2:62
Humiliation and abasement were stamped upon them and they
incurred the wrath of Allah; because they disbelieved His signs and
slew His prophets unjustly; because they were rebels and
transgressors.
Believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabaeans-whoever believes inAllah
and the Last Day and does what is right-shall be rewarded by their
Lord; they have nothing to fear or to regret.
And whenWe made a covenant with you and raised the Mount above
you, saying: 'Receive what we have given you with earnestness and
bear in mind its precepts, that you may guard yourselves against evil,'
yet after that you turned away, and but forAllah's grace and mercy you
would have surely been among the lost.
You have surely heard of those of you that violated the Sabbath. We
said to them: 'You shall be changed into detested apes.' We made them
an example to their own generation and to those who followed them,
and a lesson to the righteous.
When Musa said to his people: 'Allah commands you to sacrifice a
cow,' they replied: 'Are youmaking game of us? '
'Allah forbid that I should be somocking! ' he said.
'Call on your Lord,' they said, 'to make known to us what kind of cow
she shall be.'
Musa replied: 'Your Lord says: “Let her be neither an old cow nor a
young heifer, but in between.” Do, therefore, as you are bidden.'
'Call on your Lord,' they said, 'to make known to us what her colour
shall be.'
