Surah Baqarah last 3 Ayat in Arabic

 لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ ۖ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

Surah Baqarah last 3 Ayat Meaning

(284) To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allāh will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.

(285) The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allāh and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.”

(286) Allāh does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. “Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
[Sahih International]

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5051, Sahih Muslim 808). Scholars explain “sufficient” to include protection from Shaytan, from harm during sleep, and as standing in for the night prayer if one cannot pray Qiyam. These ayat were also given as a special gift to the Prophet ﷺ during the Night Journey (Mi’raj).

When is the best time to recite the last 3 ayat of Surah Al-Baqarah?

The best time is at night before sleeping, based on the hadith “whoever recites them at night, they will be sufficient for him.” Many scholars also recommend reciting them after the five obligatory prayers as part of the daily adhkar, and during times of fear, illness, or distress. Reciting them in the home is also reported to drive Shaytan from that house for three nights (Sahih Muslim).

What is the meaning of the dua at the end of Ayat 286?

The dua at the end of Ayat 286 is one of the most comprehensive supplications in the Quran. It asks: do not punish us for forgetting or making mistakes; do not place on us a burden like You placed on those before us; do not burden us with what we cannot bear; pardon us, forgive us, have mercy on us; You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelieving people. Allah responded to each request with “qad fa’altu” (“I have done so”) according to a hadith in Sahih Muslim.

According to Ibn Mas’ud and other companions, the last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ during the Night Journey (Mi’raj) when he ascended to the heavens. Ibn Mas’ud reported: “The Prophet ﷺ was given three things on the Night of the Mi’raj: the five daily prayers, the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, and the forgiveness of major sins for those of his Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.” (Sahih Muslim 173).
