2
[This is] a Book that has been sent down to you—so let there be no disquiet in your heart on its account that you may warn thereby—and as an admonition for the faithful.
3
Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow any masters besides Him. Little is the admonition that you take!
4
How many a town We have destroyed! Our punishment came to it at night, or while they were taking a midday nap.
5
Then their cry, when Our punishment overtook them, was only that they said, ‘We have indeed been wrongdoers!’
6
We will surely question those to whom the apostles were sent, and We will surely question the apostles.
7
Then We will surely recount to them with knowledge, for We had not been absent.
8
The weighing [of deeds] on that Day is a truth. As for those whose deeds weigh heavy in the scales—it is they who are the felicitous.
9
As for those whose deeds weigh light in the scales—it is they who have ruined their souls, because they used to wrong Our signs.
10
Certainly We have established you on the earth, and made in it [various] means of livelihood for you. Little do you thank.
11
Certainly We created you, then We formed you, then We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate before Adam.’ So they [all] prostrated, but not Iblis: he was not among those who prostrated.
12
Said He, ‘What prevented you from prostrating, when I commanded you? ’‘I am better than him,’ he said. ‘You created me from fire and You created him from clay.’
13
‘Get down from it!’ He said. ‘It is not for you to be arrogant therein. Begone! You are indeed among the degraded ones.’
14
He said, ‘Respite me till the day they will be resurrected.’
15
Said He, ‘You are indeed among the reprieved.’
16
‘As You have consigned me to perversity,’ he said, ‘I will surely lie in wait for them on Your straight path.
17
Then I will come at them from their front and from their rear, and from their right and their left, and You will not find most of them to be grateful.’
18
Said He, ‘Begone hence, blameful and banished! Whoever of them follows you, I will surely fill hell with you all.’
19
[Then He said to Adam,] ‘O Adam, dwell with your mate in paradise, and eat thereof whence you wish; but do not approach this tree, lest you should be among the wrongdoers.’
20
Then Satan tempted them, to expose to them what was hidden from them of their nakedness, and he said, ‘Your Lord has only forbidden you from this tree lest you should become angels, or lest you become immortal.’
21
And he swore to them, ‘I am indeed your well-wisher.’
22
Thus he brought about their fall by deception. So when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness became exposed to them, and they began to stitch over themselves with the leaves of paradise. Their Lord called out to them, ‘Did I not forbid you from that tree, and tell you, ‘‘Satan is indeed your manifest enemy?’’ ’
23
They said, ‘Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves! If You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.’
24
He said, ‘Get down, being enemies of one another! On the earth shall be your abode and sustenance for a time.’
25
He said, ‘In it you will live, and in it you will die; and from it you will be raised [from the dead].’
26
‘O Children of Adam! We have certainly sent down to you garments to cover your nakedness, and for adornment. Yet the garment of Godwariness—that is the best.’ That is [one] of Allah’s signs, so that they may take admonition.
27
‘O Children of Adam! Do not let Satan tempt you, like he expelled your parents from paradise, stripping them of their garments to expose to them their nakedness. Indeed he sees you—he and his hosts—whence you do not see them. We have indeed made the devils friends of those who have no faith.’
28
When they commit an indecency, they say, ‘We found our fathers practising it, and Allah has enjoined it upon us.’ Say, ‘Indeed Allah does not enjoin indecencies. Do you attribute to Allah what you do not know?’
29
Say, ‘My Lord has enjoined justice,’ and [He has enjoined,] ‘Set your heart [on Him] at every occasion of prayer, and invoke Him, putting your exclusive faith in Him. Even as He brought you forth in the beginning, so will you return.’
30
A part [of mankind] He has guided and a part has deserved [to be consigned to] error, for they took devils for guardians instead of Allah, and supposed they were guided.
