then none can guide him.

91:8. So He gave it its evil and good.]


2:208. O you who believe, join in peace, all of you, and do not follow in the footsteps of the devil. He is to you a clear enemy.

[Satan, the selfish desires, alienates man from the Creator and divides humanity. Mubeen = Open = Clear]


2:209.  But if you slip after the clarity has come to you, then know that Allah is Noble, Wise.

[He uses His Might with wisdom and His laws remain undefeated]


2:210.  Are they waiting for Allah to come to them shadowed in clouds with the angels? The matter would then be finished! And to Allah all matters are returned.

[They even have distorted belief about Allah moving up and down and of Divine Judgment. His Rule is the Rule of law]


2: 211. Ask the Children of Israel how many clear signs did We give them? And whoever changes the grace of Allah after it has come to him, then Allah is Mighty in retribution.


2:212. This worldly life has been made pleasing to the disbelievers, and they mock those who believe. And those who are righteous will be above them on the Day of Resurrection; Allah provides for whoever He wishes without a price.*

[He is the Rabb of all mankind 114:1]


2:213. The people used to be one nation, then Allah sent the prophets as bearers of good news and warners, and He sent down with them the Book with the truth so that they may judge between the people in what they were disputing. But after receiving the clarity, the people disputed in it due to animosity between them. And Allah guided those who believed with His permission regarding what they disputed in of the truth. And Allah guides whoever He wishes to a straight path.

[Satan, the selfish desires, had rent asunder the unity of mankind.

2:36.  So, the devil caused them to slip from it, and he brought them out from what they were in, and We said: "Descend; for you are enemies to one another; and on the earth you will have residence and provisions until the appointed time."

10:19.  The people were but one nation, then they differed. And had it not been for a previous command from your Rabb, the matter would have been immediately judged between them for what they differed.

Using the perceptual and conceptual faculties in all humility help people achieve guidance, while selfishness, arrogance and blind following lead them astray.

2:170.  And if they are told: "Follow what Allah has sent down," they say: "No, we will follow what we found our fathers doing!" What if their fathers did not comprehend anything and were not guided?

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 misguides? Whoever Allah causes to be misguided, you will never find for him a path.

6:56.  Say: "I am prohibited from serving those you call upon other than Allah" Say: "I will not follow your desires, otherwise I would go astray and I would not be of those guided."

7:173.  Nor can you say: "It was our fathers who set up partners before and we were simply a progeny who came after them. Would You destroy us for what the innovators did?"

7:179.  And We have given to Hell many of the Jinn and mankind; they had hearts with which they did not understand, and they had eyes with which they did not see, and they had ears with which they did not hear. They are like livestock; no, they are even more astray. These are the unaware ones.

17:36.  And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of; for the hearing, eyesight, and heart - all these you are responsible for.

27:80. You cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and flee.

30:22.  And from His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your tongues and your colors. In that are signs for the world.

37:113.  And We blessed him and Isaac. And from among their progeny, some are righteous, and some are clearly wicked.

40:34. "And Joseph had come to you before with proofs, but you remained in doubt regarding what he came to you with, until when he died, you said: "Allah will not send any messenger after him." It is such that Allah sends astray he who is a transgressor, doubter."

41:17.  And as for Thamud, We gave them the guidance, but they preferred blindness over guidance. Consequently, the blast of humiliating retribution annihilated them, because of what they earned.

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


2:214. Or did you expect that you would enter the Paradise, while the example of those who were before you came to you; they were stricken with adversity and hardship, and they were shaken until the messenger and those who believed with him said: "When is the victory of Allah?" Yes indeed, the victory of Allah is near.

[3:141.And Allah will prove those who believe and He will condemn the rejecters.

9:16. Or did you think that you would be left alone? Allah will come to distinguish those of you who strived and did not take other than Allah and His messenger and the believers as helpers. Allah is Expert in what you do.

29:2. Did the people think that they will be left to say: "We believe" without being put to the test?

33:10. For they came from above you, and from beneath you; and your eyes were terrified, and the hearts reached to the throat, and you harbored doubts about Allah.*

*Unity of mankind will not be easy to attain. The differences and prejudices of race, ethnicity, color, creed, wealth and nationalism will always be the barriers to surmount]


2:215. They ask you what they should spend, say: "What you spend out of goodness should go to your family and the relatives and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer. And any good you do, Allah is fully aware of it."
