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.

Verses around 2:278

  1. Ayah 275

    الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا ۗ وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا ۚ فَمَن جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ فَانتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

    Diejenigen, die Zins verschlingen, werden nicht anders aufstehen als jemand, den der Satan durch Wahnsinn hin und her schlägt. Dies (wird sein), weil sie sagten: "Verkaufen ist das gleiche wie Zinsnehmen." Doch hat Allah Verkaufen erlaubt und Zinsnehmen verboten. Zu wem nun eine Ermahnung von seinem Herrn kommt, und der dann aufhört, dem soll gehören, was vergangen ist, und seine Angelegenheit steht bei Allah. Wer aber rückfällig wird, jene sind Insassen des (Höllen)feuers. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.

  2. Ayah 276

    يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ

    Dahinschwinden lassen wird Allah den Zins und vermehren die Almosen. Allah liebt niemanden, der ein beharrlicher Ungläubiger und Sünder ist.

  3. Ayah 277

    إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

    Gewiß, diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, das Gebet verrichten und die Abgabe entrichten, die haben ihren Lohn bei ihrem Herrn, und keine Furcht soll sie überkommen, noch werden sie traurig sein.

  4. Ayah 278

    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَذَرُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الرِّبَا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

    O die ihr glaubt, fürchtet Allah und laßt das sein, was an Zins(geschäften) noch übrig ist, wenn ihr gläubig seid.

  5. Ayah 279

    فَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۖ وَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَالِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ

    Wenn ihr es aber nicht tut, dann laßt euch Krieg von Allah und Seinem Gesandten ansagen! Doch wenn ihr bereut, dann steht euch euer (ausgeliehenes) Grundvermögen zu; (so) tut weder ihr Unrecht, noch wird euch Unrecht zugefügt.

  6. Ayah 280

    وَإِن كَانَ ذُو عُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلَىٰ مَيْسَرَةٍ ۚ وَأَن تَصَدَّقُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

    Und wenn er (der Schuldner) in Schwierigkeiten ist, dann sei (ihm) Aufschub (gewährt,) bis eine Erleichterung (eintritt). Und daß ihr (es) als Almosen erlaßt, ist besser für euch, wenn ihr (es) nur wißt.

  7. Ayah 281

    وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

    Und hütet euch vor einem Tag, an dem ihr zu Allah zurückgebracht werdet. Dann wird jeder Seele in vollem Maß zukommen, was sie verdient hat, und es wird ihnen kein Unrecht zugefügt.

The Quran is composed of 114 Surahs (chapters) and contains 6,236 Ayat (verses). 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.
