In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Al-Muminun 23:1

The believers have indeed prospered,

Al-Muminun 23:2

those who are humble in their prayer,

Al-Muminun 23:3

who turn away from idle talk,

Al-Muminun 23:4

who carry out zakat,

Al-Muminun 23:5

who guard their private parts,

Al-Muminun 23:6

except with their spouses or those whom their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy.

Al-Muminun 23:7

Whoever seeks beyond that, those are the transgressors.

Al-Muminun 23:8

And those who attend to their trusts and their covenant,

Al-Muminun 23:9

and who maintain their prayers,

Al-Muminun 23:10

those are the inheritors,

Al-Muminun 23:11

who inherit Paradise, remaining there.

Al-Muminun 23:14

ۚ

Then We made the drop a clinging thing, then made the clinging thing a lump of flesh, then made the lump of flesh bones, then clothed the bones with flesh. Then We brought him forth as another creation. Blessed is The God, the best of creators.

Al-Muminun 23:15

The chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the hereafter, and whom We had granted ease in worldly life, said: this is only a human like you. He eats from what you eat and drinks from what you drink.

Al-Muminun 23:35

Al-Muminun 23:36

Far away, far away is what you are promised!

Al-Muminun 23:37

There is only this worldly life of ours. We die and we live, and we will not be raised.

Al-Muminun 23:55

Do they think that, through the wealth and sons with which We supply them,

Al-Muminun 23:56

ۚ

We hasten good things for them? Rather, they do not perceive.

Al-Muminun 23:57

Those who are apprehensive out of fear of their Lord,

Al-Muminun 23:58

and who give what they give with trembling hearts, because they are returning to their Lord,

Al-Muminun 23:61

those hasten in good deeds and are foremost in them.

Al-Muminun 23:62

ۖ ۚ

We burden no soul beyond its capacity. With Us is a book that speaks in truth, and they will not be wronged.

Al-Muminun 23:63

Rather, their hearts are in engulfing heedlessness of this, and they have deeds besides this that they are doing,

Al-Muminun 23:64

until, when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, they cry out.

Al-Muminun 23:65

ۖ

Do not cry out today. You will not be helped by Us.

Al-Muminun 23:66

My signs were recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels,

Al-Muminun 23:67

arrogant concerning it, speaking idly in your night gatherings.

Al-Muminun 23:68

Have they not reflected on the word, or has there come to them what did not come to their earliest fathers?

Al-Muminun 23:69

Or have they not recognized their messenger, so that they reject him?

Al-Muminun 23:70

ۚ

Or do they say there is madness in him? Rather, he has brought them the truth, and most of them dislike the truth.

Al-Muminun 23:71

ۚ

Had the truth followed their desires, the heavens, the earth, and whoever is in them would have been corrupted. Rather, We brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder.

Al-Muminun 23:72

ۖ

Or do you ask them for payment? Your Lord's provision is better, and He is the best of providers.

Al-Muminun 23:73

You indeed call them to a straight path.

Al-Muminun 23:74

Those who do not believe in the hereafter are indeed deviating from the path.

Al-Muminun 23:75

Al-Muminun 23:76

until, when We open upon them a gate of severe punishment, they are plunged into despair.

Al-Muminun 23:78

ۚ

He is the One who brought forth for you hearing, sight, and hearts. How little you give thanks!

Al-Muminun 23:79

He is the One who brought you forth on the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

Al-Muminun 23:80

ۚ

He is the One who gives life and causes death, and to Him belongs the alternation of night and day. Will you not reason?

Al-Muminun 23:81

Rather, they have said the like of what the earlier peoples said.

Al-Muminun 23:82

They said: when we have died and become dust and bones, will we really be raised?

Al-Muminun 23:83

We and our fathers were certainly promised this before. These are only tales of the earlier peoples.

Al-Muminun 23:84

Say: to whom belong the earth and whoever is in it, if you know?

Al-Muminun 23:85

ۚ

They will say: to The God. Say: will you not remember?

Al-Muminun 23:86

Say: who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the great throne?

Al-Muminun 23:87

ۚ

They will say: to The God. Say: will you not be mindful?

Al-Muminun 23:88

Say: in whose hand is the dominion of all things, who grants protection while none can be protected against Him, if you know?

Al-Muminun 23:89

ۚ

They will say: to The God. Say: how then are you bewitched?

Al-Muminun 23:90

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and they are indeed liars.

Al-Muminun 23:91

ۚ ۚ

The God has taken no child, nor has there been any god with Him. Then each god would have taken away what he created, and some would have risen above others. Exalted is The God beyond what they describe.

Al-Muminun 23:92

Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, exalted above what they associate with Him.

Al-Muminun 23:93

Say: my Lord, if You show me what they are promised,

Al-Muminun 23:94

my Lord, do not place me among the wrongdoing people.

Al-Muminun 23:95

We are indeed able to show you what We promise them.

Al-Muminun 23:96

ۚ

Repel evil with what is better. We know best what they describe.

Al-Muminun 23:97

And say: my Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

Al-Muminun 23:98

and I seek refuge in You, my Lord, from their being present with me.

Al-Muminun 23:99

Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: my Lord, send me back,

Al-Muminun 23:100

ۚ ۚ ۖ

so that I may do righteousness in what I left behind. No! It is only a word he speaks. Behind them is a barrier until the day they are raised.

Al-Muminun 23:101

When the trumpet is blown, there will be no ties of kinship between them that day, nor will they ask one another.

Al-Muminun 23:102

Those whose scales are heavy are the ones who prosper.

Al-Muminun 23:103

Those whose scales are light are the ones who have lost themselves, remaining in Hell.

Al-Muminun 23:104

The fire scorches their faces, and there they have their teeth bared.

Al-Muminun 23:105

Were My signs not recited to you, and you used to deny them?

Al-Muminun 23:106

They said: our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

Al-Muminun 23:107

Our Lord, bring us out of it. If we return, we are indeed wrongdoers.

Al-Muminun 23:108

He said: remain despised in it, and do not speak to Me.

Al-Muminun 23:109

A group of My servants used to say: our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the best of those who show mercy.

Al-Muminun 23:110

You took them in mockery until they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

Al-Muminun 23:111

Today I have rewarded them for their patience; they are the successful ones.

Al-Muminun 23:112

He said: how long did you remain on the earth, in number of years?

Al-Muminun 23:113

They said: we remained a day or part of a day; ask those who count.

Al-Muminun 23:114

ۖ

He said: you remained only a little, if only you knew.

Al-Muminun 23:115

Did you think that We created you without purpose and that you would not be returned to Us?

Al-Muminun 23:116

ۖ

Exalted is The God, the true King. There is no god but Him, Lord of the noble throne.

Al-Muminun 23:117

ۚ

Whoever calls upon another god along with The God, for which he has no proof, his account is only with his Lord. The disbelievers will not prosper.

Al-Muminun 23:118

And say: my Lord, forgive and have mercy. You are the best of those who show mercy.
