إِلّا عَلىٰ أَزواجِهِم أَو ما مَلَكَت أَيمانُهُم فَإِنَّهُم غَيرُ مَلومينَ

Except for their spouses and those they rightfully possess, for then they are not to be blamed.

فَمَنِ ابتَغىٰ وَراءَ ذٰلِكَ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ العادونَ

But those who seek anything beyond that are the trespassers.

وَالَّذينَ هُم لِأَماناتِهِم وَعَهدِهِم راعونَ

And those who keep to their trusts and promises.

وَالَّذينَ هُم بِشَهاداتِهِم قائِمونَ

And those who stand by their testimonies.

وَالَّذينَ هُم عَلىٰ صَلاتِهِم يُحافِظونَ

And those who are diligent in their prayers.

فَمالِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا قِبَلَكَ مُهطِعينَ

So, why do these unbelievers rush headlong towards you, from every direction?

عَنِ اليَمينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمالِ عِزينَ

From the right and from the left, in droves?

أَيَطمَعُ كُلُّ امرِئٍ مِنهُم أَن يُدخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعيمٍ

Does each one of them aspire to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?

كَلّا ۖ إِنّا خَلَقناهُم مِمّا يَعلَمونَ

No indeed! We created them from what they know.

فَلا أُقسِمُ بِرَبِّ المَشارِقِ وَالمَغارِبِ إِنّا لَقادِرونَ

By the Lord of the sunrises and the sunsets, We are Able.
