249. Then when Talut left the city with his army, he said: "Surely, Allah will test you [624] with a stream. Whoso drinks water from it is not of me [625], and whoso does not drink of it is mine [626], except he who takes a sip with his hand [627]. Yet, all drank of it except a few of them [628]. When he (Talut) and the believers with him [629] crossed the stream, they said: "We have no power [630] against Jalut (Goliath) and his armies." Those who were sure to meet [631] Allah said: "That often a small party has triumphed over a large party by Allah's Command [632]. And, verily, Allah is with the steadfast (patient) [633]."
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 249
251. Then they defeated them by Allah's Command [635], and Dawood killed Jalut. And Allah bestowed upon him (Dawood) kingship and wisdom [636], and taught him [637] what He desired. And had Allah not repelled some people by others [638], the earth [639] would have been ruined. But Allah is the Bestower of bounty to all the worlds.

252. These are the verses of Allah which (O Beloved) We recite to you accurately [640], and surely you are among the Messengers.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 252
253. Of these Messengers, We have exalted some over others [641]. Among them are those to whom Allah spoke [642], and some He raised in degrees of honor [643]. We gave Isa, son of Mariam [644], clear signs and supported him with the pure spirit (Jibril) [645]. If Allah had willed, those who came after him would not have fought [646] with each other after receiving clear proofs. But they differed; some of them believed, while others became infidels. If Allah had willed, they would not have fought [647], but Allah does what He wills.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 253
254. O Believers! [648] Spend of what We have provided for you before there comes a day when there will be no bargaining [649], nor friendship, nor intercession [650]. And the infidels are indeed unjust [651].
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 254
255. Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence. Slumber [652] does not overtake Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? [653] He knows what is before them and what will be after them [654], and they do not encompass anything of His knowledge [655] except for what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth [656], and preserving them does not burden Him. And He is the Highest, the Most Great.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 255
256. There is no compulsion in religion [657]. Indeed, the right path has become distinct from the wrong [658]. Whoever disbelieves in the false god and believes in Allah [659] has certainly held onto a strong support that will never break [660]. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 256
257. Allah is the Protector of the believers; He brings them out from darkness into light [661]. And as for those who disbelieve, their protectors are the false gods [662]; they lead them from light [663] into darkness. They are the companions of the Fire [664] and they will remain therein forever.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 257
258. (O Beloved Prophet) Did you not see the one who argued [665] with Ibrahim about his Lord, merely because Allah had granted him kingship? When Ibrahim said: "My Lord is the One who gives life and causes death," he (Namrood) replied: "I give life and cause death" [666]. Ibrahim said: "Indeed, Allah brings the sun from the east [667]; so bring it from the west." Then the disbeliever was confounded [668]. And Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 258
259.Or like the one who passed by a town [669] (prophet Uzair) which had fallen into ruins. He said: "How will Allah bring this to life [670] after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years [671], then He revived him. He said: "How long have you stayed here?" He replied: "I've remained a full day or part of it." Allah said: "No, you stayed for a hundred years [672]. Look at your food and your drink; they have not changed with time. Yet, look at your donkey, whose bones are not safe [673]. And We will make you a sign for mankind. Look at the bones [674] how We raise them, and then cover them with flesh." When this matter became clear to him, he said: "I know very well [675] that Allah has power over all things [676]."
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 259
260.And when Ebrahim [677] said: "O my Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead." He (Allah) said: "Do you not believe so?" He said: "Yes, but I like that my heart may be satisfied" [678]. He said: "Take four birds and make them familiar [679] to you. Then put a part of each of them (their flesh) on every hilltop. Thereafter call them [680]. They will come to you in haste [681]. And know that Allah is All-Powerful, All-Wise [682]."
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 260
261. The example of those who spend [683] their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain of wheat, which grows into seven [684] offshoots, and each offshoot contains one hundred grains. And Allah multiplies (His rewards) to whomsoever He pleases [685]. And Allah is the All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 261
262.Those who spend [686] their wealth in the path of Allah, then after spending, neither boast of favours conferred, nor taunt [687]. Their reward is with their Lord. And they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve [688].
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 262
263. To speak kind words and to forgive [689] is better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Self-Sufficient and forbearing [690].
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 263
264. O you who believe! Do not render in vain your charities by boasting of your favors conferred followed by injury [691], like him who spent [692] his wealth for showing to people and believes not in Allah and the Last Day. Then the example of such a person is like that of a smooth rock upon which is dust [693]; and it is struck by a heavy rain, leaving it a bare stone [694]. They shall have no control [695] on anything of what they have earned, and Allah does not guide the people who disbelieve [696].
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 264
265. And the example of those who spend their wealth to seek the pleasure of Allah [697] and to strengthen their hearts is like a garden on elevated [698] ground. Heavy rain fell upon it, and it yielded double the fruit. And if heavy rain does not fall on it, then dew suffices [699]. And Allah observes what you do [700].
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 265
266. Does any one of you like to have a garden of dates and grapes [701], beneath which rivers flow, in which there are all kinds of fruit? Then, old age came to him and he has weak children [702]. Then came a whirlwind containing fire, and so it was burnt. Thus does Allah make clear to you His signs, so that you may ponder [703].
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 266
267. O you who believe! Give [704] from the good things, which you have earned, and from what We have brought forth for you from the earth [705]. Do not intend to give the worthless part of your earnings in charity, while you would not take it yourself, unless with closed eyes [706]. And know that Allah is Self-Sufficient and Praiseworthy.
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 267
268. The devil threatens you with poverty and commands you to commit lewdness [707]. But Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. Surely, Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing [708].
Surah Name : Al-Baqarah Surah Number : 2 Ayat Number: 268
270. And whatever you spend on expenditures or make vows [711], then surely Allah knows of it. And for the unjust, there are no helpers [712].
