2:122
يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتِىَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّى فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٢٢
O Children of Israel! Remember My favour wherewith I favoured you and how I preferred you to (all) creatures.
O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and that I preferred you over the worlds.
O children of Israel, remember that special favour I bestowed upon you, and that I exalted you above all the communities of the world.
قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ نَظِيرُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فِي صَدْرِ السُّورَةِ، وَكُرِّرَتْ هَاهُنَا لِلتَّأْكِيدِ وَالْحَثِّ على اتباع الرسول النبي الْأُمِّيِّ الذِي يَجِدُونَ صِفَتَهُ فِي كُتُبِهِمْ ونعتَه وَاسْمَهُ وَأَمْرَهُ وَأُمَّتَهُ. يُحَذِّرُهُمْ [[في جـ، ط، أ، و: "فحذرهم".]] مِنْ كِتْمَانِ هَذَا، وَكِتْمَانِ مَا أَنْعَمَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، مِنَ النِّعَمِ الدُّنْيَوِيَّةِ وَالدِّينِيَّةِ، وَلَا يَحْسُدُوا بَنِي عَمِّهم مِنَ الْعَرَبِ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ إِرْسَالِ الرَّسُولِ الْخَاتَمِ مِنْهُمْ. وَلَا يَحْمِلُهُمْ ذَلِكَ الحسدُ عَلَى مُخَالَفَتِهِ وَتَكْذِيبِهِ، وَالْحَيْدَةِ عَنْ مُوَافَقَتِهِ، صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيْهِ دَائِمًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ.
About this surah
Madani · order 87
Summary
Al-Baqarah (the Cow) has been so named from the story of the Cow occurring in this Surah (67-73). It has not, however, been used as a title to indicate the subject of the Surah. It will, therefore, be as wrong to translate the name Al-Baqarah into "The Cow" or "The Heifer" as to translate any English name, say Mr. Baker, Mr. Rice, Mr. Wolf etc., into their equivalents in other languages or vice versa, because this would imply that the Surah dealt with the subject of "The Cow". Many more Surahs of the Quran have been named in the same way because no comprehensive words exist in Arabic (in spite of its richness) to denote the wide scope of the subject discussed in them. As a matter of fact all human languages suffer from the same limitation.
