23:1   Indeed, successful (are) the believers

23:2   Those who [they] during their prayers (are) humbly submissive,

23:3   Those who [they] from the vain talk turn away,

23:4   Those who [they] of purification works (are) doers,

23:5   And those who [they] of their modesty (are) guardians

23:6   Except from their spouses or what they possess rightfully then indeed, they (are) not blameworthy.

23:7   Then whoever seeks beyond that then those [they] (are) the transgressors.

23:8   And those who [they] of their trusts and their promise(s) (are) observers

23:9   And those who [they] over their prayers they guard

23:10   Those [they] (are) the inheritors

23:11   Who will inherit the Paradise. They therein (will) abide forever.

23:12   And indeed, We created the humankind from an essence of clay.

23:13   Then We placed him (as) a semen-drop in a resting place firm.

23:14   Then We created the semen-drop (into) a clinging substance, then We created the clinging substance (into) an embryonic lump, then We created the embryonic lump, (into) bones, then We clothed the bones (with) flesh; then We produce it (as) a creation another. So blessed is Allah (the) Best (of) the Creators.

23:15   Then indeed, you after that surely (will) die.

23:16   Then indeed, you (on the) Day (of) the Resurrection, will be resurrected.

23:17   And indeed, We (have) created above you seven paths and not We are of the creation unaware.

23:18   And We send down from the sky water, in (due) measure then We cause it to settle in the earth. And indeed, We, on taking away it, surely (are) Able.

23:19   Then We produced for you by it gardens (of) date-palms and grapevines, for you, in it (are) fruits abundant and from them you eat.

23:20   And a tree (that) springs forth from Mount Sinai (which) produces oil and a relish for those who eat.

23:21   And indeed, for you in the cattle surely, (is) a lesson. We give you drink from what (is) in their bellies, and for you in them (are) benefits many and of them you eat.

23:22   And on them and on [the] ships you are carried.

23:23   And verily We sent Nuh to his people, and he said, "O my people! Worship Allah; not for you (is) any god other than Him. Then will not you fear?"

23:24   But said the chiefs (of) those who disbelieved among his people, "Not (is) this but a man like you, he wishes to assert (his) superiority over you, and if had willed Allah surely He (would have) sent down Angels. Not we heard of this from our forefathers (of) the former (people).

23:25   Not he (is) but a man in him (is) madness, so wait concerning him until a time."

23:26   He said, "My Lord! Help me because they deny me."

23:27   So We inspired to him, "That construct the ship under Our eyes, and Our inspiration, then when comes Our Command and gushes forth the oven, then put into it of every (kind) (of) mates two and your family, except those (has) preceded against whom the Word thereof. And (do) not address Me concerning those who wronged, indeed, they (are) the ones to be drowned.

23:28   And when you (have) boarded you, and whoever (is) with you [on] the ship then say, "Praise (be) to Allah, Who (has) saved us from the people - the wrongdoers."

23:29   And say, "My Lord, cause me to land (at) a landing place blessed, and You (are) the Best (of) those who cause to land.'"

23:30   Indeed, in that surely (are) Signs, and indeed, We are surely testing.

23:31   Then We produced from after them a generation another.

23:32   And We sent among them a Messenger from themselves [that] "Worship Allah; not for you (is) any god other than Him. Then will not you fear?"

23:33   And said the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and denied (the) meeting (of) the Hereafter, while We had given them luxury in the life (of) the world, "Not (is) this but a man like you. He eats of what you eat [from it], and he drinks of what you drink.

23:34   And surely if you obey a man like you, indeed, you then surely (will be) losers.

23:35   Does he promise you - that you when you are dead and you become dust and bones that you (will be) brought forth?

23:36   Far-(fetched), far-(fetched) is what you are promised!

23:37   Not it (is) but our life (of) the world, we die and we live, and not we (will be) resurrected.

23:38   Not (is) he but a man who (has) invented about Allah a lie, and not we (in) him (are) believers."

23:39   He said, "My Lord! Help me because they deny me."

23:40   He said, "After a while little surely they will become regretful."

23:41   So seized them the awful cry in truth, and We made them (as) rubbish of dead leaves. So away with the people - the wrongdoers.

23:42   Then We produced from after them a generation another.

23:43   Not can precede any nation its term, and not they (can) delay (it).

23:44   Then We sent Our Messengers (in) succession. Every time that came (to) a nation its Messenger, they denied him, so We made (them) follow - some of them others, and We made them narrations. So away with a people - not they believe.

23:45   Then We sent Musa and his brother Harun with Our Signs and an authority clear

23:46   To Firaun and his chiefs, but they behaved arrogantly and they were a people haughty.

23:47   Then they said, "Shall we believe (in) two men like ourselves while their people for us (are) slaves."

23:48   So they denied them and they became of those who were destroyed.

23:49   And verily, We gave Musa the Scripture so that they may be guided.

23:50   And We made (the) son (of) Maryam and his mother a Sign, and We sheltered them to a high ground, full (of) tranquility and water springs.

23:51   O Messengers! Eat of the good things and do righteous (deeds). Indeed, I Am of what you do All-Knower.

23:52   And indeed this, your religion, (is) religion one. And I Am your Lord, so fear Me.

23:53   But they cut off their affair (of unity) between them (into) sects, each faction in what they have rejoicing.

23:54   So leave them in their confusion until a time.

23:55   Do they think that what We extend to them [with it] of wealth and children

23:56   We hasten to them in the good? Nay, not they perceive.

23:57   Indeed, those who [they] from (the) fear (of) their Lord (are) cautious.

23:58   And those [they] in (the) Signs (of) their Lord believe

23:59   And those [they] with their Lord (do) not associate partners.

23:60   And those who give what they give while their hearts (are) fearful, because they to their Lord (will) return

23:61   (It is) those who hasten in the good (deeds) and they in them (are) foremost.

23:62   And not We burden any soul except (to) its capacity, and with Us (is) a Record (which) speaks with the truth; and they (will) not be wronged.

23:63   Nay, their hearts (are) in confusion over this, and for them (are) deeds from besides that, they for it (are) doers

23:64   Until when We seize their affluent ones with the punishment, behold! They cry for help.

23:65   "(Do) not cry for help today. Indeed, you from Us not will be helped.

23:66   Verily, were My Verses recited to you, but you used (to) on your heels turn back

23:67   (Being) arrogant about it, conversing by night, speaking evil."

23:68   Then, do not they ponder the Word or has come to them what not (had) come (to) their forefathers (of) the former (people)

23:69   Or (do) not they recognize their Messenger, so they him (are) rejecting?

23:70   Or they say, "In him (is) madness?" Nay, he brought them the truth, but most of them to the truth, (are) averse.

23:71   But if (had) followed the truth their desires, surely (would) have been corrupted the heavens and the earth and whoever (is) therein. Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they, from their reminder, (are) turning away.

23:72   Or you ask them (for) a payment? But the payment (of) your Lord (is) best, and He (is) the Best (of) the Providers.

23:73   And indeed, you certainly call them to (the) Path Straight.

23:74   And indeed, those who (do) not believe in the Hereafter from the path surely (are) deviating.

23:75   And if We had mercy on them and We removed what (was) on them of (the) hardship, surely they would persist in their transgression wandering blindly.

23:76   And verily We seized them with the punishment but not they submit to their Lord and not they supplicate humbly

23:77   Until when We opened for them a gate of a punishment severe, behold! They in it (will be in) despair.

23:78   And He (is) the One Who produced for you the hearing and the sight and the feeling; little (is) what you give thanks.

23:79   And He (is) the One Who multiplied you in the earth and to Him you will be gathered.

23:80   And He (is) the One Who gives life and causes death and for Him (is the) alternation (of) the night and the day. Then will not you reason?

23:81   Nay, they say (the) like (of) what said the former (people).

23:82   They said, "What! When we are dead and become dust and bones, would we surely be resurrected?

23:83   Verily, we have been promised [we] and our forefathers this from before; not (is) this but (the) tales (of) the former (people)."

23:84   Say, "To whom (belongs) the earth and whoever (is) in it, if you know?"

23:85   They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then will not you remember?"

23:86   Say, "Who (is the) Lord (of) the heavens seven and (the) Lord (of) the Throne the Great?"

23:87   They will say, "Allah." Say, "Then will not you fear (Him)?"

23:88   Say, Who is (it) in Whose Hand(s) (is the) dominion (of) all things, and He protects and no (one) (can) be protected against Him, If you know?"

23:89   They will say, "Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

23:90   Nay, We (have) brought them the truth, but indeed, they surely, (are) liars.

23:91   Not has taken Allah any son, and not is with Him any god. Then surely (would have) taken away each god what he created, and surely would have overpowered, some of them [on] others. Glory be (to) Allah above what they attribute!

23:92   Knower (of) the unseen and the witnessed, exalted is He above what they associate.

23:93   Say, "My Lord! If You should show me what they are promised

23:94   My Lord, then (do) not place me among the people - the wrongdoers."

23:95   And indeed We on that We show you what We have promised them surely able.

23:96   Repel by that which (is) best - the evil. We know best of what they attribute.

23:97   And say, "My Lord! I seek refuge in You from (the) suggestions (of) the evil ones,

23:98   And I seek refuge in You, My Lord! Lest they be present with me."

23:99   Until when comes (to) one of them the death he says, "My Lord! Send me back

23:100   That I may do righteous (deeds) in what I left behind." No! Indeed, it (is) a word he speaks it, and from and before them (is) a barrier till (the) Day they are resurrected.

23:101   So when is blown in the trumpet then not (there) will be relationship among them that Day, and not will they ask each other.

23:102   Then (the one) whose (are) heavy his scales, then those - they (are) the successful.

23:103   But (the one) whose (are) light his scales, then those they [who] have lost their souls, in Hell they (will) abide forever.

23:104   Will burn their faces the Fire, and they in it (will) grin with displaced lips.

23:105   "Not was My Verses recited to you, and you used (to) them deny?"

23:106   They (will) say, "Our Lord! Overcame [on] us our wretchedness, and we were a people astray.

23:107   Our Lord! Bring us out from it, then if we return then indeed, we (would be) wrongdoers."

23:108   He (will) say, "Remain despised in it and (do) not speak to Me."

23:109   Indeed, (there) was a party of My slaves (who) said, "Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us and have mercy on us, and You (are) best (of) those who show mercy."

23:110   But you took them (in) mockery until they made you forget My remembrance, and you used (to) at them laugh.

23:111   Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day because they were patient, indeed, they [they] (are) the successful ones.

23:112   He will say, "How long did you remain in the earth, (in) number (of) years?"

23:113   They will say, "We remained a day or a part (of) a day; but ask those who keep count."

23:114   He will say, "Not you stayed but a little, if only you [you] knew.

23:115   Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that you to Us not will be returned?"

23:116   So exalted is Allah, the King, the Truth. (There is) no god except Him, (the) Lord (of) the Throne Honorable.

23:117   And whoever invokes with Allah god other, no proof for him in it. Then only his account (is) with his Lord. Indeed, [he] not will succeed the disbelievers.

23:118   And say, "My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, and You (are the) Best (of) those who show mercy."
