Based on Tafsir Ibn Kathir for Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 2:

The phrase "ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ" (This is the Book about which there is no doubt) means the Qur'an is undeniably revealed from Allah. Ibn Kathir notes a scholarly consensus on this interpretation, citing numerous Companions and Tabi'in like Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, and Qatadah. The Arabic term "رَيْبَ" (rayb) directly translates to "doubt." Some reciters pause after "لاَ رَيْبَ" (no doubt), while others pause after "لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ" (in which there is no doubt), with the latter being considered better as it allows "هُدًى" (guidance) to function as an attribute of the Qur'an.

The second part, "هُدًۭى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ" (a guidance for those conscious of Allah), indicates that the Qur'an's guidance is specifically beneficial to those with *Taqwa*. *Taqwa* (piety/consciousness of Allah) is defined as fearing Allah's punishment, avoiding Shirk, and obeying His commands, as stated by Ibn `Abbas and Qatadah. Ibn Kathir differentiates between two types of *Hidayah* (guidance): one that creates faith in the heart (solely from Allah, e.g., 28:56) and another that involves explaining the truth and leading to it (which prophets provide, e.g., 42:52). The guidance in this verse refers to the latter, which is only effectively received by the *Muttaqin*.
