[3:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [3:1] A.L.M.* *3:1 See Footnote 2:1 and Appendix One. [3:2] GOD: there is no god except He; the Living, the Eternal. [3:3] He sent down to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming all previous scriptures, and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. [3:4] before that, to guide the people, and He sent down the statute book. Those who disbelieve in GODs revelations incur severe retribution. GOD is Almighty, Avenger. [3:5] Nothing is hidden from GOD , on earth, or in the heaven. [3:6] He is the One who shapes you in the wombs as He wills. There is no other god besides Him; the Almighty, Most Wise. [3:7] He sent down to you this scripture, containing straightforward verses ―which constitute the essence of the scripture ― as well as multiple- meaning or allegorical verses. Those who harbor doubts in their hearts will pursue the multiple-meaning verses to create confusion, and to extricate a certain meaning. None knows the true meaning thereof except GOD and those well founded in knowledge. They say, We believe in this ―all of it comes from our Lord. Only those who possess intelligence will take heed. [3:8] Our Lord, let not our hearts waver, now that You have guided us. Shower us with Your mercy; You are the Grantor. [3:9] Our Lord, You will surely gather the people on a day that is inevitable. GOD never breaks a promise. [3:10] Those who disbelieve will never be helped by their money, nor by their children, against GOD. They will be fuel for Hell. [3:11] Like Pharaohs people and those before them, they rejected our revelations and, consequently, GOD punished them for their sins. GOD is strict in enforcing retribution. [3:12] Say to those who disbelieve, You will be defeated, then gathered in Hell; what a miserable abode!
