Al-Mu'minun 23:16

[How] prosperous are the believers

Translation 1260

Those who pray humbly

Translation 1260

who shun idle talk

Translation 1260

who pay the prescribed alms

Translation 1260

who guard their chastity

Translation 1260

except with their spouses or their slaves––with these they are not to blame

Translation 1260

but anyone who seeks more than this is exceeding the limits––

Translation 1260

who are faithful to their trusts and pledges

Translation 1260

and who keep up their prayers

Translation 1260

will rightly be given

Translation 1260

Paradise as their own, there to remain

Translation 1260

We created man from an essence of clay

Translation 1260

then We placed him as a drop of fluid in a safe place

Translation 1260

then We made that drop into a clinging form, and We made that form into a lump of flesh, and We made that lump into bones, and We clothed those bones with flesh, and later We made him into other forms––glory be to God, the best of creators!––

Translation 1260

then you will die

Translation 1260

and then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be raised up again

Translation 1260

We created seven levels above you: We are never unmindful of Our creation

Translation 1260

We sent water down from the sky in due measure and lodged it in the earth––We have the power to take it all away if We so wish––

Translation 1260

with it We produced for you gardens of date palms and vines, with many fruits there for you to eat

Translation 1260

and a tree, growing out of Mount Sinai, that produces oil and seasoning for your food

Translation 1260

There is a lesson for you in livestock: We produce milk for you to drink from their bellies. And they have many other benefits: you eat them

Translation 1260

and you ride on them, as you do in ships

Translation 1260

We sent Noah to his people. He said, ‘My people, serve God, for He is your only god. Will you not heed Him?’

Translation 1260

But the leading disbelievers among his people said, ‘He is merely a mortal like you, trying to gain some superiority over you. God would have sent down angels if He had wished; besides, we never heard of anything like this from our forefathers

Translation 1260

He is just a madman, so let’s wait and see what happens to him.’
