Quran2:8

From Free media library

< Chapter 2:8-20 >

002:008 They seek to deceive God and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves without noticing.
002:009 In their hearts is a disease, so God increases their disease, and they will have a painful retribution for what they have denied.
002:010 And if they are told: “Do not make evil in the land,” they Say: “But we are the reformers!”
002:011 No, they are the evildoers, but they do not perceive.
002:012 And if they are told: “Believe, as the people have believed,” they Say: “Shall we believe as the fools have believed?” No, they are the fools but they do not know.
002:013 And if they come across those who have believed, they Say: “We believe,” and when they are alone with their devils they Say: “We are with you, we were only mocking.”
002:014 God mocks them, and leaves them prolonged in their transgression.
002:015 These are the ones who have purchased straying for guidance; their trade did not profit them, nor were they guided.
002:016 Their example is like one who lights a fire, so when it illuminates what is around him, God takes away his light and leaves him in the darkness not seeing. 002:017 Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not revert.
002:018 Or like a cloud from the sky, in it is darkness and thunder
