(I) Believers will succeed!
2
(This means) those who are reverent in their prayer,
3
who refrain from idle talk,
4
who are active in (promoting) public welfare
5
and who guard their private parts
6
except with their spouses and whomever their right hands may control, since then they are free from blame.
7
Those who hanker after anything beyond that are going too far!
8
And those who preserve their trusts and their pledge,
9
and who attend to their prayers,
11
who shall inherit Paradise to live there for ever.
12
We created man from an extract of clay;
13
then We placed him as a drop of semen in a secure resting-place.
14
Then We turned the semen into a clot; next We turned the clot into tissue; and then We turned the tissue into bones and clothed the bones with flesh. Then We reproduced him as a fresh creation. Blessed be God, the Best of Creators!
15
Then later on you shall die.
16
Next you will be raised up again on Resurrection Day.
17
We have created seven orbits above you; We have not been heedless about creation.
18
We send down water from the sky in due measure, and let it trickle into the Earth. We are even Able to make it disappear.
19
We have produced date groves and vineyards on it for you; from which you have much fruit to eat,
20
as well as a tree growing on Mount Sinai which produces oil and seasoning for those who (want to) eat.
21
You have (still another) lesson in livestock: We let you drink what is in their bellies, and you have many (other) uses in them; some of them you eat,
22
while on them and on shipboard are you transported.
23
(II) We sent Noah to his folk, and he said: "My people, worship God; you have no other deity except Him. Will you not do your duty?"
24
The elders among his folk who disbelieved said: "This is only a human being like yourselves who wants to attain some superiority over you. If God had wished, He would have sent down angels (instead). We never heard about this from our early forefathers.
25
He is only a man possessed by some sprite, so try to catch him off guard for a moment."
26
He said; "My Lord, support me in view of how they have rejected me!"
27
So We inspired him: "Build the ship under Our eyes and through Our inspiration. When Our command comes and the reservoir bursts open, send two out of every species on board as well as your own family, except for any of them against whom the Sentence has already been pronounced. Do not lecture Me about those who have done wrong: they will be drowned.
28
When you and anyone else who is with you have boarded the ship, then SAY: "Praise be to God, Who has saved us from such wicked folk!"
29
And (also) SAY: "My Lord, land me through a blessed landing, You are the best Harbormaster!"
30
In that there were signs: We are always testing (people)."
