Triumphant indeed are the believers,
2
who are submissive to God in their prayers,
3
who avoid impious talks,
4
pay their religious tax
5
and restrain their carnal desires
6
except with their spouses and slave-girls. The practice of carnal relations is lawful with them.
7
Those who desire to go beyond such limits they commit transgression,
8
those who are true to their trust,
10
and who are steadfast in their prayer.
11
These are the heirs of Paradise wherein they will live forever.
12
We have created the human being from an extract of clay
13
which was then turned into a living germ and placed in safe depository.
14
The living germ, then, was turned into a shapeless lump of flesh from which bones were formed. The bones, then, were covered with flesh. At this stage, We caused it to become another creature. All blessings belong to God, the best Creator.
15
Thereafter you will certainly die
16
and you will be brought back to life again on the Day of Resurrection.
17
We have created seven heavens above you and have never been neglectful to Our Creation.
18
We have sent a measure of water from the sky to stay on earth and We have the power to take it away.
19
We have established for you gardens of palm trees and vineyards with this water with many fruits for you to consume.
20
We have also created for you the tree that grows on Mount Sinai which produces oil and relish for those who use it.
21
There is a lesson for you concerning cattle. We provide you with drink from their bellies and many other benefits. You can consume them as meat.
22
You are carried by the animals on land and by the ships in the sea.
23
We sent Noah to his people who said, "My people, worship God for He is your only Lord. Will you then not have fear of Him?"
24
The chiefs of the unbelievers said to the others, "He is a mere mortal like you. He wants only to be superior to you. Had God wanted He would have sent the angels (instead of him). We have never heard from our fathers anything like what he says.
25
He is only an insane person. Wait for some time. Perhaps he will come to his senses."
26
Noah prayed, "Lord, help me; they have called me a liar".
27
We inspired him, saying, "Build the Ark before Our eyes and by the instruction of Our revelation. When our decree comes to pass and water comes forth from the Oven, embark in the Ark with a pair of every kind of animals and your family except those already doomed (to perish). Do not plead with Me for the unjust; they will be drowned."
28
When all of you settle in the Ark, say, "Only God Who has saved us from the unjust people deserves all praise".
29
Say, "Lord, grant us a blessed landing from the Ark; You are the One who provides the safest landing".
30
In this story there is enough evidence (of the Truth); thus do We try (mankind)
