Hizb 1: Alif-Lam-Meem, Part 1

Chapter 1: The Opening

1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.

3. The Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

4. Master of the Day of Judgment.

5. It is You we worship, and upon You alone we ask for help:

6. Guide us to the straight path,

7. The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided.

Chapter 2: The Heifer

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful,

1. Alif, Lam, Meem.

2. This is the Book, the Book in which there is no doubt. This is the guide for those mindful of God,

3. Those who believe in the unseen, and perform prayer, and give from what We have provided for them,

4. And those who believe in what was revealed to you, Oh Prophet, and in what was revealed before you, and have faith in the Hereafter.

5. It is they who are truly guided by their Lord, and it is they who are successful.

6. As for those who disbelieve, it is the same for them, whether you have warned them or not—they will not believe.

7. God has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. In this, they will suffer horrendous torment.

8. Among the people are some who say, “We believe in God and in the Last Day,” yet they are not believers.

9. They seek to disfigure God and deceive those who believe, but they deceive none but themselves, though they are not aware.

10. In their hearts is sickness, and God has only let that sickness fester. They will suffer a painful punishment for their lies.
