Al-Baqarah 2:54

Al-Baqarah - The Cow

البقرة

وَإِذ قالَ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ يا قَومِ إِنَّكُم ظَلَمتُم أَنفُسَكُم بِاتِّخاذِكُمُ العِجلَ فَتوبوا إِلىٰ بارِئِكُم فَاقتُلوا أَنفُسَكُم ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم عِندَ بارِئِكُم فَتابَ عَلَيكُم ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوّابُ الرَّحيمُ

Moses said to his people, “O my people, you’ve wronged yourselves by adopting the calf. So repent to your Maker and kill yourselves; this is better for you before your Maker.” Then, He accepted your repentance. He is the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful.

Verse 55

وَإِذ قُلتُم يا موسىٰ لَن نُؤمِنَ لَكَ حَتّىٰ نَرَى اللَّهَ جَهرَةً فَأَخَذَتكُمُ الصّاعِقَةُ وَأَنتُم تَنظُرونَ

When you said, “O Moses, we won’t believe you until we see God plainly,” a thunderbolt struck you while you watched.

Verse 56

ثُمَّ بَعَثناكُم مِن بَعدِ مَوتِكُم لَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ

After that, We revived you after your death, so that you may be grateful.

Verse 57

وَظَلَّلنا عَلَيكُمُ الغَمامَ وَأَنزَلنا عَلَيكُمُ المَنَّ وَالسَّلوىٰ ۖ كُلوا مِن طَيِّباتِ ما رَزَقناكُم ۖ وَما ظَلَمونا وَلـٰكِن كانوا أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ

We shaded you with the clouds, and We sent down manna and quails for you: “Eat from the good provisions We’ve given you.” They didn’t wrong Us, but they wronged themselves.

Verse 58

وَإِذ قُلنَا ادخُلوا هـٰذِهِ القَريَةَ فَكُلوا مِنها حَيثُ شِئتُم رَغَدًا وَادخُلُوا البابَ سُجَّدًا وَقولوا حِطَّةٌ نَغفِر لَكُم خَطاياكُم ۚ وَسَنَزيدُ المُحسِنينَ

When We commanded, “Enter this town, and eat freely from it wherever you wish, but enter the gate humbly, and say words of humility. We will forgive your sins and will increase the good-doers.”

Verse 59

فَبَدَّلَ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا قَولًا غَيرَ الَّذي قيلَ لَهُم فَأَنزَلنا عَلَى الَّذينَ ظَلَموا رِجزًا مِنَ السَّماءِ بِما كانوا يَفسُقونَ

However, the wrongdoers among them altered the words they were given, so We sent down a scourge from the sky upon the wrongdoers for their transgressions.
