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.

Commentary on 2:3
﴿ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ﴾ فيه قولان: يؤمنون بالأمور المغيبات كالآخرة وغيرها، فالغيب على هذا بمعنى الغائب إما تسمية بالمصدر كعدل، وإما تخفيفاً في فعيل: كمَيْت، والآخر: يؤمنون في حال غيبهم، أي باطناً وظاهراً، وبالغيب: على القول الأوّل: يتعلق بيؤمنون، وعلى الثاني: في موضع الحال، ويجوز في الذين: أن يكون خفضاً على النعت، أو نصباً على إضمار فعل، أو رفعاً على أنه خبر مبتدأ ﴿وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلٰوةَ﴾ إقامتها: علمها من قولك: قامت السوق، وشبه ذلك، والكمال: المحافظة عليها في أوقاتها، بالإخلاص لله في فعلها، وتوفية شروطها، وأركانها وفضائلها، وسننها، وحضور القلب الخشوع فيها، وملازمة الجماعة في الفرائض والإكثار من النوافل. ﴿وَممَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ﴾ فيه ثلاثة أقوال: الزكاة لاقترانها مع الصلاة، والثاني: أنه التطوّع، والثالث: العموم. وهو الأرجح: لأنه لا دليل على التخصيص.

1 translator’s note
- These are among the fourteen opening letters which occur in various combinations at the beginning of twenty-nine sūrahs in the Qur’ān. Although there has been much speculation as to their meaning, it was not, in fact, revealed by Allāh to anyone and is known only to Him. ↩
2:2
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَۛ فِيهِۛ هُدٗى لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٢
This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allāh1 -
1 translator’s note
- Literally, "those who have taqwā," i.e., who have piety, righteousness, fear and love of Allāh, and who take great care to avoid His displeasure. ↩

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.
