I am trying to understand verses 1-4 of chapter 2. Summarizing as I understand it. This book is guidance for Muttaqin who:
1. Believe in the unseen
2. Establish prayers
3. Spend for Allah
4. Believe in whats sent to Prophet and what was sent before
5. Believe in the hereafter
These 5 conditions are not present in any non-muslim. You wouldn’t see a non-muslim establishing prayer or paying Zakat. Based on the 5 conditions given above what I understand is that this book has only guidance for muslims and no guidance for non-muslims. However at other places in the Quran it says its a guidance for all humanity. How do you reconcile the two verses?
