WHETHER YOU SHOW WHAT IS WITHIN YOURSELVES OR CONCEAL IT, ALLAH WILL BRING YOU TO ACCOUNT FOR IT. THEN HE WILL FORGIVE WHOM HE WILLS AND PUNISH WHOM HE WILLS, AND ALLAH IS OVER ALL THINGS COMPETENT. |
| 2:285 | آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿٢٨٥﴾ | THE MESSENGER HAS BELIEVED IN WHAT WAS REVEALED TO HIM FROM HIS LORD, AND [SO HAVE] THE BELIEVERS. ALL OF THEM HAVE BELIEVED IN ALLAH AND HIS ANGELS AND HIS BOOKS AND HIS MESSENGERS, [SAYING], "WE MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN ANY OF HIS MESSENGERS." AND THEY SAY, "WE HEAR AND WE OBEY. [GRANT US] YOUR FORGIVENESS, OUR LORD. AND TO YOU IS THE [FINAL] DESTINATION." |
| 2:286 | لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٢٨٦﴾ | ALLAH DOES NOT BURDEN A SOUL BEYOND THAT IT CAN BEAR. IT WILL HAVE [THE CONSEQUENCE OF] WHAT [GOOD] IT HAS GAINED, AND IT WILL BEAR [THE CONSEQUENCE OF] WHAT [EVIL] IT HAS EARNED. "OUR LORD, DO NOT IMPOSE BLAME UPON US IF WE HAVE FORGOTTEN OR ERRED. OUR LORD, AND LAY NOT UPON US A BURDEN LIKE THAT WHICH YOU LAID UPON THOSE BEFORE US. OUR LORD, AND BURDEN US NOT WITH THAT WHICH WE HAVE NO ABILITY TO BEAR. AND PARDON US; AND FORGIVE US; AND HAVE MERCY UPON US. YOU ARE OUR PROTECTOR, SO GIVE US VICTORY OVER THE DISBELIEVING PEOPLE." |
