Commentary on 2:5
{ أُولَئِكَ } أي: الموصوفون بتلك الصفات الحميدة { عَلَى هُدًى مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ } أي: على هدى عظيم, لأن التنكير للتعظيم، وأي هداية أعظم من تلك الصفات المذكورة المتضمنة للعقيدة الصحيحة والأعمال المستقيمة، وهل الهداية [الحقيقية] إلا هدايتهم، وما سواها [مما خالفها]، فهو ضلالة. وأتى بـ \" على \" في هذا الموضع, الدالة على الاستعلاء, وفي الضلالة يأتي بـ \" في \" كما في قوله: { وَإِنَّا أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَى هُدًى أَوْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ } لأن صاحب الهدى مستعل بالهدى, مرتفع به, وصاحب الضلال منغمس فيه محتقر. ثم قال: { وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ } والفلاح [هو] الفوز بالمطلوب والنجاة من المرهوب، حصر الفلاح فيهم؛ لأنه لا سبيل إلى الفلاح إلا بسلوك سبيلهم, وما عدا تلك السبيل, فهي سبل الشقاء والهلاك والخسار التي تفضي بسالكها إلى الهلاك.

- 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. ↩

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.

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].

Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.
