B ASICS OF R ELIGIOUS E DUCATION - F IFTH E DITION 65 65 65 65 65 2. 5 Al-Baqarah 2:285-287 258. Allah is the Friend of those who believe; He brings them out of all kinds of darkness into light. And those who disbelieve, their friends are the transgressors who brings them out of light into manifold darknesses. These are the inmates of the Fire, therein shall they abide. 285. To Allah belongs whatever is in the heav- ens and whatever is in the earth; and whether you disclose what is in your minds or keep it hidden, Allah will call you to account for it, then will He forgive whomsoever He pleases, and punish whomsoever He pleases; and Allah has the power to do all that He wills. 286. This Messenger of Ours believes in that which has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers; all of them believe in Allah, and in His angels, and in His Books, and in His Messengers, saying , ‘We make no dis- tinction between any of His Messengers;’ and they say ‘We have heard and we are obedient. Our Lord, we implore Thy forgive-ness, and to Thee is the returning. ’ 287. Allah burdens not any soul beyond its ca- pacity. It shall have the reward it earns, and it shall get the punishment it incurs. Our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or fall into error, and our Lord, lay not on us a responsibility as Thou didst lay upon those before us. Our Lord, burden us not with what we have not the strength to bear; and efface our sins and grant us for- giveness and have mercy on us; Thou art our Master; so help us against the disbelieving people. 2. 6 2. 6 2. 6 2. 6 2. 6 A A A A A LLAH LLAH LLAH LLAH LLAH AND AND AND AND AND THE THE THE THE THE H H H H H OL OL OL OL OLY Y Y Y Y Q Q Q Q Q UR UR UR UR UR ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ AN AN AN AN AN — — — — — S S S S S ELECTED ELECTED ELECTED ELECTED ELECTED S S S S S URAHS URAHS URAHS URAHS URAHS
