The Heifer (Al-Baqarah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
A. L. M. 1 This Book whereof there is no doubt, is a guidance unto the God-fearing. 2 Who believe in the Unseen, and establish prayer, and out of that wherewith We have provided them expend. 3 who believe in the Book We have sent down to you (i.e. the Qur'an) and in the Books sent down before you, and firmly believe in the Hereafter. 4 It is the pious who follow the guidance of their Lord and gain lasting happiness. 5 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. 6 Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and ears; their sight is dimmed and for them is a great punishment. 7
