بِٱلْهُدَىٰ
فَمَا
رَبِحَت
تِّجَـٰرَتُهُمْ
وَمَا
كَانُوا۟
مُهْتَدِينَ

مَثَلُهُمْ
كَمَثَلِ
ٱلَّذِى
ٱسْتَوْقَدَ

فَلَمَّآ
أَضَآءَتْ
مَا
حَوْلَهُۥ
ذَهَبَ
ٱللَّهُ
بِنُورِهِمْ
وَتَرَكَهُمْ
فِى
ظُلُمَـٰتٍۢ
لَّا
يُبْصِرُونَ
They are like people who [labour to] kindle a fire: when it lights up everything around them, God takes away all their light, leaving them in utter darkness, unable to see-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:18
صُمٌّۢ
بُكْمٌ
عُمْىٌۭ
فَهُمْ
لَا
يَرْجِعُونَ
deaf, dumb, and blind: they will never return.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:19
أَوْ
كَصَيِّبٍۢ
مِّنَ
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
فِيهِ
ظُلُمَـٰتٌۭ
وَرَعْدٌۭ
وَبَرْقٌۭ
يَجْعَلُونَ
أَصَـٰبِعَهُمْ
فِىٓ
ءَاذَانِهِم
مِّنَ
ٱلصَّوَٰعِقِ
حَذَرَ
ٱلْمَوْتِ ۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
مُحِيطٌۢ
بِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Or [like people who, under] a cloudburst from the sky, with its darkness, thunder, and lightning, put their fingers into their ears to keep out the thunderclaps for fear of death- God surrounds the disbelievers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:20
يَكَادُ
ٱلْبَرْقُ
يَخْطَفُ
أَبْصَـٰرَهُمْ ۖ
كُلَّمَآ
أَضَآءَ
لَهُم
مَّشَوْا۟
فِيهِ
وَإِذَآ
أَظْلَمَ
عَلَيْهِمْ
قَامُوا۟ ۚ
وَلَوْ
شَآءَ
ٱللَّهُ
لَذَهَبَ
بِسَمْعِهِمْ
وَأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ ۚ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
عَلَىٰ
كُلِّ
شَىْءٍۢ
قَدِيرٌۭ
The lightning almost snatches away their sight: whenever it flashes on them they walk on and when darkness falls around them they stand still. If God so willed, He could take away their hearing and sight: God has power over everything.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:21
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلنَّاسُ
ٱعْبُدُوا۟
رَبَّكُمُ
ٱلَّذِى
خَلَقَكُمْ
وَٱلَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِكُمْ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تَتَّقُونَ
People, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, so that you may be mindful [of Him]

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

2:22
ٱلَّذِى
جَعَلَ
لَكُمُ
ٱلْأَرْضَ
فِرَٰشًۭا
وَٱلسَّمَآءَ
بِنَآءًۭ
وَأَنزَلَ
مِنَ
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
مَآءًۭ
فَأَخْرَجَ
بِهِۦ
مِنَ
ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ
رِزْقًۭا
لَّكُمْ ۖ
فَلَا
تَجْعَلُوا۟
لِلَّهِ
أَندَادًۭا
وَأَنتُمْ
تَعْلَمُونَ
who spread out the earth for you and built the sky; who sent water down from it and with that water produced things for your sustenance. Do not, knowing this, set up rivals to God.
