Surah Al-Baqarah 2 O Descendants of Israel (Jacob)! Remember My favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant towards Me, I shall fulfil My covenant towards you; and fear Me alone. (40) And accept faith in what I have sent down (the Qur’an), which confirms what is with you (the Torah / Bible), and do not be the first to disbelieve in it – and do not exchange My verses for an abject – and fear Me alone. (41) And do not mix the truth with falsehood, nor purposely conceal the truth. (42) And keep the (obligatory) prayer established, and pay the charity, and bow your heads with those who bow (in prayer). (43) What!

Surah Al-Qasas 8 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Ta-Seen-Meem. (Alphabets of the Arabic language – Allah and to whomever he reveals, know their precise meanings.) (1) These are verses of the clear Book. (2) We shall narrate to you the true tidings of Moosa and Firaun, for the people who have faith. (3) Indeed Firaun had achieved dominance in the earth and made its people subservient to him – seeing a group among them weak, he used to kill their sons and spare their women; he was indeed very mischievous.
