Overview

About this Surah

Al-Baqarah (the Cow) has been so named from the story of the Cow occurring in this Surah (67-73). It has not, however, been used as a title to indicate the subject of the Surah. It will, therefore, be as wrong to translate the name Al-Baqarah into "The Cow" or "The Heifer" as to translate any English name, say Mr. Baker, Mr. Rice, Mr. Wolf etc., into their equivalents in other languages or vice versa, because this would imply that the Surah dealt with the subject of "The Cow". Many more Surahs of the Quran have been named in the same way because no comprehensive words exist in Arabic (in spite of its richness) to denote the wide scope of the subject discussed in them. As a matter of fact all human languages suffer from the same limitation.

  1. Ayah 206

    وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ أَخَذَتْهُ الْعِزَّةُ بِالْإِثْمِ ۚ فَحَسْبُهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ وَلَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ

    Und wenn man zu ihm sagt: "Fürchte Allah", reißt ihn der Stolz zur Sünde hin. Die Hölle soll seine Genüge sein - wahrlich eine schlimme Lagerstatt!

  2. Ayah 207

    وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْرِي نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ رَءُوفٌ بِالْعِبَادِ

    Unter den Menschen gibt es (auch) manchen, der sich selbst im Trachten nach Allahs Zufriedenheit verkauft. Und Allah ist zu den Menschen Gnädig.

  3. Ayah 208

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ادْخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

    O die ihr glaubt, tretet allesamt in den Islam ein und folgt nicht den Fußstapfen des Satans! Er ist euch ja ein deutlicher Feind.

  4. Ayah 209

    فَإِن زَلَلْتُم مِّن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْكُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

    Wenn ihr aber strauchelt, nachdem die klaren Beweise zu euch gekommen sind, so wißt, daß Allah Allmächtig und Allweise ist.

  5. Ayah 210

    هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَأْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظُلَلٍ مِّنَ الْغَمَامِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ ۚ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ

    Erwarten sie (etwas anderes), als daß Allah in Schattendächern aus Wolken zu ihnen kommt und die Engel? Doch dann wird die Angelegenheit entschieden sein. Und zu Allah werden (all) die Angelegenheiten zurückgebracht.

  6. Ayah 211

    سَلْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَمْ آتَيْنَاهُم مِّنْ آيَةٍ بَيِّنَةٍ ۗ وَمَن يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ

    Frage die Kinder Isra'ils, wie viele klare Beweise Wir ihnen gegeben haben. Wenn aber einer die Gunst Allahs abändert, nachdem sie ihm zuteil geworden ist -, dann ist Allah streng im Bestrafen.

  7. Ayah 212

    زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۘ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

    Ausgeschmückt ist denen, die ungläubig sind, das diesseitige Leben, und sie spotten über diejenigen, die glauben. Aber diejenigen, die gottesfürchtig sind, werden am Tag der Auferstehung über ihnen stehen. Und Allah versorgt, wen Er will, ohne zu berechnen.

About the Quran

Muslim beliefs and practices are based on the Quran and the Sunnah, the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم).

Meccan Surahs

The Meccan Surahs are the earliest revelations sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were revealed in Mecca, hence their name. These revelations form the foundation of the Islamic faith and contain guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives. The Meccan Surahs are also notable for their poetic beauty and lyrical prose.

Medinan Surahs

The Medinan Surahs are the later Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed in Medina after the Prophet Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hijra from Mecca. They were revealed by Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca.
