Quran Page 15: The Love of Life and the Angels Jibril & Mika'il (Verses 94-101)

📖 About Surah Al-Baqarah (Page 15)

Page 15 challenges those who claim exclusive rights to Paradise to "wish for death" if they are truthful—a test of their certainty in the Afterlife. It describes an intense greed for life, with some wishing to live a thousand years. This page also defends Angel Jibril (A.S.), stating that whoever is an enemy to him is an enemy to Allah, as he only brings down revelation by Allah's leave.

🕌 Arabic Text (Uthmani Script)

قُلْ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكُمُ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَالِصَةً مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ (٩٤)
وَلَنْ يَتَمَنَّوْهُ أَبَدًا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ (٩٥)
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَاةٍ... (٩٦)
قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ... (٩٧)
مَنْ كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِلَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ (٩٨)
وَلَقَدْ أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ ۖ وَمَا يَكْفُرُ بِهَا إِلَّا الْفَاسِقُونَ (٩٩)
أَوَكُلَّمَا عَاهَدُوا عَهْدًا نَبَذَهُ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (١٠٠)
وَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ... (١٠١)

🌍 English Translation (Sahih International)

94. Say, "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."
97. Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah..."
98. Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers and Gabriel and Michael - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers.

💡 Vocabulary & Tajwid Insights

Arabic Word Meaning / Rule
Khaalishah (خَالِصَةً) Exclusively / Purely / For you alone.
Nabadhahu (نَبَذَهُ) Threw it away / Cast it aside.
Tajwid Rule Ghunnah: In verse 94, the word "Inn" (إِنْ) and "Kuntum" (كُنْتُمْ) both contain the Noon sound. In "Inn", it's clear (Izhar) because of the 'Kaf' in the next word (depending on recitation style), but in "Kuntum", it is Ikhfa (hidden) with a nasal sound.
