(31:1) Alif, Lam, Meem. (31:2) These are verses of the wise Book, (31:3) As guidance and mercy for the doers of good (31:4) Who establish prayer and give zakah, and they, of the Hereafter, are certain [in faith]. (31:5) Those are on [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful. (31:6) And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead [others] from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment. (31:7) And when our verses are recited to him, he turns away arrogantly as if he had not heard them, as if there was in his ears deafness. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.
