قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَۙ ١
23:1Successful indeed are the believers
الَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ فِىۡ صَلَاتِهِمۡ خَاشِعُوۡنَۙ ٢
23:2Who are humble in their prayers,
وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عَنِ اللَّغۡوِ مُعۡرِضُوۡنَۙ ٣
23:3And who shun vain conversation,
وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ لِلزَّكٰوةِ فَاعِلُوۡنَۙ ٤
23:4And who are payers of the poor-due;
وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوۡجِهِمۡ حٰفِظُوۡنَۙ ٥
23:5And who guard their modesty -
اِلَّا عَلٰٓى اَزۡوَاجِهِمۡ اَوۡ مَا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُهُمۡ فَاِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُوۡمِيۡنَۚ ٦
23:6Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy,
فَمَنِ ابۡتَغٰى وَرَآءَ ذٰ لِكَ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡعٰدُوۡنَۚ ٧
23:7But whoso craveth beyond that, such are transgressors -
وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَاعُوۡنَۙ ٨
23:8And who are keepers of their pledge and their covenant,
وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عَلٰى صَلَوٰتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُوۡنَۘ ٩
23:9And who pay heed to their prayers.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡوَارِثُوۡنَۙ ١٠
23:10These are the heirs
الَّذِيۡنَ يَرِثُوۡنَ الۡفِرۡدَوۡسَؕ هُمۡ فِيۡهَا خٰلِدُوۡنَ ١١
23:11Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide.
وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ سُلٰلَةٍ مِّنۡ طِيۡنٍۚ ١٢
23:12Verily We created man from a product of wet earth;
ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنٰهُ نُطۡفَةً فِىۡ قَرَارٍ مَّكِيۡنٍ ١٣
23:13Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;
ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا النُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقۡنَا الۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةً فَخَلَقۡنَا الۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظٰمًا فَكَسَوۡنَا الۡعِظٰمَ لَحۡمًا ثُمَّ اَنۡشَاۡنٰهُ خَلۡقًا اٰخَرَؕ فَتَبٰـرَكَ اللّٰهُ اَحۡسَنُ الۡخٰلِقِيۡنَؕ ١٤
23:14Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!
ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمۡ بَعۡدَ ذٰ لِكَ لَمَيِّتُوۡنَؕ ١٥
23:15Then lo! after that ye surely die.
ثُمَّ اِنَّكُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ تُبۡعَثُوۡنَ ١٦
23:16Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again).
وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا فَوۡقَكُمۡ سَبۡعَ طَرَآٮِٕقَۖ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الۡخَـلۡقِ غٰفِلِيۡنَ ١٧
23:17And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.
