the Surah Baqara: page 1

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Alif. Lam. Mim.

This is the Scripture whereof there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off evil

Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them

And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter.

These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful

As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not

Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom

And of mankind are some who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, when they believe not

They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not

In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie

And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only

Are not they indeed the mischief-makers? But they perceive not

And when it is said unto them: believe as the people believe, they say: shall we believe as the foolish believe? are not they indeed the foolish? But they know not

And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe; but when they go apart to their devils they declare: Lo! we are with you; verily we did but mock

Allah (Himself) doth mock them, leaving them to wander blindly on in their contumacy

These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided
