In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.

 


1-30 | 31-60 | 61-90 | 91-118

1. The Believers must (eventually) win through--
2. Those who humble themselves in their prayers;
3. Who avoid vain talk;
4. Who are active in deeds of charity;
5. Who abstain from sex,
6. Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess--for (in their case) they are free from blame,
7. But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors--
8. Those who faithfully observe their trust and their covenants;
9. And who (strictly) guard their prayers
10. Those will be the heirs,
11. Who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein (forever).
12. Human We did create from a quintessence (of clay);
13. Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed;
14. Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (fetus) lump; then We made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed out of it another creature: so blessed be Allah, the Best to create!
15. After that, at length you will die.
16. Again, on the Day of Judgment, will you be raised up.
17. And We have made, above you, seven tracts; and We are never unmindful of (Our) Creation.
18. And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).
19. With it We grow for you gardens of date-palms and vines: in them have you abundant fruits: and of them you eat (and have enjoyment)--
20. Also a tree springing out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil, and relish for those who use it for food.
21. And in cattle (too) you have an instructive example: from within their bodies We produce (milk) for you to drink; there are, in them, (besides), numerous (other) benefits for you; and of their (meat) you eat;
22. And on them, as well as in ships, you ride.
23. (Further, We sent a long line of prophets for your instruction.) We sent Noah to his people: he said, "O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other god but Him: will you not fear (Him)?"
24. The chiefs of the Unbelievers among his people said: "He is no more than a human like yourselves: his wish is to assert his superiority over you: if Allah had wished (to send messengers), He could have sent down angels: never did we hear such a thing (as he says), among our ancestors of old."
25. (And some said:) "He is only a human possessed: wait (and have patience) with him for a time."
26. (Noah) said: "O my Lord! Help me; for that they accuse me of falsehood!"
27. So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take you on board pairs of every species, male and female, and your family--except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth; and address Me not in favor of the wrongdoers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood).
28. And when you have embarked on the Ark--you and those with you--say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who do wrong."
29. And say: "O my Lord! Enable me to disembark with Your blessing: for You are the Best to enable (us) to disembark."
30. Verily in this there are Signs (for men to understand); (thus) do We try (men).
