Quran Page 14: Truth, Recognition, and Jealousy (Surah Al-Baqarah 89-93)
📖 About Surah Al-Baqarah (Page 14)
In Page 14, we learn about the psychological barriers to faith. The verses describe how those who were waiting for a Prophet recognized Muhammad (PBUH) just as they recognized their own sons, yet they rejected him due to envy (Baghyan). The page also revisits the scene at Mount Tur, reminding us that true faith requires listening and obeying, rather than saying "We hear and we disobey."
🕌 Arabic Text (Uthmani Script)
بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْا بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ بَغْيًا... (٩٠)
فَبَاءُوا بِغَضَبٍ عَلَىٰ غَضَبٍ ۚ وَلِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ (٩٠)
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُوا بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالُوا نُؤْمِنُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا... (٩١)
وَلَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ مُوسَىٰ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْتُمُ الْعِجْلَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ... (٩٢)
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُوا مَا آتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسْمَعُوا ۖ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا... (٩٣)
🌍 English Translation (Sahih International)
89. And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them... they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah is upon the disbelievers.
90. Wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allah has revealed through [grudging] envy...
93. And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [with their actions], "We hear and disobey."
