قالا رَبَّنا ظَلَمنا أَنفُسَنا وَإِن لَم تَغفِر لَنا وَتَرحَمنا لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الخاسِرينَ
They responded, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You don’t forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be among the losers.”
قالَ اهبِطوا بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُم فِي الأَرضِ مُستَقَرٌّ وَمَتاعٌ إِلىٰ حينٍ
He said, “Descend, with enmity among some of you. For you will have on the earth a settlement and enjoyment until a time.”
قالَ فيها تَحيَونَ وَفيها تَموتونَ وَمِنها تُخرَجونَ
He added, “There, you will live; there, you will die, and from there, you will be resurrected.”
يا بَني آدَمَ قَد أَنزَلنا عَلَيكُم لِباسًا يُواري سَوآتِكُم وَريشًا ۖ وَلِباسُ التَّقوىٰ ذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ مِن آياتِ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُم يَذَّكَّرونَ
O Children of Adam, We provided you with clothing to cover your bodies and for fineries. But the clothing of piety—that is the best. These are among God’s verses, so they may take heed.
يا بَني آدَمَ لا يَفتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيطانُ كَما أَخرَجَ أَبَوَيكُم مِنَ الجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنهُما لِباسَهُما لِيُرِيَهُما سَوآتِهِما ۗ إِنَّهُ يَراكُم هُوَ وَقَبيلُهُ مِن حَيثُ لا تَرَونَهُم ۗ إِنّا جَعَلنَا الشَّياطينَ أَولِياءَ لِلَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ
O Children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you, as he expelled your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their nudity. He and his type see you from where you don’t see them. We made the devils allies to those who don’t believe.
وَإِذا فَعَلوا فاحِشَةً قالوا وَجَدنا عَلَيها آباءَنا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنا بِها ۗ قُل إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَأمُرُ بِالفَحشاءِ ۖ أَتَقولونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ
When they commit an immoral act, they say, “We found our ancestors doing it, and God commanded us to do it.” Say, “God never commands immorality. Do you say about God what you don’t know?”
قُل أَمَرَ رَبّي بِالقِسطِ ۖ وَأَقيموا وُجوهَكُم عِندَ كُلِّ مَسجِدٍ وَادعوهُ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ ۚ كَما بَدَأَكُم تَعودونَ
Say, “My Lord commands justice. Set your faces towards every place of worship, and pray to Him, devoting your faith to Him alone. Just as He originated you, so will you return.”
فَريقًا هَدىٰ وَفَريقًا حَقَّ عَلَيهِمُ الضَّلالَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّياطينَ أَولِياءَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَيَحسَبونَ أَنَّهُم مُهتَدونَ
Some He has guided, and some deserved to lose their way. They’ve taken the devils as allies instead of God, thinking they are guided.
يا بَني آدَمَ خُذوا زينَتَكُم عِندَ كُلِّ مَسجِدٍ وَكُلوا وَاشرَبوا وَلا تُسرِفوا ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ المُسرِفينَ
O Children of Adam, take your adornment at every place of prayer. Eat and drink, but don’t commit excesses, for He doesn’t like the extravagant.
قُل مَن حَرَّمَ زينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتي أَخرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَالطَّيِّباتِ مِنَ الرِّزقِ ۚ قُل هِيَ لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا خالِصَةً يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ
Say, “Who prohibited the beautiful things that God produced for His beings, and the wholesome sustenance?” Say, “They are for those who believe during their life in this world, exclusively for them on Resurrection Day.” Thus, We detail the verses for people who know.
قُل إِنَّما حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الفَواحِشَ ما ظَهَرَ مِنها وَما بَطَنَ وَالإِثمَ وَالبَغيَ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَأَن تُشرِكوا بِاللَّهِ ما لَم يُنَزِّل بِهِ سُلطانًا وَأَن تَقولوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ
Say, “My Lord forbids shameless acts, whether open or hidden, and sin, and oppression, and associating anything with God without His permission, and speaking about God without knowledge.”
