Prophets In The Quran

Quran Passages

2:31 He taught Adam the names—all of them. Then He presented them to the angels, and said, “Tell me the names of these, if you are truthful.”

2:33 Then He said, “O Adam, inform them of their names.” When he had done so, He said, “Didn’t I say to you that I know the unseen aspects of the heavens and the earth, and that I know what you disclose and what you conceal?”

2:34 And when We said to the angels, “Prostrate yourselves before Adam,” they all did, except Iblis. He refused, was arrogant, and became one of the ungrateful.

2:35 We said, “O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise, and eat freely from it wherever you wish, but don’t approach this tree, else you become wrongdoers.”

2:37 Then Adam received words from his Lord, and He accepted his repentance. He is the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful.

2:51 We summoned Moses for forty nights, and in his absence, you took to worshiping the calf and were wrongdoers.

2:53 We gave Moses the Scripture and the discernment to guide you.

2:54 Moses said to his people, “O my people, you’ve wronged yourselves by adopting the calf. So repent to your Maker and kill yourselves; this is better for you before your Maker.” Then, He accepted your repentance. He is the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful.

2:55 When you said, “O Moses, we won’t believe you until we see Allah plainly,” a thunderbolt struck you while you watched.

2:60 And when Moses sought water for his people, We instructed, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Twelve springs gushed from it, and each tribe knew its drinking place. “Eat and drink from Allah’s provision, and don’t corrupt the earth with disobedience.”

2:61 When you said, “O Moses, we can’t endure one kind of food. So pray to your Lord for us, to produce for us earthly crops like herbs, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions.” He replied, “Would you exchange something superior for something inferior? Go down to any city, and you’ll have what you requested.” They were stricken with humiliation and misery, and they incurred Allah’s wrath. This was because they rejected Allah’s signs, unjustly killed prophets, and because they disobeyed and transgressed.

2:67 When Moses told his people, “Allah commands you to sacrifice a cow,” they replied, “Are you making fun of us?” He replied, “I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant.”

2:87 We gave Moses the Scripture, and followed him up with the succession of messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, the miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever a messenger comes to you with something that doesn’t suit your desires, you respond with arrogance, denying some and murdering others?

2:91 When they are told, “Believe in what Allah revealed,” they respond, “We believe in what was revealed to us.” Yet they deny what came after it, even though it’s the truth confirming what they have. Say, “Why, then, did you kill Allah’s prophets previously, if you are believers?”

2:92 Moses came to you with clear signs, yet you chose to worship the calf in his absence, while you were wrongdoers.

2:98 Whoever is an enemy to Allah, His angels, His messengers, Gabriel, and Michael—Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.

2:101 And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah, confirming what was with them, a faction of those who were given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allah behind their backs, as though they didn’t know.

2:108 Would you question your Messenger as Moses was questioned before? Whoever exchanges faith for disbelief has strayed from the right way.

2:124 And when Abraham was tested by his Lord with commands, and he fulfilled them. He said, “I will make you a leader for the people.” He asked, “What about my descendants?” He replied, “My covenant doesn’t extend to the wrongdoers.”

2:125 We made the House as a gathering place and a sanctuary for people. And take the station of Abraham as a place of prayer. We commanded Abraham and Ishmael, “Purify My House for those who circumambulate, those who meditate, and those who kneel and prostrate.”

2:126 Abraham prayed, “My Lord, make this a secure land, and provide its people with fruits—those among them who believe in Allah and the Last Day.” He replied, “As for those who disbelieve, I will let them enjoy a little, then I will compel them to the punishment of the Fire—a terrible destination.”

2:127 When Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House, they prayed, “Our Lord, accept this from us; You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

2:129 Our Lord, raise among them a messenger from themselves, who will convey to them Your verses, teach them the Scripture and wisdom, and purify them. You are the Almighty, the Wise.”

2:130 And who would turn away from the faith of Abraham but someone who fools his own soul? We chose him in this world, and in the Hereafter, he will be among the righteous.
