Verse 2:162 in Context

Translator Abdel Haleem
158 ۞ إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلۡمَرۡوَةَ مِن شَعَاۤىِٕرِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَنۡ حَجَّ ٱلۡبَیۡتَ أَوِ ٱعۡتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیۡهِ أَن یَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَیۡرࣰا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِیمٌ ۝١٥٨ inna l-ṣafā wal-marwata min shaʿāiri l-lahi faman ḥajja l-bayta awi iʿ'tamara falā junāḥa ʿalayhi an yaṭṭawwafa bihimā waman taṭawwaʿa khayran fa-inna l-laha shākirun ʿalīmu Safa and Marwa are among the rites of God, so for those who make major or minor pilgrimage to the House it is no offence to circulate between the two. Anyone who does good of his own accord will be rewarded, for God rewards good deeds, and knows everything 159 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَكۡتُمُونَ مَاۤ أَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلۡهُدَىٰ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا بَیَّنَّـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِی ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ یَلۡعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَیَلۡعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّـٰعِنُونَ ۝١٥٩ inna alladhīna yaktumūna mā anzalnā mina l-bayināti wal-hudā min baʿdi mā bayyannāhu lilnnāsi fī l-kitābi ulāika yalʿanuhumu l-lahu wayalʿanuhumu l-lāʿinūn As for those who hide the proofs and guidance We send down, after We have made them clear to people in the Scripture, God rejects them, and so do others 160 إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ تَابُوا۟ وَأَصۡلَحُوا۟ وَبَیَّنُوا۟ فَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَیۡهِمۡ وَأَنَا ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٦٠ illā alladhīna tābū wa-aṣlaḥū wabayyanū fa-ulāika atūbu ʿalayhim wa-anā l-tawābu l-raḥīm unless they repent, make amends, and declare the truth. I will certainly accept their repentance: I am the Ever Relenting, the Most Merciful 161 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٌ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ لَعۡنَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝١٦١ inna alladhīna kafarū wamātū wahum kuffārun ulāika ʿalayhim laʿnatu l-lahi wal-malāikati wal-nāsi ajmaʿīn As for those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers, God rejects them, as do the angels and all people
162 خَـٰلِدِینَ فِیهَا لَا یُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمۡ یُنظَرُونَ ۝١٦٢ khālidīna fīhā lā yukhaffafu ʿanhumu l-ʿadhābu walā hum yunẓarūn They will remain in this state of rejection: their punishment will not be lightened, nor will they be reprieved
163 وَإِلَـٰهُكُمۡ إِلَـٰهࣱ وَ ٰحِدࣱۖ لَّاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٦٣ wa-ilāhukum ilāhun wāḥidun lā ilāha illā huwa l-raḥmānu l-raḥīm Your God is the one God: there is no god except Him, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy 164 إِنَّ فِی خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱخۡتِلَـٰفِ ٱلَّیۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلَّتِی تَجۡرِی فِی ٱلۡبَحۡرِ بِمَا یَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ وَمَاۤ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ مِن مَّاۤءࣲ فَأَحۡیَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَا وَبَثَّ فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ دَاۤبَّةࣲ وَتَصۡرِیفِ ٱلرِّیَـٰحِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ ٱلۡمُسَخَّرِ بَیۡنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَءَایَـٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ یَعۡقِلُونَ ۝١٦٤ inna fī khalqi l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa-ikh'tilāfi al-layli wal-nahāri wal-ful'ki allatī tajrī fī l-baḥri bimā yanfaʿu l-nāsa wamā anzala l-lahu mina l-samāi min māin fa-aḥyā bihi l-arḍa baʿda mawtihā wabatha fīhā min kulli dābbatin wataṣrīfi l-riyāḥi wal-saḥābi l-musakhari bayna l-samāi wal-arḍi laāyātin liqawmin yaʿqilūn In the creation of the heavens and earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the seas with goods for people; in the water which God sends down from the sky to give life to the earth when it has been barren, scattering all kinds of creatures over it; in the changing of the winds and clouds that run their appointed courses between the sky and earth: there are signs in all these for those who use their minds 165 وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن یَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَندَادࣰا یُحِبُّونَهُمۡ كَحُبِّ ٱللَّهِۖ وَٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوۤا۟ أَشَدُّ حُبࣰّا لِّلَّهِۗ وَلَوۡ یَرَى ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوۤا۟ إِذۡ یَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ أَنَّ ٱلۡقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِیعࣰا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِیدُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ۝١٦٥ wamina l-nāsi man yattakhidhu min dūni l-lahi andādan yuḥibbūnahum kaḥubbi l-lahi wa-alladhīna āmanū ashaddu ḥubban lillahi walaw yarā alladhīna ẓalamū idh yarawna l-ʿadhāba anna l-quwata lillahi jamīʿan wa-anna l-laha shadīdu l-ʿadhāb Even so, there are some who choose to worship others besides God as rivals to Him, loving them with the love due to God, but the believers have greater love for God. If only the idolaters could see- as they will see when they face the torment- that all power belongs to God, and that God punishes severely 166 إِذۡ تَبَرَّأَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتُّبِعُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتۡ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَسۡبَابُ ۝١٦٦ idh tabarra-a alladhīna ittubiʿū mina alladhīna ittabaʿū wara-awū l-ʿadhāba wataqaṭṭaʿat bihimu l-asbāb When those who have been followed disown their followers, when they all see the suffering, when all bonds between them are severed
