Surah Al-Baqarah – Ayah no. 75-82 i.e. 2:75-82
A- Translation
٧٥ أَفَتَطْمَعُونَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
[Quran 2:75] Do you desire that they will have Emaan (يُؤْمِنُو) in you, while a Fareeq (فَرِيقٌ) among them had heard the Word of Allah, and then they deliberately distort it, even after they had Aqallo (عَقَلُو) it while they know?
٧٦ وَإِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ قَالُوا أَتُحَدِّثُونَهُمْ بِمَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِيُحَاجُّوكُمْ بِهِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
[Quran 2:76] And when they meet those who have Emaan (آمَنُو), they say, “We have Emaan (آمَنَّا),” but when some of them retreat to some of the others, they say, “Will you tell them of what Allah has disclosed to you, so that they can argue with you concerning it before your Rabb (رَبِّكُمْ); Do you not Ta’qaloon (تَعْقِلُونَ)?”
٧٧ أَوَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
[Quran 2:77] Do they not know that Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal?
٧٨ وَمِنْهُمْ أُمِّيُّونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا أَمَانِيَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ
[Quran 2:78] And among them are the Ummiyyuun (أُمِّيُّونَ) who do not have knowledge of the Book except through hearsay, and they are only assuming.
٧٩ فَوَيْلٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ الْكِتَابَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَٰذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا بِهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ مِمَّا كَتَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَيْلٌ لَهُمْ مِمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ
[Quran 2:79] So Wai’lun (َوَيْلٌ) to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say, “This is from Allah,” in order to sell it for a little price. So, Wai’lun (َوَيْلٌ) to them for what their hands have written, and Wai’lun (َوَيْلٌ) to them for what they earn.
٨٠ وَقَالُوا لَنْ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلَّا أَيَّامًا مَعْدُودَةً ۚ قُلْ أَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدًا فَلَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ عَهْدَهُ ۖ أَمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
[Quran 2:80] And they say, “The Fire will never touch us except for a counted period.” Say “Do you have an agreement with Allah for Allah never breaks the agreement? Or are you saying about Allah what you not know?”
٨١ بَلَىٰ مَنْ كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَاطَتْ بِهِ خَطِيئَتُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
[Quran 2:81] Indeed! Whoever earns Sayyiatan (سَيِّئَةً), while their Khatiiatu-hu (خَطِيئَتُهُ)has encompassed them, then those will be the companions of the Fire; they will be therein Khaliduun (خَالِدُونَ).
٨٢ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
[Quran 2:82] As for those who have Emaan (آمَنُو) and do righteous deeds—these are the companions of the Jannat; they will be therein Khaliduun (خَالِدُونَ).
B- THE CONCEPT:
In these ayahs from 2:75-82 Allah is giving us a description of three types of people among the believers, who project themselves more literate in Deen and advise religious matters to other innocent people, informing others about what is in the book i.e., what is Allah saying in the book; but they are not righteous people. The Three types of people as described in these ayahs are as follows;
- First type of advisors comprised of such people who falsely claim that they have Emaan when they are among the innocent believers, showing them, that they have knowledge of the Deen- they know the true Hidayah from Allah, and what is in the book as they teach the innocent believers with twisted, misconstrued, mistranslated and misinterpreted Allah’s ayahs to get worldly benefits. In addition to this Allah is telling us about this group of people who are clever, as they have Aqaloo the Kitaab, i.e., they do completely understand Allah’s message by employing their reasoning and intellectual faculties but they twist Allah’s words and give impression to others that whatever they are saying are the words of Allah but in reality, these are not Allah’s Sayings and not from the book. These types of advisors are mentioned in the ayah2:75 with further details about them in the ayahs 2:79 as to how they distort Allah’s words and what’s the motive behind these acts. The ayah 2:75 “Do you desire that they will have Emaan in you, while a Fareeq among them had heard the Word of Allah, and then they deliberately distort it, even after they had Aqallo it while they know?
- Second type of advisors comprised of such people who are under the influence of the first type of the clever misleading people and they are also involved in misleading teachings to the innocent believers. Although they also completely understand Allah’s message, but their hearts are not that hardened like the first type, and therefore there is a chance they may start giving the true teachings of Allah’s ayahs to the innocent believers. Due to this possibility, the first type of stone hearted clever people keeps on checking this second type of advisors. Allah has depicted a conversation in these ayahs when the first type of advisors is asking the second type not to reveal the true hidayah to innocent believers which Allah has shown to both of them. If they inform innocent believers about what Allah has shown as a true hidayah then these innocent believers will argue with both of these advisors (due to the difference in what both of them are teaching) in front of Allah after they know the difference in their teachings. These types of advisors and their conversations with the first type are mentioned in the two ayahs 2:76 “And when they meet those who have Emaan, they say, “We have Emaan,” but when some of them retreat to some of the others, they say, “Will you tell them of what Allah has disclosed to you, so that they can argue with you concerning it before your Rabb; Do you not Ta’qaloon?” and 2:77 “Do they not know that Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal?”
- Third type of advisors to innocent believers are those people who are Ummiyuun, that is they do not even understand the Allah’s ayahs and Hidayhs, but in their foolishness and ignorance, they start making assumptions about the Hidayah from the surface level of the Kitaab and start teaching other believers as per their wishful thinking and unwise assumptions. These types of advisors who follow only the heresay and assume without any understanding or knowledge of the Kitaab themselves are mentioned in the ayah 2:78 “And among them are the Ummiyyuun who do not have knowledge of the Book except through hearsay, and they are only assuming”
For all above three types of people who bring themselves above the level of an average individual/innocent believer, and who become advisors to other people in matters of Deen; the ayah 2:79 “So Wai’lun to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say, “This is from Allah,” in order to sell it for a little price. So, Wai’lun to them for what their hands have written, and Wai’lun to them for what they earn” is telling us very clearly that they are doing this in order to get worldly benefits- a little price, source of earnings, titles, respect and other worldly benefits such as fame, popularity, wealth, money, respect from people, other worldly benefits and privileges. They all twist and amend Allah’s ayahs. For them Allah has used the word WA’IL (َوَيْلٌ) as an announcement of destruction, devastation, and ruining based on what they have earned as their due rights and also as an expression of extreme pain and unhappiness to express the ultimate extent of this miserable and gloomy situation of the injustice and Zulm that they have done w.r.t. Allah’s Hidayah and Kitaab which is one of the biggest favors of Allah on them. The same expression and for the same act, Allah has mentioned in the Ayah 2:59 “WA’IL to those who write the book with their own hands, and then say, “This is from Allah” that they may exchange it for a little price. WA’IL to them for what their hands have written, and WA’IL to them for what they earn”.
The next ayah 2:80 “And they say, “The Fire will never touch us except for a counted period.” Say “Do you have an agreement with Allah for Allah never breaks the agreement? Or are you saying about Allah what you not know?” is talking about the wishful thinking and unwise assumption of these three types of Advisors, as well as of some Muslims, who claim that we as Muslims will not be destined to Hell no matter what. May be for few days in order to compensate our misdeeds. According to this wishful thinking these people believe that instead of only punishment, Hell Fire is a purifying process and after a person has spent appointed time in Hell, he/she will have opportunities to repent and receive salvation by being transferred to heaven wherein they will then remain forever. Such misconceptions are not backed by Quran. In fact, in the ayah 2:80 Allah is giving a very strong argument that, ‘do these people have any covenant from Allah, do they have any clear ayah from Allah which gives them this confirmation, or they are just saying something for which they have no knowledge?’. In this ayah, Allah did not use strong words for these bluffing people since it’s a matter of their wishful thinking as they are assuming instead of lying in that particular matter as evidenced by the phrase “Or are you saying about Allah what you not know”.
On the other hand, Allah has clearly advised us in Quran that on the Day of Judgment, accountability will be tough and the balance of deeds will decide the destination for that particular soul. This is further stressed in the ayahs 2:81 “Indeed! Whoever earns Sayyiatan, while their Khatiiatu-hu has encompassed them, then those will be the companions of the Fire; they will be therein Khaliduun” and 2:82 “As for those who have Emaan and do righteous deeds—these are the companions of the Jannat; they will be therein Khaliduun” wherein Allah is advising us clearly that, no matter of who is who, those who do bad deeds will be indulged and trapped in to their own bad deeds and will be destined to hell fire forever. And those, who have EMAAN and do righteous deeds, will have their eternal abode as Heaven, wherein they will live forever. The concept of living in the hell for ever, that is the concept of Khalidun is normally misinterpreted by most translators. According to many, the hell or hellfire does not necessarily convey the idea of a never-ending state by mistranslating these terms as a long, continuous but definite period of time, indicating that although the Hell itself is eternal, but a person’s time there may not be. Some believe that, hell is not only a punishment, but it is also a purifying process and after a person has spent appointed time in Hell, the person will have opportunity to repent and receive salvation by being transferred to heaven where that person will remain forever. Such misconceptions are not backed by Quran. As per Quran the accountability in the hereafter is based on scale of justice; if the right side, which referred as good deeds, will be heavier, the person will be inhabitant of Heaven, otherwise will be destined for hell, either of the situation, the place will be their maskan, the eternal residence forever i.e. they will remain therein Khalidun.
C- IMPLEMENTATION IN TODAY’S LIFE
The lessons that we can learn and apply through these ayahs from ayah no. 75-82, is to remind ourselves about the fact that rather than following other Advisors in matters of Deen, we are responsible for our own actions and beliefs. On the Day of Judgment, we will be held accountable for our own actions and the accountability will be done as per the scales of justice. At that point of time, we will not be able to say that since we follow such and such person, they mislead us from our way- we will be held accountable for what we will earn and these advisors will be held accountable for their actions and deeds. If our scales are heavier on the right side with righteous deeds and firm Emaan, our final abode will be Jannah. If on the other hand the left side is heavier than the final destiny will be hell forever.
It is also clear from these ayahs as well as many other verses of Quran that Allah puts an extraordinary emphasis on us to use our intellect and reasoning. Without using our Aqal, we would be worse than even animals in the sight of Allah. The revelation from Allah i.e. Quran is meant to be used with reason and understanding in order to enlighten our minds and hearts and not to be followed blindly. Blind Faith of any type, to any person or even on Quranic Ayah, is discouraged as per Quran. We cannot even fall deaf dumb and blind on Quranic Ayahs (Ayah 25:73), but have been advised to use our faculties.
Each and every one of us can understand Quran as it is been made simple (Ayah 54: 17, 22, 32 & 40) by Allah. In fact, as a Muslim, it is our duty to pick up Quran by ourselves. Rather than following anyone blindly or following any of the advisors, it is our first and foremost duty as a Muslim, to understand Quran by ourselves; i.e. to pick up Quran, utilize all our faculties and abilities to do thinking and pondering on Quranic Ayahs, and understand Deen through Quran, and practically apply Deen in our lives.

AMAN (آمَنَ) & EMAAN (الْإِيمَانِ) Emaanukum (إِيمَانَكُمْ) your Emaan; female Momin (مُؤْمِنَةٌ) & male Momin (مُؤْمِنٌ) & Momineen (لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ) plural- those who have Emaan. The word Aman means safety, security, contend and tranquility. These words also have the basic characteristics of the meanings such as to be calm and quiet (in one’s heart); to be protected from fear; trustworthiness, and with complete truthfulness. Emaan also means to accept truthfully, to be convinced with strong conviction, and to verify something, to rely upon or have confidence in something. The Word Emaan as per Quran means to have strong faith on, to trust, to submit to, to declare something being confirmed truth, to guarantee, to obey and to have strong conviction on something. It’s not a blind faith but is a conviction based on reasoning and knowledge; a conviction that results from full mental acceptance and intellectual satisfaction; the kind of conviction which gives us a feeling of inner peace, contentment and satisfaction of heart and mind. X-Reference – 2:9, 2:85, 2:108, 2:121, 2:126 , 2:143 , 2:254 , 2:257 , 4:136 , 5:10 , 7:179 , 8:21-22 , 10:101 , 25:73 , 27:81 , 29:2-3 , 49:14.
AQAL (عَقَلُ) TA’QALOON (تَعْقِلُونَ) YA”QILOON (يَعْقِلُونَ) verbs in the meanings of using Aqal- the word Aqal means brain, our reasoning and intellectual faculty. Whenever Allah has used the word Taqaloon or Yaqaloon or Aqallo, it means to use brain to understand things and matters. Quran stresses the importance of using brain and our intellectual faculties of reasonings and logics time and time again so much so that those who do not use their faculties of reasoning and intellect, are termed as worse than animals in the ayah 7:179 telling us in no unclear terms that they are destined for hell and all their faculties of, sight, smell, hearing, speaking, are of no use to them if they are not using their intellectual faculties of reasoning and logics. In order to understand Quran and to seek, explore and understand the Ayaat of Allah, the basic pre-requisite is the use of Aqal. Therefore, in the ayah 2:44 when Allah said “Do you order Barre of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the book? Will you not TA’QALOON (تَعْقِلُونَ)?”- means, you ask people to be righteous and Momin but the same teachings are not reflecting in your behaviors and actions because you are not using your brains to understand the book i.e., it is simply limited to recitation only. Similarly, when in ayah 2:75, Allah is telling us about a group of people who listened to the words of Allah, but after they AQALLO (عَقَلُو) it, i.e. after they have understood it, through the use of their intellectual faculties of reasoning and logic, they twisted it for worldly benefits, while they knew what they were doing. In the ayah 2:76 when the same word is used by one group of people towards others, by saying TA’QALOON (تَعْقِلُونَ), they are in fact asking them to use logics and reasoning, in terms of their attempt to influence the other group to keep on concealing Allah’s Ayaat. X-Reference 2:75, 2:76, 2:144, 2:170-171, 3:118, 5:58, 6:151, 7:179, 23:80, 26:28, 29:35, 30:28, 43:3, 67:10.
RABB (رَبِّ) & RABBOIBIAT – RABBIHIM (رَبِّهِمْ)- their RABB: The Quality of Rab is Rabobiat. The word RABB cannot be translated in one English word as the quality of Rabobiat covers a wide range of meanings. The word Rabobiat conveys not only the idea of creating, fostering, bringing up or nourishing, but also that of guiding, caring, designing, regulating, completing, cherishing, accomplishing, sustaining and bringing to maturity in such a manner so as to transition from one condition to another until the thing- the creation reaches the goal of completion & perfection. All the above processes are called the Rabobiat. And this is the meaning of Allah as Rabb meaning the one who is doing this Rabobiat for each and everything in this world and the universe hence the phrase- Rabb ul Alemeen i.e. the Rabb of all the worlds. X-Reference – 1:01, 2:05, 2:112, 2:131, 2:136, 2:139, 2:258, 2:285-286, 3:51, 3:147, 3:193, 5:68, 5:117, 12:39.
UMMAT (أُمَّةً) & UMMIYYUN (أُمِّيُّونَ) Ummatun (لَأَمَةٌ)- female – The word has the same characteristics as the sound that comes out of a child, the first word a child speaks which is normally in the sound of UMM meaning mother. Similarly, a person’s residence is called Umm and one’s nation or community is called Ummath. Thus, is used in meanings of Mother, Foundations, Residence, Abode, Nation, Community etc. for instance in ayah 3:07 it is used in the meaning of the foundation. The word is used in the same meanings in ayah 16:120 where Allah has said Ibrahim was an Ummatan. In this ayah the same word could also have been used in the meaning of the nation, community, since his personality was an embodiment of all the characteristics Allah desires in a nation. Al-UMMI or Ummiyun is normally translated as illiterate or uneducated, which is a wrong translation. But it means a person or people who is/are educated only from their mother or home since birth or innocent or pure. The word Ummatun (for female) is used for Momin woman in similar meanings as the word Abd is used for Momin man in the ayah 2:221. Therefore, it would have the same meanings as that for Aabid. The word Al-Ummi is also used in contrast with Ahle-Kitaab people of the book in the ayah 3:20 meaning those whom the book is not yet revealed before Quran or not yet understood by them. The word is used in the similar meanings in the ayah 3:75. When Allah says in ayah 2:78 “And among them are the Ummiyyuun who do not have knowledge of the Book except through hearsay, and they are only assuming” here the word Ummiyun is used in both meanings of being taught at home only, as well as those who do not understand the book. X-Reference – 2:78, 2:128, 2:134, 2:143, 3:07, 3:20, 3:75, 4:11, 4:23, 5:75, 6:42, 7:38, 7:160, 13:30, 20:38-40, 28:10, 33:4-6, 58:02, 62:02.
WA’IL & WA’LUN (َوَيْلٌ) normally translated as woe, basically means the announcement of destruction, devastation, and ruining as in the ayah 104:1; 14:02 and 2:79 based on what people have earned as their due right because of their actions/deeds/beliefs. It’s also used in the meanings of expression of combination of guilt, embarrassment and not being able to believe as in the ayahs 11:72 and 5:31. It is also used as an expression of pain and unhappiness to express the ultimate extent of a miserable and gloomy situation as in the ayah 2:79 wherein it is used thrice “So Wai’lun (َوَيْلٌ) to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say, “This is from Allah,” in order to sell it for a little price. So, Wai’lun (َوَيْلٌ) to them for what their hands have written, and Wai’lun (َوَيْلٌ) to them for what they earn”- this ayah has both, an expression of ultimate pain and unhappiness at this gloomy and miserable situation while at the same time it’s the announcement of destruction, devastation and ruining for what they have earned as their due right. X-Reference- 2:79 ;5:31 ; 11:72 ; 14:02 ; 18:49 ; 19:37 ; 20:61 ; 21:46 ; 21:97 ; 25:28 ; 28:80 ; 36:52 ; 37:20 ; 38:27 ; 39:22 ; 41:06 ; 43:65 ; 45:07 ; 46:17 ; 51:60 ; 104:01.
SAIYA & YUSUA’ (بِالسُّوءِ)- & SAYYIATAN (سَيِّئَةً) The word is used in the meanings of ‘Misfortune’ as well as ‘Evil’ and as ‘Opposite of husn & ahsan’. Husn & Ahsan basically means 4 categories of definition as (1) Something that looks good/pleasant; (2) to create balance-To fill the void/lack for someone; (3) To give something or do something for someone as Ina’am, i.e. without an expectation of any return & (4) Best/excellent, a step up of Ad’al. The word SAIYA & SAYYIATAN (سَيِّئَةً) used as an opposite of the word Husn & Ahsan, therefore it means (1) something that looks ugly, unpleasant and uncomfortable not just physically to our eyes but feels bad and to our soul, (2) to create fasaad, to create imbalance and destruction, to cause disbalance in something or in the society, (3) to make a trade focusing on selfish interests through deceit and destruction for others, aiming to earn wealth and money at the cost of others, (4) to have the worst behavior towards another, not giving them or suppressing their due rights and wanting more as a due right for oneself. The word is also used for any deed or saying or anything which is at, such a worst level that, if known, would be extremely embarrassing and shameful for those committing such deeds or saying such words. Therefore, when in the ayah 2:81 Allah says ‘Indeed! Whoever earns Sayyiatan (سَيِّئَةً)…” means that these people have earned for themselves misfortunes and destructions due to their evil deeds. X-Reference 2:81, 2:169 , 3:120, 4:31, 4:78-79, 4:85, 5:65, 6:160, 7:95, 10:27, 13:22, 17:38, 23:96, 27:46, 27:90, 28:84, 40:09, 40:40, 42:40, 42:48, 45:33, 66:08, 67:27.
KHATA & KHATTIIATU-HU (خَطِيئَتُهُ) is normally translated as sins or mistakes that have been committed knowingly as well as unknowingly. When in ayah 2:81 Allah says “Indeed! Whoever earns Sayyiatan (سَيِّئَةً), while their Khatiiatu-hu (خَطِيئَتُهُ) encompasses them…” meaning those who earn misfortune due to their Sayyiatan (evil) deeds and they get surrounded with their Khattain, normally translated as those mistakes. Thus it is normally translated as all of the mistakes whether they have committed them knowingly and unknowingly, willingly through planning or unwillingly etc. However, if we read ayah 33:05 “there is no blame upon you for that in which you do Khatabut what your hearts intended” which shows that Khata by definition from Quran are those mistakes that one commits knowingly only and as desired by the hearts. Therefore, in the ayah 69:37, those who are Khateuon are those who commit Khatain (meaning knowingly committed sins) are destined for hell. In this ayah 69:37 as well as 69:09 it is also used in the meanings of those who commit Zulm, disobedience and injustice, such as people of Pharaoh. And the same meanings are used in the ayah 2:81, meaning all such mistakes that they committed knowingly in accordance with what their hearts desired – they will be surrounded by such mistakes and will be in the hellfire for Khalidoon. X-Reference: 2:81, 4:92, 4:112, 7:161, 12:29, 12:91, 17:31, 26:51, 28:08, 29:12, 33:05, 69:09, 69:37, 71:25, 96:16.
KHALIDUUN (خَالِدُونَ) it means ‘Everlasting’, ‘Forever’, ‘Immortality’ or ‘Eternally’. This concept is normally misinterpreted by most translators, according to many, the hell or hellfire does not necessarily convey the idea of a never-ending state by mistranslating these terms as a long, continuous but definite period of time, indicating that although the Hell itself is eternal, but a person’s time there may not be. Some believe that, hell is not only a punishment, but it is also a purifying process and after a person has spent appointed time in Hell, the person will have opportunity to repent and receive salvation by being transferred to heaven where that person will remain forever. Such misconceptions are not backed by Quran. As per Quran the accountability in the hereafter is based on scale of justice; if the right side, which referred as good deeds, will be heavier, the person will be inhabitant of Heaven, otherwise will be destined for hell, either of the situation, the place will be their maskan, the eternal residence forever. In these ayahs of Surah Baqara, the same word khalidoon is used for both As’haab e Naar in the ayah 2:81 and As’haab e jannnat in the ayah 2:82 in equal manners, meaning they will remain therein forever. X-Reference 2:25, 2:81, 2:82, 2:257, 3:15, 3:107, 3:136, 3:198, 4:13, 4:13-14, 5:80, 10:52, 20:120, 21:34, 25:15, 25:69, 26:129, 32:14, 41:28, 50:34.
FARAQ (فَرَقْنَا) & FURQAN (وَالْفُرْقَانَ), & FAREEQ (فَرِيقًا)-noun; NUFFARIQU (نُفَرِّقُ)-verb we do Faraq- means to make distinctly clear and separated in terms of distinct differences. Therefore, in the ayah 2:136 the phrase “we Nuffariqu” would mean “we do not create any farq, any distinction, any difference, any separation or division between any of the Nabi- we consider all as equal in importance and significance”. The word is also means to distinctly separate the right from the wrong as in Furqan; or to make evident the right path from the wrong one; Alfarq is used for a scale, a criterion; Alfareeq word is therefore used for those who are distinct or separated as a group from the rest, as in the meanings of a party or a group; Quran is called Furqan, that is the ultimate criterion that makes distinctly evident the right from the wrong, the right path from the wrong path, the Haqq from the Baatil, the Kufr from the Emaan etc. those who divide and create divisions is also called the term Yufriqoon as in 2:102 and have been asked not to be divided as in La tufraqo as in ayah 3:103 X-Reference – 2:50 , 2:53 , 2:75 , 2:102 , 2:136 , 2:146, 2:185 , 3:04 , 3:84 , 3:103-105 , 4:150 , 5:25 , 5:70 , 6:159 , 7:30 , 8:29 , 9:122 , 24:47-48 , 30:94 , 30:32 , 42:13-14 , 65:02 , 77:04.
