Interpretation of verse 208 ;212 of Surat Al-Baqarah

Interpretation of verse 208  of Surat Al-Baqarah

Then God addresses the believers as a lover addresses his beloved, because the believer loves to obey God, because God loves the believer and commands him to peace so that he may attain his paradise, as if He is saying to them

: O you who believe in Me, enter into peace,

 So peace is living in peace, or Islam which is the seal of religions that includes all religions, so if it is peace or Islam then it leads to one meaning; because peace is the opposite of war, and Islam came to end war in the universe and to live in permanent peace and what happens in the universe is due to the lack of submission and surrender to God’s command and working according to what is in Islam as God Almighty commanded and the intended meaning is that they all gathered on one thing which is peace, 

or Islam, so the meaning of peace is that God is the God who created the universe, and you must live in peace; because you only believe in Him, the one God.  Because He is the Lord of the universe who called us to submit to Him, and He is the One who established the laws and made Islam the final religion that includes all religions, 

So we must leave what came before it and believe and acknowledge, but we must be on the religion of Islam and do what God has commanded and avoid what God has forbidden. All of this is in Islam, the Islam of peace and submission to the command of God and the worship of the One God. God 

Almighty has commanded us not to follow the footsteps of Satan and told us that we have a clear enemy, and nothing is clearer than what God has shown us of Satan’s enmity towards man, 

Because his enmity towards man is a previous enmity, and he took this position with Adam, and after that he swore by the glory of God to mislead you all, and if the Truth, glory be to Him, has told us the story, it is as if He has given us immunity, meaning that Satan did not surprise us, but rather the Truth placed before us the story of Satan with Adam clearly and plainly to give us immunity and to be aware.

Interpretation of verse 209 of Surat Al-Baqarah

And Allah the Almighty makes clear that there is no excuse for those who disobey Allah and transgress against the obedience of Allah, because transgressing against the obedience of Allah the Almighty

 And slipping are the sins and transgressions that are contrary to the straight path, because Allah the Almighty has shown us everything from the cosmic knowledge and the laws that we follow and what is permissible and what is forbidden and everything and after the clear proofs have come to you from Allah the Almighty, you have no excuse for slipping at all; for I have shown you everything, but if you are overcome by heedlessness 

And believe that you will take more than what Allah has written for you, then what you have collected is by Allah’s permission, and what remains for you is only the slip of disobedience from which you have attained the pleasures of this world by Allah’s command and the slip of the Hereafter with your torment in Hell,

 And Allah the Almighty will hold you accountable and know that your return is to Allah and He is the Almighty, the Victorious, He manages your affairs with mercy and wisdom..

 

Interpretation of verse 210 of Surat Al-Baqarah

Then Allah, the Almighty, asks those who are hypocrites and disbelievers in Allah, and hypocrisy is the most severe disbelief, 

They do this while they see all the cosmic signs and they wrong themselves and all the signs of Allah that they deny for the sake of a fleeting world and a gain that leads them to Hell,

 So what do you expect after all this good that He provides for His servants, especially those who believe in Allah and that He provides them with mercy and love, for the disbeliever wrongs himself before he wrongs those around him by his denial. 

On the blessings of God and the most unjust and slanderous hypocrite, and he claims to have faith while he harms the believers with his actions that do not please God Almighty.

 Are you waiting for this day to come to you? You must seize the opportunity to return to your Lord before the opportunity to return slips away from you.

Interpretation of verse 211 of Surat Al-Baqarah

The verse begins with a confessional question, meaning that the questioner knows the answer and is waiting for the questioner to confess it,

 And this is an example of understanding the meaning  of a rhetorical question Like someone who did you a favor and he denied your favor and complained to someone, so you answer him and say to the one who came to you with the complaint: 

Ask him how many times I supported him, I will not speak but I will let him speak, this question is because the questioner is confident that he supported him in many situations,

 And the question of the verse is that Allah the Almighty tells His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him pea …

to ask the Children of Israel about the blessings that Allah the Almighty bestowed upon them, 

And among the blessings is that Allah the Almighty split the sea for them and made Moses’ staff into a serpent, and Allah shaded them with clouds and gave them manna 

And quails, Allah gave them all of that, so it is their duty to receive it with gratitude, and the meaning of gratitude is that they attribute it to its giver and benefit from it by using the blessing in a good way, 

But they denied it and did not thank Allah for it and that they are not ashamed to disobey the one who bestowed it upon them

, So whoever changes the blessing has disbelieved in the blessings of Allah the Almighty and thus has gone astray from the path of Allah, because he misused the blessing and used it in the wrong place or denied it or wasted it, so how can the blessing change for us to pay attention to this?  

For example, God forbade alcohol, so a person comes and drinks alcohol, and his body is harmed and he becomes sick, and the healthy body turns into a sick body.

 This is a change in the blessing. Nations have advanced in technology, and some of them use it well in what benefits them and benefits people with knowledge and science, and some of them misuse it in what God has forbidden. 

This is a change in the blessing. God Almighty has shown us cosmic signs that make a person remember God and thank Him for His blessings, and instead of thanking God for the blessing, he denies it as if it is an acquired right and forgets that God who gave him the blessing can take it away from him in seconds. 

O you who changed the blessing and forbade it, know that God will bring down His wrath upon you and you will be severely punished in this world and the hereafter.

  And they deserve severe punishment from Allah, because the transient world has been made attractive to them because they believe that there is no life after this life, so they chose this world and left the higher life.

Interpretation of verse 212 of Surat Al-Baqarah

 It is foolish for the disbeliever to mock the believers because they are the ones who look upward, because the believer is committed,

 And he is the one who fears Allah and is wary of Allah’s wrath and punishment, and this requires him to be committed and to deprive himself of the pleasures of this world that Allah has forbidden, even if they benefit him in this world. 

The believer is wise and knows that this benefit is a fleeting benefit in a transient world. 

He awaits the bliss of the Hereafter and enjoys what Allah has permitted for him even if it is little. 

These believers who fear Allah in their actions are above the disbelievers, because the believer does not look to the transient world, but rather all he wants is to attain Allah’s pleasure and .Paradise in the Hereafter.
