Pray for the Truth

Quran 2:284Al-Baqara, verse 284

M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation

Whatever is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to God and, whether you reveal or conceal your thoughts, God will call you to account for them. He will forgive whoever He will and punish whoever He will: He has power over all things.

لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ ۖ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

lillahi mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi wa-in tub'dū mā fī anfusikum aw tukh'fūhu yuḥāsib'kum bihi l-lahu fayaghfiru liman yashāu wayuʿadhibu man yashāu wal-lahu ʿalā kulli shayin qadīrun
