2. Surat al-Baqarah
٢۔ سُورَةُ البَقَرَة
Mercy Even After Breaking of the Covenant
And ˹recall˺ when We took your covenant, ˹O Children of Israel, to abide by the Torah˺ and We raised over you the mount, ˹saying˺, "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that perhaps you may become righteous."
Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers.
Punishment for Breaking the Sabbath
And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
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.
