their Lord; but those who disbelieve say: What doth Allah
wish (to teach) by such a similitude? He misleadeth many
thereby, and He guideth many thereby; and He misleadeth
thereby only miscreants;
2:27 Those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying
it, and sever that which Allah ordered to be joined, and
(who) make mischief in the earth: Those are they who are
the losers.
2:28 How DISBELIEVE ye in Allah when ye were dead and
He gave life to you! Then He will give you death, then life
again, and then unto Him ye will return.
2:29 He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth.
Then turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven
heavens. And He is knower of all things.
2:30 And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am
about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: Wilt thou
place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed
blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee?
He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.
2:31 And He taught Adam all the names, then showed them
to the angels, saying: Inform Me of the names of these, if ye
are truthful.
2:32 They said: Be glorified! We have no knowledge saving
that which Thou hast taught us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the
Knower, the Wise.
2:33 He said: O Adam! Inform them of their names, and
when he had informed them of their names, He said: Did I
not tell you that I know the secret of the heavens and the
earth? And I know that which ye disclose and which ye
hide.
