Sura 23 The Believers (Al-Mu'minun)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[23:1] Successful indeed are the believers;

[23:2] those who are humble in their Salat,

[23:3] and those who turn away from idle talk,

[23:4] and those who give the Zakat,

[23:5] and those who guard their private parts

[23:6] except from their spouses, or what their right hands possess, with whom they are free from blame.

[23:7] Then whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors.

[23:8] Also, those who honor what they have been entrusted with and their oaths.

[23:9] And those who maintain their Salat.

[23:10] Those are the inheritors

[23:11] who will inherit Paradise. Therein, they shall permanently remain.

[23:12] We created the human being from an extract of clay.

[23:13] Then We made him a tiny drop in a secure resting place.

[23:14] Then We created from the tiny drop an aalaqah. Then We created from the aalaqah a mudghah. Then We created from the mudghah bones. Then We covered the bones with flesh. Then We produced him as another creation. So blessed be God, the best of creators.

[23:15] Then, after that, you will surely die.
