Examples from Qur'aan al-Kareem

Translation by Yusuf Ali

2:145 wa la in ataytalladhiina uutul kitaaba bi kulli aayatim maa tabi'UU qiblatak* wa maa anta bi taabi'In qiblatahum* wa maa ba'ÅDuhum bi taabi'In qiblata ba'ÅD* wa lainittaba'Åta ahwaa-ahum mim ba'Ådi maa jaa-aka minal 'Ilmi innaka idhal la minaZ Zaalimiin

Meaning: Even if thou wert to bring (come) to the people of the Book all the Signs (together), they would not follow Thy Qibla; nor art thou going to follow their Qibla; nor indeed will they follow each other's Qibla. If thou after the knowledge hath reached thee, Wert to follow their (vain) desires,-then wert thou Indeed (clearly) in the wrong.

2:214 am Hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lammaa ya'tikum mathalulladhiina khalaw min qablikum* massat-humul ba'saau waD Darraau wa zulziluu Hattaa yaquular rasuulu walladhiina aamanuu ma'Ahuu mataa naSrullaah* alaa inna naSrallaahi qariib

Meaning: Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? they encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the Apostle and those of faith who were with him cried: "When (will come) the help of God?" Ah! Verily, the help of God is (always) near!
