Al-Baqarah

Vers: 1

الٓمٓ

Alif Lām Mīm^[1].

[1] Allah knows the meaning of these disjointed Arabic letters. This bears testimony to the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source.

Vers: 2

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَۛ فِيهِۛ هُدٗى لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for the righteous^[2],

[2] Literally, "those who have taqwā," i.e., who have piety, righteousness, fear and love of Allah, and who take great care of avoiding His displeasure.

Vers: 3

ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ

those who believe in the unseen, establish prayer^[3], and spend out of what We^[4] have provided for them,

[3] At its proper times and fulfill its all conditions. [4] "We" in reference to Allah in the Qur’anic verses is necessarily understood to denote grandeur and power.

Vers: 4

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ وَبِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ

and those who believe in what has been sent down to you [O Prophet] and in what was sent down before you^[5], and in the Hereafter they believe with certainty.

[5] i.e., the Taurāt (Torah) and the Injīl (Gospel), etc.

Vers: 5

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدٗى مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ

It is they who are upon guidance from their Lord, and it is they who are successful.
