2. Sūrat al-Baqarah
٢۔ سُورَةُ البَقَرَة
And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ الَّذِينَ اعْتَدَوْا مِنْكُمْ فِي السَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا قِرَدَةً خَاسِئِينَ
And We made it a deterrent punishment for those who were present and those who succeeded ˹them˺ and a lesson for those who fear Allah.
فَجَعَلْنَاهَا نَكَالًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَمَا خَلْفَهَا وَمَوْعِظَةً لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
