And strive in the cause of Allah, with the effort which is His due. He has chosen you, and has not laid upon you any hardship (or hindrance) in religion - the faith of your father Abraham. He has named you Muslims of old and in this (Scripture), that the Messenger may be a witness against you, and that you may be witnesses against mankind. So establish regular (and correct) prayer, give regular (and correct) charity, and hold fast to Allah; He is your Protecting Friend; a blessed Patron and blessed Helper.

Successful indeed are the believers (or the believers will eventually win)
3
Who in their prayers are humble,
4
And who shun vain talk,
5
And who are constantly active in charitable works.
6
And who abstain from sexual immodesty (or guard their modesty or chastity or sexual purity).
7
Except for with those joined with them in marriage or the captive whom their right hand possesses, for then, verily, they are free from blame.
8
But whoever craves aught beyond that, they are the transgressors
9
And those who faithfully observe their trusts and covenants,
10
And who guard well (pay heed to) their prayers:
11
These will be the heirs,
12
Who shall inherit Paradise; they shall dwell therein.
13
We have created man from an extract of clay;
14
Then We made him a drop (sperm) in a safe depository (the womb);
15
Then We made the drop into a clot, and We made the clot into a lump (foetus); then We made the lump into bone, and We clothed the bone with flesh; then We produced from it another creature. Blessed be Allah, the best of Creators.
16
Then shall you after that surely die;
17
Then, lo! On the Day of Resurrection shall you surely be raised.
18
And We have created above you seven paths; and We are never heedless of creation.
19
And We send down from the heaven water by measure, and We make it rest in the earth; but, verily, We are able to withdraw it.
20
Then We produce for you thereby gardens of date-palms and grapes wherein you have much fruits, and whereof you eat.
21
And a tree growing out of Mount Sinai (Olives) which produces oil, and a relish for eaters.
22
And, verily, you have a lesson in the cattle; We give you to drink of what is in their bodies; and you have therein many uses, and of them you eat,
23
And on them and on ships you are carried.
24
We sent Noah unto his people, and he said, "O my people! Serve Allah, you have no God but Him; do you then not fear (evil)?"
25
Said the chiefs of those who disbelieved among his people, "This is nothing but a mortal like yourselves who wishes to make himself superior to you. Had Allah pleased He could surely have sent angels. We have not heard of this from our forefathers.
26
He is nothing but a man possessed; so watch him for a while.
27
Said he, "My Lord! Help me, for they deny me."
28
And We inspired him, saying "Make the ark under Our eyes and Our inspiration; and when the oven (of Allah's wrath) boils over (or the fountains or springs of the earth are about to gush forth), conduct into it of every kind two spouses, and your household, except them against whom the Word has already gone forth. And plead not on behalf of those who do wrong, verily, they will be drowned.
29
But when you are settled, you and those with you in the ark, say, Praise belongs to Allah, Who saved us from the unjust people."
30
And say, 'My Lord! Cause me to land on a blessed landing place, for you are the best of all who bring to land.'
