This Book has been sent down to youlet there be no heaviness in your heart about itso that you may warn by means of it and it is a reminder to the believers.
3
Follow what has been sent down to you by your Lord and do not follow any protector other than Him. How seldom you take heed.
4
How many towns We have destroyed. Our scourge fell upon them by night or at midday when they were resting:
5
and when Our scourge fell upon them, their only cry was, 'We were indeed wrongdoers!'
6
Then shall We question those to whom Our message was sent and those through whom We sent it
7
with full knowledge, We shall tell them what they did, for We have never been away from them.
8
Truth alone will be of weight that Day. Those whose scales are heavy shall be successful,
9
and those whose good deeds are light (in the balance) will be the ones who have lost themselves because they wrongfully rejected Our signs.
10
We established you in the land and provided you with a means of livelihood there: yet you are seldom thankful.
11
We created you, then We shaped you and then We said to the angels, 'Prostrate yourselves before Adam,' and they all prostrated themselves, except Satan. He was not among those who prostrated themselves.
12
God asked, 'What prevented you from prostrating yourself when I commanded you to?' He replied, 'I am better than he is; You created me from fire, while You created him from clay.'
13
God said, 'Get down from here! This is no place for your arrogance. Get out! You are contemptible!'
14
Satan said, 'Give me respite until the Day of Resurrection,'
15
and God replied, 'You are granted respite.'
16
Then Satan said, 'Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lie in ambush for them on Your straight path:
17
then I will surely come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right and from their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.'
18
He said, 'Get out of here, despised, and rejected! I shall fill Hell with all of those who follow you.'
19
To Adam He said, 'You and your wife, dwell in the Garden and eat and drink there from wherever you wish, but do not approach this tree, lest you become wrongdoers.'
20
But Satan tempted them so that he might reveal to them their nakedness which had been hidden from them. He said, 'Your Lord has forbidden you to approach this tree lest you should become angels or become of the immortals,'
21
and he swore to them, 'Surely, I am your well-wisher.'
22
Thus he cunningly seduced them. When they tasted the tree's fruit, their nakedness became exposed to them and they started covering themselves with the leaves of the garden. Their Lord called out to them, 'Did I not forbid you to approach that tree, and did I not say to you that Satan was surely your open enemy?'
23
They replied, 'Our Lord, we have wronged our souls: if You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we shall be among the lost.'
24
He said, 'Go down from here as enemies to each other. For a while, there is an abode for you and a provision on earth.
25
There you will live; there you will die; from there you will be raised up again.'
26
O children of Adam! We have sent down to you clothes to cover your nakedness, and to be pleasing to the eye; but the raiment of righteousness is the best. That is one of the signs of God. So that people may take heed.
27
Children of Adam, do not let Satan seduce you, just as he turned your parents out of the Garden: he deprived them of their garment in order to make them aware of their nakedness. He and his forces watch you from where you do not see them! We have made the devils friends of those who do not believe.
28
And when they commit an indecency, they say, 'This is what our fathers used to do and God has enjoined it on us.' Say, 'God does not enjoin what is indecent. Would you attribute to God something of which you have no knowledge?'
29
Say, 'My Lord has commanded you to act justly. Turn your faces up toward Him at every time and place of worship, and call upon Him, making yourselves sincere towards Him in religion. As He brought you into being, so shall you return.'
30
Some He has guided and some have earned misguidance: they have taken devils rather than God as their patrons, thinking that they are rightly guided.
