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 283

    وَإِن كُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ وَلَمْ تَجِدُوا كَاتِبًا فَرِهَانٌ مَّقْبُوضَةٌ ۖ فَإِنْ أَمِنَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا فَلْيُؤَدِّ الَّذِي اؤْتُمِنَ أَمَانَتَهُ وَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ رَبَّهُ ۗ وَلَا تَكْتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ ۚ وَمَن يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ آثِمٌ قَلْبُهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ

    Und wenn ihr auf einer Reise seid und keinen Schreiber findet, dann sollen Pfänder in Empfang genommen werden. Und wenn dann einer von euch dem anderen (etwas) anvertraut, so soll derjenige, dem (es) anvertraut wurde, das ihm anvertraute Pfand (wieder) aushändigen, und er soll Allah, seinen Herrn, fürchten. Und verheimlicht kein Zeugnis. Wer es aber verheimlicht, dessen Herz ist gewiß sündhaft. Und Allah weiß über das, was ihr tut, Bescheid.

  2. Ayah 284

    لِّلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِن تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللَّهُ ۖ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

    Allah gehört (alles), was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde ist. Und ob ihr offenlegt, was in euch selbst ist, oder es verbergt, Allah wird euch dafür zur Rechenschaft ziehen. Dann vergibt Er, wem Er will, und straft, wen Er will. Und Allah hat zu allem die Macht.

  3. Ayah 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

    Der Gesandte (Allahs) glaubt an das, was zu ihm von seinem Herrn (als Offenbarung) herabgesandt worden ist, und ebenso die Gläubigen; alle glauben an Allah, Seine Engel, Seine Bücher und Seine Gesandten - Wir machen keinen Unterschied bei jemandem von Seinen Gesandten. Und sie sagen: "Wir hören und gehorchen. (Gewähre uns) Deine Vergebung, unser Herr! Und zu Dir ist der Ausgang."

  4. Ayah 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

    Allah erlegt keiner Seele mehr auf, als sie zu leisten vermag. Ihr kommt (nur) zu, was sie verdient hat, und angelastet wird ihr (nur), was sie verdient hat. "Unser Herr, belange uns nicht, wenn wir (etwas) vergessen oder einen Fehler begehen. Unser Herr, lege uns keine Bürde auf, wie Du sie denjenigen vor uns auferlegt hast. Unser Herr, bürde uns nichts auf, wozu wir keine Kraft haben. Verzeihe uns, vergib uns und erbarme Dich unser! Du bist unser Schutzherr. So verhilf uns zum Sieg über das ungläubige Volk!

About the Quran

The Quran

The Quran is the holy scripture of Islam. Muslims believe that it is the literal word of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) over a period of 23 years. 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.
