قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ﴿١﴾

Successful indeed are the believers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ﴿٢﴾

Who are humble in their prayers,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ﴿٣﴾

And who shun vain conversation,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَـٰعِلُونَ﴿٤﴾

And who are payers of the poor-due;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ﴿٥﴾

And who guard their modesty -

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ﴿٦﴾

Save from their wives or the (slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy,

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ﴿٧﴾

But whoso craveth beyond that, such are transgressors -

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ﴿٨﴾

And who are shepherds of their pledge and their covenant,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ﴿٩﴾

And who pay heed to their prayers.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ﴿١٠﴾

These are the heirs

ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ﴿١١﴾

Who will inherit paradise. There they will abide.

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِن سُلَـٰلَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ﴿١٢﴾

Verily We created man from a product of wet earth;

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ نُطْفَةً فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ﴿١٣﴾

Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;

ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا ٱلنُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْمُضْغَةَ عِظَـٰمًا فَكَسَوْنَا ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَـٰهُ خَلْقًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقِينَ﴿١٤﴾

Then 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 إِنَّكُم بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ﴿١٥﴾

Then lo! after that ye surely die.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ﴿١٦﴾

Then lo! on the Day of Resurrection ye are raised (again).

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَآئِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ ٱلْخَلْقِ غَـٰفِلِينَ﴿١٧﴾

And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation.
