(1:1) In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate¹

(1:2) Praise² be to Allah, the Lord³ of the entire universe.

(1:3) The Merciful, the Compassionate⁴

(1:4) The Master of the Day of Recompense⁵.

(1:5) You alone do we worship⁶, and You alone do we turn for help⁷

(1:6) Direct us on to the Straight Way⁸,

(1:7) The way of those whom You have favoured⁹, who did not incur Your wrath, who are not astray¹⁰.

(2:1) Alif, Lam, Mim.¹

(2:2) This is the Book of Allah, there is no doubt in it;² it is a guidance for the pious,³

(2:3) for those who believe in the existence of that which is beyond the reach of perception,⁴ who establish Prayer⁵ and spend out of what We have provided them,⁶

(2:4) who believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you,⁷ and have firm faith in the Hereafter.⁸

(2:5) Such are on true guidance from their Lord; such are the truly successful.

(2:6) As for those who have rejected (these truths),⁹ it is all the same whether or not you warn them, for they will not believe.

(2:7) Allah has sealed their hearts¹⁰ and their hearing, and a covering has fallen over their eyes. They deserve severe chastisement.
