Commentary on 2:5
ولَمّا أخْبَرَ عَنْ أفْعالِهِمُ الظّاهِرَةِ والباطِنَةِ؛ أخْبَرَ بِثَمَرَتِها فَقالَ: ﴿أُولَئِكَ﴾ أيِ المَوْصُوفُونَ بِتِلْكَ الصِّفاتِ الظّاهِراتِ، ولِما تَضَمَّنَ ما مَضى أنَّ إيمانَهم كانَ عَنْ أعْظَمِ اسْتِدْلالٍ، فَأثْمَرَ لَهُمُ التَّمَسُّكَ بِأوْثَقِ العُرى مِنَ الأعْمالِ؛ اسْتَحَقُّوا الوَصْفَ بِالِاسْتِعْلاءِ الَّذِي مَعْناهُ التَّمَكُّنُ فَقالَ: ﴿عَلى (p-٩٠)هُدًى﴾ أيْ: عَظِيمٍ، وزادَ في تَعْظِيمِهِ بِقَوْلِهِ: ﴿مِن رَبِّهِمْ﴾ أيِ المُحْسِنِ إلَيْهِمْ بِتَمْكِينِهِمْ مِنهُ ولُزُومِهِمْ لَهُ تَمْكِينَ مَن عَلا عَلى الشَّيْءِ، ولَمّا لَمْ يُلازِمِ الهُدى الفَلاحَ عَطَفَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ مُشِيرًا بِالعاطِفِ إلى مَزِيدِ تَمَكُّنِهِمْ في كُلٍّ مِنَ الوَصْفَيْنِ،
﴿وأُولَئِكَ﴾ أيِ العالُو الرُّتْبَةِ ﴿هُمُ﴾ أيْ خاصَّةً ﴿المُفْلِحُونَ﴾ أيِ الكامِلُونَ في هَذا الوَصْفِ الَّذِينَ انْفَتَحَتْ لَهم وُجُوهُ الظَّفَرِ. والتَّرْكِيبُ دالٌّ عَلى مَعْنى الشَّقِّ والفَتْحِ، وكَذا أخَواتُهُ مِنَ الفاءِ والعَيْنِ نَحْوُ فَلَجَ بِالجِيمِ وفَلَقَ وفَلَذَ وفَلى.
(p-٩١)قالَ الحَرالِّيُّ: وخَرَجَ الخِطابُ في هَذِهِ الآيَةِ مَخْرَجَ المُخاطَبَةِ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، ومَخْرَجَ إحْضارِ المُؤْمِنِينَ بِمَوْضِعِ الإشارَةِ وهي مَكانَةُ حَضْرَةٍ دُونَ مَكانَةِ حَضْرَةِ المُخاطَبِ. انْتَهى. وكَوْنُها لِلْبُعْدِ إعْلامٌ بِعُلُوِّ مَقامِهِمْ. والفَلاحُ: الفَوْزُ والظَّفَرُ بِكُلِّ مُرادٍ ونَوالُ البَقاءِ الدّائِمِ في الخَيْرِ.

2:1
الٓمٓ ١
Alif, Lām, Meem.1
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. ↩
2:3
ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ٣
Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer,1 and spend out of what We2 have provided for them,
2 translator’s notes
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.
