SURAH LIST 58 - 114


Chapters 58 - 114


The first Ruku of Surah Baqarah can be found at the end of this document. It has been transliterated from Arabic for your convenience and colour coded in the same vain as the preceding  blog. View this blog for an explanation of how the colour coding works. Only surahs 58-114 listed here so should you want to access surahs 1-57, you have to go to the previous blog.  Anyway, these surahs are  shorter than the those in the 1-57 list as  can be seen by the  amount of verses each Surah have.

Surah Baqarah (Surah 2)



Bismi Allahialr rahmanialr raheemi
(Bismil lahir rahmaanir raheem)

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

1. Alif-lam-meem
(Alif laam meem)

[001] Alif-Lâm-Mîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings.]

2. Thalika alkitabu la rayba feehi hudan lilmuttaqeena
(Thaalikal kitaabu laa rayba feehi, hudalil-mutaqeen)

[002] This is the Book (the Qur'ân), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqûn [the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism who fear Allâh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allâh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].


3. Allatheena yu’minoona bi alghaybi wa-yuqeemoona alssalata wamimma razaqnahum yunfiqoona
(Alla theena yu’minoona bil ghaybi wa yuqqemoonas salaata wa mimma razaq-nahum yunfiqoon)

[003] Who believe in the Ghaib and perform As-Salât (the prayers), and spend out of what We have provided for them [i.e. give Zakât (obligatory charity), spend on themselves, their parents, their children, their wives, and also give charity to the poor and also in Allâh's Cause - Jihâd].

4. Waallatheena yu’minoona bima onzila ilayka wama onzila min qablika wabialakhirati hum yooqinoona
(Wal latheen yu’minoona bima unzila ilayk wama unzila min qablika wabil akhirati hum yooqinoon)

[004] And who believe in that (the Qur'ân and the Sunnah) which has been sent down (revealed) to you (Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) and in that which was sent down before you [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injîl (Gospel)] and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter. (Resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell).

5. Ola-ika 3ala hudan min rabbihim waola-ika humu almuflihoona
(Ulaa ika 3ala hudami rabbihim wa ulaa-ika humul muflihoon)

[005] They are on (true) guidance from their Lord, and they are the successful.

6. Inna allatheena kafaroo sawaon 3alayhim a anthartahum am lam tunthirhum la yu’minoona
(Innal latheena kafaroo sawa-un 3alayhim a anthar tahum am-lam tun-thirhum la yu'minoon)

[006] Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.

7. Khatama Allahu 3ala quloobihim wa3ala sam3ihim wa3ala absarihim ghishawatun walahum 3athabun 3atheemun
(Khatamal lahu 3ala quloobi-him wa 3ala sam3i him wa 3ala absarihim ghishawa walahum 3athabun 3atheem)

[007] Allâh has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allâh's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.

COLOUR CODING

The transliterated numbered text in Surat-ul Fatia below contains light blue characters with a strikethrough line, to indicate that they should not be pronounced. The remaining black text is what should be read. 

The darker blue bracketed text below, is an example of how it needs to be pronounced. An attempt should be made to elide the words, so that it forms continuous speech. Looking at line 1, -blue letters between brackets -, Bismil ends with an L and lahir stars with an L

This places the tongue in the correct position to joint the two words together as one unit of speech. Likewise lahir ends with an R and rahmaanir starts with an R, once again placing the tongue in the right position join the two words together as one unit of speech. 

Then again rahmaanir ends with an R and raheem starts with and R. If these four words in line 1 can be said as continuous speech, then it is said correctly and known as tajweed. The L's and R's are the consequence of Shadda, which will be explained in later blogs.

NB! The letter R is a trilling R, like in the words, warring, worry, rugby, marrow, orange and rough and never the R in words like far, car, careless and bear. You will also notice a number 3 in line 2, line 5 and line 7 in place of a letter. Please refer to the "legend" (blog 4) for its usage and clarification for the letter H in Rahmaan and Raheem.


In Line  4 and line 7 you will encounter  two words in each ending with the letter  D and the following word starting with a D. As previously explained, it placed the tongue in the correct position which theoretically makes Arabic easy to pronounce because the tongue twisting and vocal gymnastics have been simplified by its syntax that is relatively easy to master in a very short length of time.
