[How] prosperous are the believers!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those who pray humbly,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

who shun idle talk,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

who pay the prescribed alms,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

who guard their chastity

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

except with their spouses or their slaves––with these they are not to blame,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but anyone who seeks more than this is exceeding the limits––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

who are faithful to their trusts and pledges

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and who keep up their prayers,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

will rightly be given

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Paradise as their own, there to remain.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We created man from an essence of clay,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

then We placed him as a drop of fluid in a safe place,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

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!––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

then you will die

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be raised up again.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We created seven levels above you: We are never unmindful of Our creation.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We sent water down from the sky in due measure and lodged it in the earth––We have the power to take it all away if We so wish––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

with it We produced for you gardens of date palms and vines, with many fruits there for you to eat,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and a tree, growing out of Mount Sinai, that produces oil and seasoning for your food.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There is a lesson for you in livestock: We produce milk for you to drink from their bellies. And they have many other benefits: you eat them

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and you ride on them, as you do in ships.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We sent Noah to his people. He said, ‘My people, serve God, for He is your only god. Will you not heed Him?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But the leading disbelievers among his people said, ‘He is merely a mortal like you, trying to gain some superiority over you. God would have sent down angels if He had wished; besides, we never heard of anything like this from our forefathers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He is just a madman, so let’s wait and see what happens to him.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Noah said, ‘My Lord, help me! They call me a liar,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and so We revealed to him: ‘Build the Ark under Our watchful eye and according to Our revelation. When Our command comes and water gushes up out of the earth,take pairs of every species on board, and your family, except for those on whom the sentence has already been passed- do not plead with me for the evildoers: they will be drowned-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and when you and your companions are settled on the Ark, say, “Praise be to God, who delivered us from the wicked people,”

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and say, “My Lord, let me land with Your blessing: it is You who provide the best landings”.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There are signs in all this: We have always put [people] to the test.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Then We raised another generation after them,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and sent one of their own as a messenger: ‘Serve God, for He is your only god. Will you not heed Him?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But the leading disbelievers among his people, who denied the Meeting in the Hereafter, to whom We had granted ease and plenty in this life, said, ‘He is just a mortal like you- he eats what you eat and drinks what you drink-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and you will really be losers if you obey a mortal like yourselves.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

How can he promise you that after you die and become dust and bones you will be brought out alive?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
