In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful

1:1 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1:2 Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the world;
1:3 Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
1:4 Master of the Day of Judgment.
1:5 Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.
1:6 Show us the straight way,
1:7 The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

2:1 A.L.M.
2:2 This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God;
2:3 Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;
2:4 And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter. 2:5 They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.
2:6 As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.
2:7 God hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).

2:8 Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in God and the Last Day;" but they do not (really) believe.
2:9 Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realise (it) not!
2:10 In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease: And grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves).
2:11 When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "Why, we only Want to make peace!"
2:12 Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.
2:13 When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe:" They say: "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are the fools, but they do not know.
2:14 When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say: "We are really with you: We (were) only jesting."
2:15 God will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (To and fro).
2:16 These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,
