[2:154]

And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah "dead." Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not.

[2:155]

And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the steadfast,

[2:156]

Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah’s and lo! unto Him we are returning.

[2:157]

Such are they on whom are blessings from their Lord, and mercy. Such are the rightly guided.

[2:158]

Lo! (the mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwah are among the indications of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who is on pilgrimage to the House (of God) or visiteth it, to go around them (as the pagan custom is). And he who doeth good of his own accord, (for him) lo! Allah is Responsive, Aware.

[2:159]

Lo! Those who hide the proofs and the guidance which We revealed, after We had made it clear to mankind in the Scripture: such are accursed of Allah and accursed of those who have the power to curse.

[2:160]

Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (the truth). These it is toward whom I relent. I am the Relenting, the Merciful.

[2:161]

Lo! Those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers; on them is the curse of Allah and of angels and of men combined.

[2:162]

They ever dwell therein. The doom will not be lightened for them, neither will they be reprieved.

[2:163]

Your God is One God; there is no God save Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
