Salam everyone…I dont know if you guys would mind..but i decided to put few(3-5) verses of quran everyday in this post so in ENGLISH…since we all come here maybe that way we all can read quran with meaning…Lets get started.
In the name of God, most gracious, most marcifull:
[1:1]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
[1:2]
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
[1:3]
The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
[1:4]
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
[1:5]
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
[1:6]
Guide us to the Straight Way
[1:7]
The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).

Haroon,
Maybe you should take out the stuff that is in (parentheses). After all that is interpretation, and not part of the translation. You might end up misleading people about what the book really says.
Zara
[2:1]
1. Alif-Lam-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
[2:2]
2. This is the Book (the Qur'an), whereof there is
no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].
[2:3]
3. Who believe in the Ghaib and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend out of what we have provided for them *.
[2:4]
4. And who believe in (the Qur'an and the Sunnah) which has been sent down (revealed) to you (Muhammad Peace be upon him ) and in [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.] which were sent down before you and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter. (Resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell, etc.).
[2:5]
5. They are on (true) guidance from their Lord, and they are the successful.
[2:6]
6. Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.
[2:7]
7. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allah's Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.
[2:8]
8. And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day" while in fact they believe not.
[2:9]
9. They (think to) deceive Allah and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not!
[2:10]
10. In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.
[2:11]
11. And when it is said to them: "Make not
mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers."
[2:12]
12. Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not.
[2:13]
13. And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him, Al-Ansar and Al-Muhajirun) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as
the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.
[2:14]
14. And when they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are alone with their Shayatin (devils -polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking."

[2:15]
15. Allah mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly.
[2:16]
16. These are they who have purchased error for guidance, so their commerce was profitless. And they were not guided.
[2:17]
17. Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness. (So) they could not see.
[2:18]
18. They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path).
[2:19]
19. Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. But Allah
ever encompasses the disbelievers (i.e. Allah will gather them all together).
[2:20]
20. The lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.

[2:21]
21. O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).
[2:22]
22. Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know
(that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).
[2:23]
23. And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.
Is anyone reading these?

[2:24]
24. But if you do it not, and you can never do it,then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
[2:25]
25. And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds, that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). Every time they will be provided with a fruit therefrom, they will say: "This is what we were provided with before," and they will be given
things in resemblance (i.e. in the same form but different in taste) and they shall have therein Azwajun Mutahharatun (purified mates or wives),(having no menses, stools, urine, etc.) and they will abide therein forever.
[2:26]
26. Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it. And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: "What did Allah intend by this parable?" By it He misleads many, and
many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
[2:27]
27. Those who break Allah's Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allah has ordered to be joined (as regards Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to practise its legal laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin ), and do mischief on earth, it
is they who are the losers.
[2:28]
28. How can you disbelieve in Allah? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return.

[2:29]
29. He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything.
[2:30]
30. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You." He (Allah) said: "I know that which you do not know."
[2:31]
31. And He taught Adam all the names (of everything), then He showed them to the angels and said, "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."
[2:32]
32. They (angels) said: "Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise."
HARooN>>>Chorr chori se jaye...haira-pehrii se na jaye<<< :)
[2:33]
33. He said: "O Adam! Inform them of their names," and when he had informed them of their names, He said: "Did I not tell you that I know the Ghaib (unseen) in the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you have been
concealing?"
[2:34]
34. And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam.". And they prostrated except Iblis (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah).
[2:35]
35. And We said: "O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Paradise and eat both of you freely with pleasure and delight of things therein as wherever you will, but come not near this tree or you both will be of the Zalimun (wrong-doers)."
[2:36]
36. Then the Shaitan (Satan) made them slip therefrom (the Paradise), and got them out from that in which they were. We said: "Get you down, all, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time."
