Alif. Lām. Mīm.

This Book has no doubt in it - a guidance for the God-fearing,

who believe in the Unseen, and are steadfast in Salāh (prayer), and spend out of what We have provided them;

and who believe in what has been revealed to you and what has been revealed before you; and they have faith in the Hereafter.

It is these who are guided by their Lord; and it is just these who are successful.

Surely for those who have disbelieved, it is all the same whether you warn them or you warn them not: they do not believe.

Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing; and on their eyes there is a covering, and for them awaits a mighty punishment.

And among men there are some who say, “We believe in Allah and in the Last Day”, yet they are not believers.

They try to deceive Allah and those who believe, while they are not deceiving anyone except themselves, although they are unaware of it.

In their hearts there is a malady, so Allah has made them grow in their malady; and for them there is a grievous punishment, because they have been lying.

When it is said to them, “Do not spread disorder on the earth”, they say, “We are but reformers.”

Beware, it is, in fact, they who spread disorder, but they do not appreciate.

And when it is said to them, “Believe as people have believed,” they say, “Shall we believe as the fools have believed?” Beware, it is, in fact, they who are the fools, but they do not know.

When they meet those who believe, they say, “We have entered Faith;” but when they are alone with their satans, they say, “Indeed, we are with you; we were only mocking.”

It is Allah who mocks at them, and lets them go on wandering blindly in their rebellion.

These are the people who have bought error at the price of guidance; so their trade has brought no gain, nor have they reached the right Path.
