And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and [religious] vision.
Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home [of the Hereafter].
And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding.
And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.
This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return
Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.
Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink.
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age.
This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.
Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion.
This [is so]. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return -
Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the resting place.
This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence.
And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.
[Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."
They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, [our leaders], brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement."
They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire."
And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?
Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"
Indeed, that is truth - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.
Say, [O Muhammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allah , the One, the Prevailing.
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver."
Say, "It is great news
From which you turn away.
I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].
It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."
[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.
So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.
Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.
[ Allah ] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"
He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."
[ Allah ] said, "Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled.
And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."
He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
[ Allah ] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
Until the Day of the time well-known."
[Iblees] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all
Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
[ Allah ] said, "The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say -
[That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."
Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious

First & Second Rak'ah--->> Surah Baqarah End [2]
[2:284]
To Allah belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. If you disclose what is in your hearts or conceal it, Allah shall hold you accountable for it, then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills. Allah is powerful over everything.
[2:285]
The Messenger has believed in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and the believers as well. All have believed in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers. “We make no division between any of His Messengers,” and they have said: “We have listened, and obeyed. Our Lord, (we seek) Your pardon! And to You is the return.”
[2:286]
Allah does not obligate anyone beyond his capacity. For him is what he has earned, and on him what he has incurred.
“Our Lord, do not hold us accountable, if we forget or make a mistake, and, Our Lord, do not place on us such a burden as You have placed on those before us, and, Our Lord, do not make us bear a burden for which we have no strength. And pardon us, and grant us forgiveness, and have mercy on us. You are our Lord. So then help us against the disbelieving people.”
One site I like to use if there's lots of Arabic text (e.g. a long passage that has been recited), to save space, is www.qtafsir.com, and choose "go to verse" on the left, then you can pick the surah and ayah you want from the drop-down list. (It does some times quote ayaat from other parts as part of the tafseer so have to be careful).
Another good site is: http://www.islamicity.com/quransearch/, searching by ayaat and surahs on the right, or words, topics and sound-alikes on the left. (If you have other good sites you use for the Arabic, please share them).
You can copy and paste the Arabic text here, as one passage, then if you want to give it the "Madinah look", use these tags around it (click reply to this post to see the tags)
Copy and paste the tags into the post first, and then copy and paste the Arabic between, as it's easier that way. If you do Arabic text first, then tags, it can sometimes get a bit tricky.
–إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنَّـتُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلاً خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَا لاَ يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلاً Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
Second Rak'ah--->> Surah Maryam [19] إِن كُلُّ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ إِلاَّ آتِى الرَّحْمَـنِ عَبْداً There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.
لَّقَدْ أَحْصَـهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدّاً He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.
وَكُلُّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ فَرْداً And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَـنُ وُدّاً Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـهُ بِلَسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهِ قَوْماً لُّدّاً So, [O Muhammad], We have only made Qur'an easy in the Arabic language that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِّن قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزاً And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?
