2 The Cow -Al Baqarah Third quarter
[2.44] Would you order righteousness on others and forget it yourselves? Yet you recite the Book, have you no sense?
[2.45] And seek help in patience and prayer. For it is heavy, except to the humble,
[2.46] who reckon that they will meet their Lord and that to Him they will return.
[2.47] Children of Israel, remember the favors I have bestowed on you, and that I have preferred you (the prophets among you) above the worlds.
[2.48] Guard yourselves against the Day when no soul can avail a thing to another, when neither intercession nor ransom shall be accepted from it, nor will they be helped.
[2.49] (Remember) how We saved you from Pharaoh's people who had oppressed you cruelly, slaying your sons and sparing your women. Surely, that was a great trial from your Lord.
[2.50] We parted the sea for you, and, taking you to safety, drowned the family of Pharaoh before your eyes.
[2.51] We appointed for Moses forty nights, but in his absence you took the calf, thereby committing harm.
[2.52] Yet after that We pardoned you, so that you might give thanks.
[2.53] And when We gave Moses the Book and the Criterion, so that you might be guided;
[2.54] and when Moses said to his nation: 'My nation, you have harmed yourselves by taking the calf (to worship). So turn in repentance to your Creator and slay yourselves. That will be best for you with your Creator. ' And He shall accept you. He is the Receiver of Repentance, the Merciful.
[2.55] And when you said to Moses: 'We will not believe in you until we see Allah openly, ' a thunderbolt struck you whilst you were looking.
[2.56] Then We raised you from your death, so that you might give thanks.
[2.57] We caused the clouds to cast their shadow over you and sent down for you manna and quails, (saying 'Eat of the good things We have provided you. ' Indeed, they did not harm Us, but they harmed themselves.
[2.58] 'Enter this village, ' We said, 'and eat wherever you will and as much as you wish. Make your way prostrating through the gates, saying: "Unburdening." We shall forgive you your sins and We will increase the gooddoers. '
[2.59] But the harmdoers tampered with Our Words, different from that said to them, and We let loose on the harmdoers a scourge from heaven as a punishment for their debauchery.
