Chapter 1: Al-Fātiḥah: The Opening

1 Praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the worlds,

2 The Beneficent, the Merciful,

3 Master of the day of Requital.

4 Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help.

5 Guide us on the right path,

6 The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favours,

7 Not those upon whom wrath is brought down, nor those who go astray.

Part 1

Chapter 2: Al-Baqarah: The Cow

1 I, Allāh, am the best Knower.

2 This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who keep their duty,

3 Who believe in the Unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them,

4 And who believe in that which has been revealed to thee and that which was revealed before thee, and of the Hereafter they are sure.

5 These are on a right course from their Lord and these it is that are successful.

6 Those who disbelieve — it being alike to them whether thou warn them or warn them not — they will not believe.

7 Allāh has sealed their hearts and their hearing; and there is a covering on their eyes, and for them is a grievous chastisement.

8 And there are some people who say: We believe in Allāh and the Last Day; and they are not believers.

9 They seek to deceive Allāh and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they perceive not.
