Sahih International
And  We  have  certainly  created  you,  [O  Mankind],  and  given  you  [human]  form.  Then We  said  to  the  angels,  "Prostrate  to  Adam";  so  they  prostrated,  except  for  Iblees.  He was  not  of  those  who  prostrated.
Sahih International
[ Allah ]  said,  "What  prevented  you  from  prostrating  when  I  commanded  you?"  [Satan] said,  "I  am  better  than  him.  You  created  me  from  fire  and  created  him  from  clay."
Sahih International
[ Allah ]  said,  "Descend  from  Paradise,  for  it  is  not  for  you  to  be  arrogant  therein.  So  get out;  indeed,  you  are  of  the  debased.
Sahih International
[Satan]  said,  "Because  You  have  put  me  in  error,  I  will  surely  sit  in  wait  for  them  on Your  straight  path.
Sahih International
Then  I  will  come  to  them  from  before  them  and  from  behind  them  and  on  their  right and  on  their  left,  and  You  will  not  find  most  of  them  grateful  [to  You]."
Sahih International
[ Allah ]  said,  "Get  out  of  Paradise,  reproached  and  expelled.  Whoever  follows  you among  them  -   I  will  surely  fill  Hell  with  you,  all  together."
Sahih International
And  "O  Adam,  dwell,  you  and  your  wife,  in  Paradise  and  eat  from  wherever  you  will but  do  not  approach  this  tree,  lest  you  be  among  the  wrongdoers."
Sahih International
But  Satan  whispered  to  them  to  make  apparent  to  them  that  which  was  concealed from  them  of  their  private  parts.  He  said,  "Your  Lord  did  not  forbid  you  this  tree  except that  you  become  angels  or  become  of  the  immortal."
Sahih International
And  he  swore  [by Allah ]  to  them,  "Indeed,  I  am  to  you  from  among  the  sincere advisors."
Sahih International
So  he  made  them  fall,  through  deception.  And  when  they  tasted  of  the  tree,  their private  parts  became  apparent  to  them,  and  they  began  to  fasten  together  over themselves  from  the  leaves  of  Paradise.  And  their  Lord  called  to  them,  "Did  I  not  forbid you  from  that  tree  and  tell  you  that  Satan  is  to  you  a  clear  enemy?"
Sahih International
They  said,  "Our  Lord,  we  have  wronged  ourselves,  and  if  You  do  not  forgive  us  and have  mercy  upon  us,  we  will  surely  be  among  the  losers."
Sahih International
[ Allah ]  said,  "Descend,  being  to  one  another  enemies.  And  for  you  on  the  earth  is  a place  of  settlement  and  enjoyment  for  a  time."
Sahih International
He  said,  "Therein  you  will  live,  and  therein  you  will  die,  and  from  it  you  will  be  brought forth."
Sahih International
O  children  of  Adam,  We  have  bestowed  upon  you  clothing  to  conceal  your  private  parts and  as  adornment.  But  the  clothing  of  righteousness  -   that  is  best.  That  is  from  the signs  of Allah that  perhaps  they  will  remember.
Sahih International
O  children  of  Adam,  let  not  Satan  tempt  you  as  he  removed  your  parents  from Paradise,  stripping  them  of  their  clothing  to  show  them  their  private  parts.  Indeed,  he sees  you,  he  and  his  tribe,  from  where  you  do  not  see  them.  Indeed,  We  have  made  the devils  allies  to  those  who  do  not  believe.
Sahih International
And  when  they  commit  an  immorality,  they  say,  "We  found  our  fathers  doing  it,  and Allah has  ordered  us  to  do  it."  Say,  "Indeed, Allah does  not  order  immorality.  Do  you say  about Allah that  which  you  do  not  know?"
Sahih International
Say,  [O  Muhammad],  "My  Lord  has  ordered  justice  and  that  you  maintain  yourselves [in  worship  of  Him]  at  every  place  [or  time]  of  prostration,  and  invoke  Him,  sincere  to Him  in  religion."  Just  as  He  originated  you,  you  will  return  [to  life]  -
Sahih International
A  group  [of  you]  He  guided,  and  a  group  deserved  [to  be  in]  error.  Indeed,  they  had taken  the  devils  as  allies  instead  of Allah while  they  thought  that  they  were  guided.
Sahih International
O  children  of  Adam,  take  your  adornment  at  every  masjid,  and  eat  and  drink,  but  be not  excessive.  Indeed,  He  likes  not  those  who  commit  excess.
Sahih International
Say,  "Who  has  forbidden  the  adornment  of Allah which  He  has  produced  for  His servants  and  the  good  [lawful]  things  of  provision?"  Say,  "They  are  for  those  who believe  during  the  worldly  life  [but]  exclusively  for  them  on  the  Day  of  Resurrection." Thus  do  We  detail  the  verses  for  a  people  who  know.
Sahih International
Say,  "My  Lord  has  only  forbidden  immoralities  -   what  is  apparent  of  them  and  what  is concealed  -   and  sin,  and  oppression  without  right,  and  that  you  associate  with Allah that  for  which  He  has  not  sent  down  authority,  and  that  you  say  about Allah that which  you  do  not  know."
Sahih International
And  for  every  nation  is  a  [specified]  term.  So  when  their  time  has  come,  they  will  not remain  behind  an  hour,  nor  will  they  precede  [it].
Sahih International
O  children  of  Adam,  if  there  come  to  you  messengers  from  among  you  relating  to  you My  verses,  then  whoever  fears Allah and  reforms  -   there  will  be  no  fear  concerning them,  nor  will  they  grieve.
Sahih International
But  the  ones  who  deny  Our  verses  and  are  arrogant  toward  them  -   those  are  the companions  of  the  Fire;  they  will  abide  therein  eternally.
Sahih International
And  who  is  more  unjust  than  one  who  invents  about Allah a  lie  or  denies  His  verses? Those  will  attain  their  portion  of  the  decree  until  when  Our  messengers  come  to  them to  take  them  in  death,  they  will  say,  "Where  are  those  you  used  to  invoke  besides Allah ?"  They  will  say,  "They  have  departed  from  us,"  and  will  bear  witness  against themselves  that  they  were  disbelievers.
Sahih International
[ Allah ]  will  say,  "Enter  among  nations  which  had  passed  on  before  you  of  jinn  and mankind  into  the  Fire."  Every  time  a  nation  enters,  it  will  curse  its  sister  until,  when they  have  all  overtaken  one  another  therein,  the  last  of  them  will  say  about  the  first  of them  "Our  Lord,  these  had  misled  us,  so  give  them  a  double  punishment  of  the  Fire. He  will  say,  "For  each  is  double,  but  you  do  not  know."
Sahih International
And  the  first  of  them  will  say  to  the  last  of  them,  "Then  you  had  not  any  favor  over  us, so  taste  the  punishment  for  what  you  used  to  earn."
Sahih International
Indeed,  those  who  deny  Our  verses  and  are  arrogant  toward  them  -   the  gates  of Heaven  will  not  be  opened  for  them,  nor  will  they  enter  Paradise  until  a  camel  enters into  the  eye  of  a  needle.  And  thus  do  We  recompense  the  criminals.
Sahih International
They  will  have  from  Hell  a  bed  and  over  them  coverings  [of  fire].  And  thus  do  We recompense  the  wrongdoers.
Sahih International
But  those  who  believed  and  did  righteous  deeds  -   We  charge  no  soul  except  [within]  its capacity.  Those  are  the  companions  of  Paradise;  they  will  abide  therein  eternally.
Sahih International
And  We  will  have  removed  whatever  is  within  their  breasts  of  resentment,  [while] flowing  beneath  them  are  rivers.  And  they  will  say,  "Praise  to Allah ,  who  has  guided  us to  this;  and  we  would  never  have  been  guided  if Allah had  not  guided  us.  Certainly  the messengers  of  our  Lord  had  come  with  the  truth."  And  they  will  be  called,  "This  is Paradise,  which  you  have  been  made  to  inherit  for  what  you  used  to  do."
Sahih International
And  the  companions  of  Paradise  will  call  out  to  the  companions  of  the  Fire,  "We  have already  found  what  our  Lord  promised  us  to  be  true.  Have  you  found  what  your  Lord promised  to  be  true?"  They  will  say,  "Yes."  Then  an  announcer  will  announce  among them,  "The  curse  of Allah shall  be  upon  the  wrongdoers."
Sahih International
Who  averted  [people]  from  the  way  of Allah and  sought  to  make  it  [seem]  deviant  while they  were,  concerning  the  Hereafter,  disbelievers.
Sahih International
And  between  them  will  be  a  partition,  and  on  [its]  elevations  are  men  who  recognize  all by  their  mark.  And  they  call  out  to  the  companions  of  Paradise,  "Peace  be  upon  you." They  have  not  [yet]  entered  it,  but  they  long  intensely.
Sahih International
And  when  their  eyes  are  turned  toward  the  companions  of  the  Fire,  they  say,  "Our Lord,  do  not  place  us  with  the  wrongdoing  people."
Sahih International
And  the  companions  of  the  Elevations  will  call  to  men  [within  Hell]  whom  they recognize  by  their  mark,  saying,  "Of  no  avail  to  you  was  your  gathering  and  [the  fact] that  you  were  arrogant."
Sahih International
[ Allah will  say],  "Are  these  the  ones  whom  you  [inhabitants  of  Hell]  swore  that Allah would  never  offer  them  mercy?  Enter  Paradise,  [O  People  of  the  Elevations].  No  fear will  there  be  concerning  you,  nor  will  you  grieve."
Sahih International
And  the  companions  of  the  Fire  will  call  to  the  companions  of  Paradise,  "Pour  upon  us some  water  or  from  whatever Allah has  provided  you."  They  will  say,  "Indeed, Allah has  forbidden  them  both  to  the  disbelievers."
Sahih International
Who  took  their  religion  as  distraction  and  amusement  and  whom  the  worldly  life deluded."  So  today  We  will  forget  them  just  as  they  forgot  the  meeting  of  this  Day  of theirs  and  for  having  rejected  Our  verses.
Sahih International
And  We  had  certainly  brought  them  a  Book  which  We  detailed  by  knowledge  -  as guidance  and  mercy  to  a  people  who  believe.
Sahih International
Do  they  await  except  its  result?  The  Day  its  result  comes  those  who  had  ignored  it before  will  say,  "The  messengers  of  our  Lord  had  come  with  the  truth,  so  are  there [now]  any  intercessors  to  intercede  for  us  or  could  we  be  sent  back  to  do  other  than  we used  to  do?"  They  will  have  lost  themselves,  and  lost  from  them  is  what  they  used  to invent.
Sahih International
Indeed,  your  Lord  is Allah ,  who  created  the  heavens  and  earth  in  six  days  and  then established  Himself  above  the  Throne.  He  covers  the  night  with  the  day,  [another night]  chasing  it  rapidly;  and  [He  created]  the  sun,  the  moon,  and  the  stars,  subjected by  His  command.  Unquestionably,  His  is  the  creation  and  the  command;  blessed  is Allah ,  Lord  of  the  worlds.
Sahih International
Call  upon  your  Lord  in  humility  and  privately;  indeed,  He  does  not  like  transgressors.
Sahih International
And  cause  not  corruption  upon  the  earth  after  its  reformation.  And  invoke  Him  in  fear and  aspiration.  Indeed,  the  mercy  of Allah is  near  to  the  doers  of  good.
Sahih International
And  it  is  He  who  sends  the  winds  as  good  tidings  before  His  mercy  until,  when  they have  carried  heavy  rainclouds,  We  drive  them  to  a  dead  land  and  We  send  down  rain therein  and  bring  forth  thereby  [some]  of  all  the  fruits.  Thus  will  We  bring  forth  the dead;  perhaps  you  may  be  reminded.
Sahih International
And  the  good  land  -  its  vegetation  emerges  by  permission  of  its  Lord;  but  that  which  is bad  -  nothing  emerges  except  sparsely,  with  difficulty.  Thus  do  We  diversify  the  signs for  a  people  who  are  grateful.
Sahih International
We  had  certainly  sent  Noah  to  his  people,  and  he  said,  "O  my  people,  worship Allah ; you  have  no  deity  other  than  Him.  Indeed,  I  fear  for  you  the  punishment  of  a tremendous  Day.
Sahih International
Said  the  eminent  among  his  people,  "Indeed,  we  see  you  in  clear  error."
Sahih International
[Noah]  said,  "O  my  people,  there  is  not  error  in  me,  but  I  am  a  messenger  from  the Lord  of  the  worlds."
Sahih International
I  convey  to  you  the  messages  of  my  Lord  and  advise  you;  and  I  know  from Allah what you  do  not  know.
Sahih International
Then  do  you  wonder  that  there  has  come  to  you  a  reminder  from  your  Lord  through  a man  from  among  you,  that  he  may  warn  you  and  that  you  may  fear Allah so  you  might receive  mercy."
Sahih International
But  they  denied  him,  so  We  saved  him  and  those  who  were  with  him  in  the  ship.  And We  drowned  those  who  denied  Our  signs.  Indeed,  they  were  a  blind  people.
Sahih International
And  to  the  'Aad  [We  sent]  their  brother  Hud.  He  said,  "O  my  people,  worship Allah ;  you have  no  deity  other  than  Him.  Then  will  you  not  fear  Him?"
Sahih International
Said  the  eminent  ones  who  disbelieved  among  his  people,  "Indeed,  we  see  you  in foolishness,  and  indeed,  we  think  you  are  of  the  liars."
Sahih International
[Hud]  said,  "O  my  people,  there  is  not  foolishness  in  me,  but  I  am  a  messenger  from the  Lord  of  the  worlds."
Sahih International
I  convey  to  you  the  messages  of  my  Lord,  and  I  am  to  you  a  trustworthy  adviser.
Sahih International
Then  do  you  wonder  that  there  has  come  to  you  a  reminder  from  your  Lord  through  a man  from  among  you,  that  he  may  warn  you?  And  remember  when  He  made  you successors  after  the  people  of  Noah  and  increased  you  in  stature  extensively.  So remember  the  favors  of Allah that  you  might  succeed.
Sahih International
They  said,  "Have  you  come  to  us  that  we  should  worship Allah alone  and  leave  what our  fathers  have  worshipped?  Then  bring  us  what  you  promise  us,  if  you  should  be  of the  truthful."
Sahih International
[Hud]  said,  "Already  have  defilement  and  anger  fallen  upon  you  from  your  Lord.  Do you  dispute  with  me  concerning  [mere]  names  you  have  named  them,  you  and  your fathers,  for  which Allah has  not  sent  down  any  authority?  Then  wait;  indeed,  I  am  with you  among  those  who  wait."
Sahih International
So  We  saved  him  and  those  with  him  by  mercy  from  Us.  And  We  eliminated  those  who denied  Our  signs,  and  they  were  not  [at  all]  believers.
Sahih International
And  to  the  Thamud  [We  sent]  their  brother  Salih.  He  said,  "O  my  people,  worship Allah ;  you  have  no  deity  other  than  Him.  There  has  come  to  you  clear  evidence  from your  Lord.  This  is  the  she-camel  of Allah [sent]  to  you  as  a  sign.  So  leave  her  to  eat within Allah 's  land  and  do  not  touch  her  with  harm,  lest  there  seize  you  a  painful punishment.
Sahih International
And  remember  when  He  made  you  successors  after  the  'Aad  and  settled  you  in  the land,  [and]  you  take  for  yourselves  palaces  from  its  plains  and  carve  from  the mountains,  homes.  Then  remember  the  favors  of Allah and  do  not  commit  abuse  on the  earth,  spreading  corruption."
Sahih International
Said  the  eminent  ones  who  were  arrogant  among  his  people  to  those  who  were oppressed  -   to  those  who  believed  among  them,  "Do  you  [actually]  know  that  Salih  is sent  from  his  Lord?"  They  said,  "Indeed  we,  in  that  with  which  he  was  sent,  are believers."
Sahih International
Said  those  who  were  arrogant,  "Indeed  we,  in  that  which  you  have  believed,  are disbelievers."
Sahih International
So  they  hamstrung  the  she-camel  and  were  insolent  toward  the  command  of  their  Lord and  said,  "O  Salih,  bring  us  what  you  promise  us,  if  you  should  be  of  the  messengers."
Sahih International
So  the  earthquake  seized  them,  and  they  became  within  their  home  [corpses]  fallen prone.
Sahih International
And  he  turned  away  from  them  and  said,  "O  my  people,  I  had  certainly  conveyed  to you  the  message  of  my  Lord  and  advised  you,  but  you  do  not  like  advisors."
Sahih International
And  [We  had  sent]  Lot  when  he  said  to  his  people,  "Do  you  commit  such  immorality  as no  one  has  preceded  you  with  from  among  the  worlds?
Sahih International
Indeed,  you  approach  men  with  desire,  instead  of  women.  Rather,  you  are  a transgressing  people."
Sahih International
But  the  answer  of  his  people  was  only  that  they  said,  "Evict  them  from  your  city! Indeed,  they  are  men  who  keep  themselves  pure."
