Commentary on 2:1
Alif Lām Mīm. Ini merupakan huruf-huruf yang digunakan sebagai pembuka beberapa surah Al-Qur`ān. Ini adalah huruf hijaiah yang tidak mempunyai makna tersendiri karena dituliskan secara terpisah-pisah, seperti: alif, ba, ta dan seterusnya. Dalam huruf-huruf ini terdapat hikmah dan tujuan, karena tidak ada sesuatu pun di dalam Al-Qur`ān yang tidak memiliki hikmah. Di antara hikmahnya yang paling menonjol ialah untuk mengisyaratkan tantangan Allah dengan Al-Qur`ān yang terdiri dari huruf-huruf yang membentuk kata-kata yang mereka ketahui dan mereka gunakan untuk berbicara. Oleh karena itu, pada umumnya huruf-huruf hijaiah tersebut diikuti dengan penyebutan tentang Al-Qur`ān Al-Karīm, seperti yang ada di dalam surah ini.

ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ٣

At its proper times and according to its specified conditions.
[10] It is to be noted that the reference of Allāh (Subḥānahu wa taʿālā) to Himself as "We" in many Qur’ānic verses is necessarily understood in the Arabic language to denote grandeur and power, as opposed to the more intimate singular form "I" used in specific instances.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ وَبِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُونَ ٤
And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
2:5
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدٗى مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ٥
Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.
