Surah Al-Baqarah (2)

Alif Lām Mīm

/ʔalif laːm miːm/

Alif, Lam, Meem (disjointed letters; their meaning is known to Allah)

Dhālika l-kitābu lā rayba fīhi hudan lil-muttaqīn

/ðaːlika lkitaːbu laː rajba fiːhi hudan lilmuttaqiːn/

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for the God-conscious

Alladhīna yuʾminūna bi-l-ghaybi wa-yuqīmūna ṣ-ṣalāta wa-mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn

/ʔallaðiːna juʔminuːna bilɣajbi wajuqiːmuːna sˤsˤalaːta wamimmaː razaqnaːhum junfiquːn/

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

Wa-lladhīna yuʾminūna bimā unzila ilayka wa-mā unzila min qablika wa-bi-l-ākhirati hum yūqinūn

/wallaðiːna juʔminuːna bimaː ʔunzila ʔilajka wamaː ʔunzila min qablika wabilʔaːxirati hum juːqinuːn/

And who believe in what was sent down to you and what was sent down before you, and are certain of the Hereafter

Ulāʾika ʿalā hudan min rabbihim wa-ulāʾika humu l-mufliḥūn

/ʔulaːʔika ʕalaː hudan mirrabbihim waʔulaːʔika humu lmufliħuːn/

Those are upon guidance from their Lord, and those are the successful

Inna lladhīna kafarū sawāʾun ʿalayhim a-andhartahum am lam tundhirhum lā yuʾminūn

/ʔinna llaðiːna kafaruː sawaːʔun ʕalajhim ʔaʔanðartahum ʔam lam tunðirhum laː juʔminuːn/

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

Khatama llāhu ʿalā qulūbihim wa-ʿalā samʿihim wa-ʿalā abṣārihim ghishāwatun wa-lahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīm

/xatama ɫɫaːhu ʕalaː quluːbihim waʕalaː samʕihim waʕalaː ʔabsˤaːrihim ɣiʃaːwatun walahum ʕaðaːbun ʕaðˤiːm/

Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and over their vision is a veil; and for them is a great punishment

Wa-mina n-nāsi man yaqūlu āmannā bi-llāhi wa-bi-l-yawmi l-ākhiri wa-mā hum bi-muʾminīn

/wamina nnaːsi man jaquːlu ʔaːmannaː billaːhi wabiljawmi lʔaːxiri wamaː hum bimuʔminiːn/

And among the people are those who say, “We believe in Allah and the Last Day,” but they are not believers

Yukhādiʿūna llāha wa-lladhīna āmanū wa-mā yakhdaʿūna illā anfusahum wa-mā yashʿurūn

/juxaːdiʕuːna ɫɫaːha wallaðiːna ʔaːmanuː wamaː jaxdaʕuːna ʔillaː ʔanfusahum wamaː jaʃʕuruːn/

They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive none but themselves, and they do not perceive

Fī qulūbihim maraḍun fa-zādahumu llāhu maraḍā, wa-lahum ʿadhābun alīmum bimā kānū yakdhibūn

/fiː quluːbihimmaradˤun fazaːdahumu ɫɫaːhu maradˤan walahum ʕaðaːbun ʔaliːmum bimaː kaːnuː jakðibuːn/

In their hearts is a disease, so Allah has increased their disease, and for them is a painful punishment because they used to lie
