[2:25]
And give glad tidings (O Muhammad) unto those
who believe and do good works; that theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers
flow; as often as they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof, they say:
this is what was given us aforetime; and it is given to them in resemblance.
There for them are pure companions; there for ever they abide.
[2:26]
Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude
even of a gnat. Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord;
but those who disbelieve say: What doth Allah wish (to teach) by such a similitude ? He misleadeth many thereby, and He guideth many
thereby; and He misleadeth thereby only miscreants;
[2:27]
Those who break the covenant of Allah after
ratifying it, and sever that which Allah ordered to be joined, and (who) make
mischief in the earth: Those are they who are the losers.
[2:28]
How disbelieve ye in
Allah when ye were dead and He gave life to you! Then He will give you death,
then life again, and then unto Him ye will return.
[2:29]
He it is Who created
for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He to
the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is knower of all things.
