The Cow · Juz 3 · Page 42
۞ تِلۡكَ ٱلرُّسُلُ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۘ مِّنۡهُم مَّن كَلَّمَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَرَفَعَ بَعۡضَهُمۡ دَرَجَٰتٖۚ وَءَاتَيۡنَا عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَأَيَّدۡنَٰهُ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِۗ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا ٱقۡتَتَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ وَلَٰكِنِ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ ءَامَنَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّن كَفَرَۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا ٱقۡتَتَلُواْ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ ٢٥٣
Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allāh spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]. If Allāh had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allāh does what He intends.

Commentary on 2:253
ئەو پێغەمبەرانەی کە باسمانکردن فەزڵی ھەندێکیانمان داوە بەسەر ھەندێکی تریاندا لەڕووی نیگا بۆ کردن وشوێنکەوتن و پلە وپایەیانەوە، ھەندێکیان خوای گەورە قسەی لەگەڵ کردوون، وەک موسی (سەلامی خوای لێ بێت)، وە ھەندێکیانی تری پلە وپایەی بەرزکردونەتەوە وەک موحەمەد (صلی اللە علیە وسلم)، چونکە بۆ تەواوی خەڵکی نێردراوە، وە کۆتایی بە پێغەمبەرایەتی ھێناوە، وە فەزڵی ئومەتەکەی دراوە بەسەر تەواوی ئومەتانی تردا، وە بە عیسای کوڕی مەریەمیش چەندین موعجیزە وبەڵگە ونیشانەی ڕوونمان داوەتێ کە بەڵگە بوو لەسەر پیغەمبەرایەتیەکەی، وەک زیندوو کردنەوەی مردوو، وە چاک کردنەوەی کوێری زکماک ونەخۆشی بەڵەکەی، وە بە جوبرەئیلیش پشتگیریمان لێکرد تاوەکو بتوانێت بە ئەرک وفەرمانەکانی خوای گەورە وبەزر وبڵند ھەستێت، خۆ ئەگەر خوای گەورە بیویستایە ئەوانەی لە دوای ئەم پێغەمبەرانەوە ھاتن کە بەڵگە ونیشانە گەلێکی ڕوون وئاشکرایان ھێنا باوەڕدار دەبوون ویەکتریان نەدەکوشت وشەڕی یەکتریان نەدەکرد، بەڵام لەناو یەکتردا تێکچون وجیاوازیان تێکەوت، ھەندێکیان باوەڕیان ھێنا بەخوای گەورە، وە ھەندێکی تریان بێباوەڕ بوون پێی، خۆ ئەگەر خوای گەورە بیویستایە کە شەڕی یەکتر نەکەن ویەکتر نەکوژن ئەوا شەڕیان لەگەڵ یەکتر نەدەکرد ویەکتریان نەدەکوشت، بەڵام ئەوەی کە خوای گەورە خۆی بیەوێت ئەنجامی دەدات، ھەرکەسێکی بوێت بە ڕەحم ومیھرەبانی وفەزڵی خۆی ڕێنومایی دەکات بۆ باوەڕ وئیمان، وە ھەر کەسێکیشی بوێت بە دادپەروەری ودانای خۆی گومڕاو سەر لێشێواوی دەکات.

2:254
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَنفِقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَ يَوۡمٞ لَّا بَيۡعٞ فِيهِ وَلَا خُلَّةٞ وَلَا شَفَٰعَةٞۗ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٢٥٤
O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange [i.e., ransom] and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers.
2:255
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٞ وَلَا نَوۡمٞۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيۡءٖ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفۡظُهُمَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٢٥٥
Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living,1 the Self-Sustaining.2 Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,3 and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī4 extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High,5 the Most Great.6

Whose life is perfect, complete and eternal, without beginning or end, and through whom all created life originated and continues.
[99] Dependent on none for His existence while being the sustainer and administrator of all created existence.
[100] Allāh's knowledge encompasses every aspect of His creations in the past, present and future.
[101] Chair or footstool. It is not to be confused with al-ʿArsh (the Throne) , which is infinitely higher and greater than al-Kursī.
[102] Above all of His creations and superior to them in essence, rank and position.
[103] Whose greatness is unlimited, beyond description or imagination.

2:256
لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِي ٱلدِّينِۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشۡدُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَيِّۚ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَيُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٥٦
There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become distinct from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in ṭāghūt1 and believes in Allāh has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
