Al-Mumenoon
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ1
[How] prosperous are the believers
الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ2
Those who pray humbly
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ3
who shun idle talk
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلُونَ4
who pay the prescribed alms
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ5
who guard their chastity
إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ6
except with their spouses or their slaves––with these they are not to blame
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ7
but anyone who seeks more than this is exceeding the limits––
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ8
who are faithful to their trusts and pledges
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ9
and who keep up their prayers
أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ10
will rightly be given
الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ11
Paradise as their own, there to remain
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ12
We created man from an essence of clay
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَكِينٍ13
then We placed him as a drop of fluid in a safe place
ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنْشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ14
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!––
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ15
then you will die
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ16
and then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be raised up again
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَائِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غَافِلِينَ17
We created seven levels above you: We are never unmindful of Our creation
