The Heifer (Al-Baqarah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Alif-Lam-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. 1 This is the Book of Allah: there is no doubt about it. It is guidance to Godfearing people, 2 the pious who believe in the unseen, attend to prayer, give in charity part of what We have granted them; 3 who have faith in what has been revealed to you and others before you and have strong faith in the life hereafter. 4 they are the people who are rightly following their Lord and it is they who shall be successful. 5 Verily those who have disbelieved, it is equal to them whether thou warnest them or warnest them not; they will not believe. 6 God has sealed their hearts and ears, and veiled their eyes. For them is great deprivation. 7
