Al-Baqarah 3

Ayah 3 of 286 · Medinan

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,

Translation: Saheeh International (English)

1 At its proper times and according to its specified conditions.

2 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.

Tafsir

They believe in the revelation that Allah sent down to you, O Prophet, and in that which He revealed to all the other prophets before you (peace be upon them), without distinction; and they have a definite belief in the Afterlife, with its rewards and punishments.
