CHAPTER SURAH BAQRAH 241 - 255

 QURAN TAFSIR (QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

2:241. And for those divorced to have a recompense is an obligation upon the righteous.*[[65:6-7]


2:242. It is such that Allah clarifies for you His revelations that you may comprehend.


2:243. Did you not see those who left their homes in groups, all the while they were fearful of death; so Allah said to them: "Die," then He resurrected them. Allah has bestowed a great grace over the people, but most of the people are not thankful.


2:244. And fight in the cause of Allah and know that Allah is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.

[Fight only in self-defense, and against oppression since Allah does not love aggressors. 2:190. ]


2:245.  Who will lend God a loan of righteousness that He may multiply it for him many times over?  collects and He distributes, and to Him you will return.


2:246.  Did you not note the leaders of the Children of Israel after Moses, they said to their prophet: "Send us a king that we may fight in the cause of Allah;" he said: "Are you not concerned that if fighting is decreed for you, you will then not fight?" They said: "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been expelled from our homes along with our children." So it was, that when fighting was decreed for them they turned away, except for a few of them! Allah is fully aware of the wicked.


2:247.  And their prophet said to them: "Allah has sent Saul to you as a king." They said: "How can he have the kingship when we are more deserving than him, and he has not been given an abundance of wealth?" He said: "God has chosen him over you and increased him in knowledge and physical stature." Allah grants His sovereignty to whom He chooses; and Allah is Encompassing, Knowledgeable.


2:248.  And their prophet said to them: "The sign of his kingship shall be that he brings to you the ark in which there is tranquility from your Rabb and the legacy of what was left behind by the descendants of Moses and the descendants of Aaron being carried by the angels. In this is a sign for you if you are believers."


2:249.  So when Saul set out with the soldiers, he said: "Allah will test you with a river, whoever drinks from it is not with me, and whoever does not taste from it except one scoop with his hand is with me." They all drank from it, except for a few of them. So when he and those who believed with him crossed it, they said: "We have no power today against Goliath and his soldiers!" But the ones who understood that they would meet Allah said: "How many a time has a small group beaten a large group with the permission of Allah, and Allah is with the patient ones!"


2:250.  And when they came forth to Goliath and his soldiers, they said: "Our Rabb grant us patience, and make firm our foothold, and grant us victory over the disbelieving people."


2:251. So they defeated them with the permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingship and the wisdom and taught him what he wished. And if it were not for Allah defending the people against themselves, then the earth would have long been corrupted; but Allah has bestowed grace upon the worlds.

[12:22.  And when he reached his independence, We gave him judgement and knowledge. It is thus that We reward the good doers.

22:39. Permission has been given to those who are being fought - for they have been wronged. And Allah is able to give them victory.

28:14.  And when he reached his independence and was established, We bestowed him with wisdom and knowledge. We thus reward the good doers. ]


2:252.  These are the revelations of Allah, We recite them to you with the truth, and you are one of the messengers.


2:253.  Such messengers, We have preferred some over others; some of them talked to Allah, and He raised some of them in rank, and We gave Isa, son of Mariyum, the clear proofs and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. And had Allah wished, the people after them would not have fought after the proofs had come to them, but they disputed, some of them believed and some of them rejected. If Allah had wished they would not have fought, but Allah does what He pleases.

[All Messengers were one in purpose.

2:136. Say: "We believe in Allah and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Rabb; we do not make a distinction between any of them and to Him we submit."

2:285.  The messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Rabb; and the believers, all who believe in Allah, and His angels, and His Books, and His messengers: "We do not make a distinction between any of His messengers;" and they said: "We hear and obey, forgive us our Rabb, and to you is our destiny."

Allah did not create human beings like programmed robots. He endowed men and women with free will, and never ordained compulsion in deen

2:256.  There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been clarified from the wrong way. Whoever rejects evil, and believes in Allah, indeed he has taken grasp of the strongest hold that will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.

Allah makes His laws in the World of Command as He wills, and implements them in the World of Creation

7:54.  Your Rabb is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in six eras, then He settled upon the Throne. The night runs away from the day, which seeks it continually; and the sun and the moon and the stars are commissioned by His command; to Him is the creation and the command. Glory to Allah, Rabb of the worlds.

And He never changes His laws.

6:15. Say: "I fear if I disobey my Rabb, the retribution of a great Day!"

6:34.  Messengers before you were denied, but they were patient for what they were denied, and they were harmed until Our victory came to them; there is no changing the words of Allah. News of the messengers has come to you.

7:54. Your Rab is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in six eras, then He settled upon the Throne. The night runs away from the day, which seeks it continually; and the sun and the moon and the stars are commissioned by His command; to Him is the creation and the command. Glory to Allah, Rabb of the worlds.

10:64.  For them are glad tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. There is no changing the words of Allah. Such is the great triumph.

17:77. Such was the way of those whom We had sent before you of Our messengers. And you will not find any change in Our way.

30:30. So establish yourself to the system of monotheism. It is the inclination that God has nurtured the people on. There is no changing in the creation of God. Such is the pure system, but most of the people do not know.

33:62. This is the way of Allah with those who have passed away before, and you will not find any change in the way of Allah.

35:43. 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.

48:23.  Such is the way of Allah with those who have passed away before, and you will not find any change in the way of Allah.*

Ruh-il Qudus = Ruh-ul Qudus = The Noble Revelation = Jibriel

2:87. And We gave Moses the Book, and after him We sent the messengers. And We gave Isa, son of Maryium, the clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that every time a messenger comes to you with what your souls do not desire, you become arrogant? A group of them you deny, and a group of them you kill!

5:110.  Allah said: "O Isa, son of Maryium, recall My blessings upon you and your mother, that I supported you with the Holy Spirit; you spoke to the people in the cradle and middle-age; and I taught you the Book and the wisdom, and the Torah, and the Injeel; and you would create from clay the shape of a bird, then blow into it and it becomes a bird with My permission; and you would heal the blind and the leaper with My permission; and you would bring out the dead with My permission. And I have restrained the Children of Israel from you, that you came to them with proofs; but those who rejected among them said: 'This is clearly magic!'"

16:102.  Say: "The Holy Spirit has brought it down from your Rabb with the truth, so that those who believe will be strengthened, and as a guidance and good news for those who have submitted." ]


2:254.  O you who believe, spend from what We have provided for you before a Day comes when there is no trade, nor friendship, nor intercession; and the rejecters are the wicked.


2:255.  Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Sustainer. No slumber or sleep overtakes Him; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who will intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows their present and their future, and they do not have any of His knowledge except for what He wishes. His Throne encompasses all of the heavens and the earth and it is easy for Him to preserve them. He is the Most High, the Great.

[Commonly known as Ayat-al-Kursi Verse of the Throne, is greatly revered by many Muslims for its grandeur, eloquence and blessing.

Shafa’ah = Commonly translated as Intercession = To stand up as witness = Give evidence = Vindicate the truth.

2:48.  And beware of a Day when no soul can avail another soul, nor will any intercession be accepted from it, nor will any ransom be taken, nor will they have supporters.

2:123.  And beware of a Day when no soul can avail another soul, nor will any amendment be accepted from it, nor will any intercession help it; they will not be supported.

4:85.  Whoever intercedes with a good intercession, he will have a reward of it; and whoever intercedes with an evil intercession, he will receive a share of it. And Allah has control over all things.

6:51.  And warn with it those who realize that they will be gathered to their Rabb; they do not have besides Him any ally nor intercessor; perhaps they will be righteous.

6:70.  Leave alone those who have taken their system for play and distraction, and this worldly life has tempted them. And remind with it that a soul will suffer for what it has earned, it will not have besides Allah any supporter nor intercessor; and even if it brings all justice, none will be accepted from it. These are the ones who have suffered with what they have earned; for them will be a boiling drink, and a painful retribution for what they had rejected.

10:3.  Your Rabb is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He settled upon the Throne; He manages all affairs. There is no intercessor except after His permission. Such is Allah your Rabb, so serve Him. Would you not remember?

19:87.  None will possess intercession, except for he who has taken a pledge with the Almighty.

20:109.  On that Day, no intercession will be of help, except for he whom the Almighty allows and accepts what he has to say.

21:28.  He knows their present and their future, and they cannot intercede unless it is for those whom He is pleased with. And, from His concern, they are worried.

32:4.  Allah is the One who has created the heavens and the earth, and what is between them in six eras, then He settled upon the Throne. You do not have besides Him any Rabb, nor intercessor. Will you not then remember?

34:23.  "Nor will intercession be of any help with Him, except for whom He has already given leave." Until when the fear has subsided from their hearts, they ask: "What did your Lord say?" They will say: "The truth!" And He is the Most High, the Great.

39:44.  Say: "To Allah belongs all intercession." To Him belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you will be returned.

43:86.  And those whom they call on besides Him do not possess any intercession; except those who bear witness to the truth, and they fully know.

74:48.  So no intercession of intercessors could help them.]
