The Believers - سورة المؤمنون

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم











Certainly will the believers have succeeded:






They who are during their prayer humbly submissive






And they who turn away from ill speech






And they who are observant of zakah






And they who guard their private parts






Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -






But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -






And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive






And they who carefully maintain their prayers -






Those are the inheritors






Who will inherit al-Firdaus. They will abide therein eternally.






And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.






Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging.






Then
We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made
the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump,
bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed
him into another creation. So blessed is Allah , the best of
creators.






Then indeed, after that you are to die.






Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.






And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.






And
We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount
and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take
it away.






And
We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and
grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which
you eat.






And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat.






And
indeed, for you in livestock is a lesson. We give you drink
from that which is in their bellies, and for you in them
are numerous benefits, and from them you eat.






And upon them and on ships you are carried.






And
We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O
my people, worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him;
then will you not fear Him?"






But
the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said,
"This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take
precedence over you; and if Allah had willed [to send a
messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard
of this among our forefathers.






He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."






[Noah] said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."






So
We inspired to him, "Construct the ship under Our
observation, and Our inspiration, and when Our command comes and
the oven overflows, put into the ship from each [creature]
two mates and your family, except those for whom the decree
[of destruction] has proceeded. And do not address Me concerning
those who have wronged; indeed, they are to be drowned.






And
when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you,
then say, 'Praise to Allah who has saved us form the wrongdoing
people.'






And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].' "






Indeed in that are signs, and indeed, We are ever testing [Our servants].






Then We produced after them a generation of others.






And
We sent among them a messenger from themselves, [saying],
"Worship Allah ; you have no deity other than Him; then will
you not fear Him?"






And the eminent among his
people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter
while We had given them luxury in the worldly life said,
"This is not but a man like yourselves. He eats of that from
which you eat and drinks of what you drink.






And if you should obey a man like yourselves, indeed, you would then be losers.






Does
he promise you that when you have died and become dust and
bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

How far, how far, is that which you are promised.






Life is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.






He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allah , and we will not believe him."






He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."






[ Allah ] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."






So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.






Then We produced after them other generations.






No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].






Then
We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came
to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them
follow one another [to destruction], and We made them
narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.






Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority






To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.







They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"






So they denied them and were of those destroyed.






And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.






And
We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and
sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and
flowing water.






[
Allah said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work
righteousness. Indeed, I, of what you do, am Knowing.






And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."






But the people divided their religion among them into sects - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.






So leave them in their confusion for a time.






Do they think that what We extend to them of wealth and children






Is [because] We hasten for them good things? Rather, they do not perceive.






Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord






And they who believe in the signs of their Lord






And they who do not associate anything with their Lord






And
they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful
because they will be returning to their Lord -
