(How) prosperous are the believers!
4
who pay the prescribed alms,
5
who guard their chastity
6
except with their spouses or their slaveswith these they are not to blame,
7
but anyone who seeks more than this is exceeding the limits
8
who are faithful to their trusts and pledges
9
and who keep up their prayers,
11
Paradise as their own, there to remain.
12
We created man from an essence of clay,
13
then We placed him as a drop of fluid in a safe place,
14
then We made that drop into a clinging form, and We made that form into a lump of flesh, and We made that lump into bones, and We clothed those bones with flesh, and later We made him into other formsglory be to God, the best of creators!
16
and then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be raised up again.
17
We created seven levels above you: We are never unmindful of Our creation.
18
We sent water down from the sky in due measure and lodged it in the earthWe have the power to take it all away if We so wish
19
with it We produced for you gardens of date palms and vines, with many fruits there for you to eat,
20
and a tree, growing out of Mount Sinai, that produces oil and seasoning for your food.
21
There is a lesson for you in livestock: We produce milk for you to drink from their bellies. And they have many other benefits: you eat them
22
and you ride on them, as you do in ships.
23
We sent Noah to his people. He said, 'My people, serve God, for He is your only god. Will you not heed Him?'
24
But the leading disbelievers among his people said, 'He is merely a mortal like you, trying to gain some superiority over you. God would have sent down angels if He had wished; besides, we never heard of anything like this from our forefathers.
25
He is just a madman, so let's wait and see what happens to him.'
26
Noah said, 'My Lord, help me! They call me a liar,'
27
and so We revealed to him: 'Build the Ark under Our watchful eye and according to Our revelation. When Our command comes and water gushes up out of the earth, take pairs of every species on board, and your family, except for those on whom the sentence has already been passed- do not plead with me for the evildoers: they will be drowned-
28
and when you and your companions are settled on the Ark, say, “Praise be to God, who delivered us from the wicked people,”
29
and say, “My Lord, let me land with Your blessing: it is You who provide the best landings”.'
30
There are signs in all this: We have always put (people) to the test.
