Quran Surah 2 Al Baqarah Ayat 151-162

 Quran 2:151,152 A messenger was sent from among you in your favor for you to imitate in learning the signs of the scripture and purifying yourself and filling you with knowledge Keep God in your memory with gratefulness and God will regard you well

Messages from God came in your own image to show favor to you
Memorize the scripture, fill yourself with knowledge, and purify yourself
You will be regarded by God if you keep God in your memory

 Quran 2:153-155 Say not “they are dead” of those who are slain because they reside with God although you cannot perceive it God tests you with fear of hunger and loss of fruits of your toil and goodness Keep on waiting calming for answers with a thankful heart

The souls of the dead do not extinguish, they are with God
Man’s soul is an eternal part of the realm of the unseen
Hunger and loss after toil are tests from God against your soul
Be thankful always for what you have waiting calmly for more
Do not despise Gods creation, forgive it again and again

 Quran 2:156-158 When afflicted with calamity think of your opportunity here, one lifetime is what you get Guidance is received in the form of blessings and mercy The mountains are Gods sign, painful to surmount and laden beneath with life giving water springs

One lifetime is enough time to rise above the affliction of calamities
Blessings and mercy are a form of guidance
The mountains peaks are unforgiving yet in their belly is generated the headwater of all the worlds rivers

 Quran 2:159,160 Those who conceal clear signs and guidance after the book made it clear to people, on them is curses from God Until they openly declare the truth, repent and make amends

God curses those who conceal signs and guidance
Man will not escape God’s curse until he repents and make amends

Quran 2:161,162 Who ignore truth abide therein their fakeness Nothing rises in equivalence or above God Day and night rotate The ships float on a fathomless ocean for mankind’s profit Rain sends to a dead earth, revives its beasts Wind and clouds are signs of God

Who ignores truth lives a life of falsehood
Religion can’t over stand God
Day and night, floating vessels on unfathomable ocean depths only God produces
Wind and clouds are signs of the revival of life of plants and beasts
