1 Successful indeed are the believers, |
2 Who are humble in their prayers, |
3 And who shun what is vain, |
4 And who act for the sake of purity, |
5 And who restrain their sexual passions— |
6 Except in the presence of their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for such surely are not blameable, |
7 But whoever seeks to go beyond that, such are transgressors — |
8 And those who are keepers of their trusts and their covenant, |
9 And those who keep a guard on their prayers. |
10 These are the heirs, |
11 Who inherit Paradise. Therein they will abide. |
12 And certainly We create man of an extract of clay, |
13 Then We make him a small life-germ in a firm resting-place, |
14 Then We make the life-germ a clot, then We make the clot a lump of flesh, then We make (in) the lump of flesh bones, then We clothe the bones with flesh, then We cause it to grow into another creation. So blessed be Allāh, the Best of creators! |
15 Then after that you certainly die. |
16 Then on the day of Resurrection you will surely be raised up. |
17 And indeed We have made above you seven ways — and never are We heedless of creation. |
18 And We send down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We cause it to settle in the earth, and We are indeed able to carry it away. |
