Commentary on 2:1
{艾列弗，俩目，米目}如果这些字母单独出现（如：艾列弗、巴稳、塔稳.....等）都只是些不具有实际意义的字母而已。《古兰经》中部分章节以阿拉伯语字母的缩写开始，然而，这些字母出现在《古兰经》章节中，却寓意云奥。《古兰经》中所述的每件事都富含哲理。以单独字母开始的《古兰经》章节最重要的哲理就体现在，以世人熟悉并经常使用的字母所组成的章节作为挑战，而人们却不解其意，从而引发人们的求知欲去进一步深思、探究《古兰经》，就如本章节所述。

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.

2:4
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.
