1 Alim. Lam. Mim.
2 Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal.
3 He hath revealed unto thee Muhammad the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was revealed before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel. Those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom.
4 Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the Criterion of right and wrong. Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite the wrong.
5 Lo! nothing in the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah.
6 He it is Who fashioneth you in the wombs as pleaseth Him. There is no God save Him, the Almighty, the Wise.
7 He it is Who hath revealed unto thee Muhammad the Scripture wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others which are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking to cause dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation save Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed.
8 Our Lord! Cause not our hearts to stray after Thou hast guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Thy Presence. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Bestower.
9 Our Lord! Lo! it is Thou Who gatherest mankind together to a Day of which there is no doubt. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst. Those who disbelieve will be fuel for the Fire.
10 On that Day neither the riches nor the progeny of those who disbelieve will aught avail them with Allah. They will be fuel for Fire.
om even aan te tonen dat ik ook echt de Qoran hier heb; zie hier de inleiding van het desbetreffende hoofdstuk waar ik daarnet uit Ge-quote heb
