ذَٰلِكَٱلۡكِتَٰبُلَارَيۡبَۛفِيهِۛهُدٗىلِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ٢

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allāh -

ٱلَّذِينَيُؤۡمِنُونَبِٱلۡغَيۡبِوَيُقِيمُونَٱلصَّلَوٰةَوَمِمَّارَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡيُنفِقُونَ٣

Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them,

وَٱلَّذِينَيُؤۡمِنُونَبِمَآأُنزِلَإِلَيۡكَوَمَآأُنزِلَمِنقَبۡلِكَوَبِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِهُمۡيُوقِنُونَ٤

And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَعَلَىٰهُدٗىمِّنرَّبِّهِمۡۖوَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَهُمُٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ٥

Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.

إِنَّٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُواْسَوَآءٌعَلَيۡهِمۡءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡأَمۡلَمۡتُنذِرۡهُمۡلَايُؤۡمِنُونَ٦

Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.

خَتَمَٱللَّهُعَلَىٰقُلُوبِهِمۡوَعَلَىٰسَمۡعِهِمۡۖوَعَلَىٰٓأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡغِشَٰوَةٞۖوَلَهُمۡعَذَابٌعَظِيمٞ٧

Allāh has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment.

وَمِنَٱلنَّاسِمَنيَقُولُءَامَنَّابِٱللَّهِوَبِٱلۡيَوۡمِٱلۡأٓخِرِوَمَاهُمبِمُؤۡمِنِينَ٨

And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh and the Last Day," but they are not believers.

يُخَٰدِعُونَٱللَّهَوَٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُواْوَمَايَخۡدَعُونَإِلَّآأَنفُسَهُمۡوَمَايَشۡعُرُونَ٩

They [think to] deceive Allāh and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.

فِيقُلُوبِهِممَّرَضٞفَزَادَهُمُٱللَّهُمَرَضٗاۖوَلَهُمۡعَذَابٌأَلِيمُۢبِمَاكَانُواْيَكۡذِبُونَ١٠

In their hearts is disease, so Allāh has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.
