Surah Al-Muminoon

قَدْأَفْلَحَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

TRULY, to a happy state shall attain the believers:

ٱلَّذِينَهُمْفِىصَلَاتِهِمْخَٰشِعُونَ

those who humble themselves in their prayer,

وَٱلَّذِينَهُمْعَنِٱللَّغْوِمُعْرِضُونَ

and who turn away from all that is frivolous,

وَٱلَّذِينَهُمْلِلزَّكَوٰةِفَٰعِلُونَ

and who are intent on inner purity;

وَٱلَّذِينَهُمْلِفُرُوجِهِمْحَٰفِظُونَ

and who are mindful of their chastity,

إِلَّاعَلَىٰٓأَزْوَٰجِهِمْأَوْمَامَلَكَتْأَيْمَٰنُهُمْفَإِنَّهُمْغَيْرُمَلُومِينَ

[not giving way to their desires] with any but their spouses - that is, those whom they rightfully possess [through wedlock]: for then, behold, they are free of all blame,

فَمَنِٱبْتَغَىٰوَرَآءَذَٰلِكَفَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَهُمُٱلْعَادُونَ

whereas such as seek to go beyond that [limit] are truly transgressors;

وَٱلَّذِينَهُمْلِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْوَعَهْدِهِمْرَٰعُونَ

and who are faithful to their trusts and to their pledges,

وَٱلَّذِينَهُمْعَلَىٰصَلَوَٰتِهِمْيُحَافِظُونَ

and who guard their prayers [from all worldly intent].

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَهُمُٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

It is they, they who shall be the inheritors

ٱلَّذِينَيَرِثُونَٱلْفِرْدَوْسَهُمْفِيهَاخَٰلِدُونَ

that will inherit the paradise; [and] therein shall they abide.

وَلَقَدْخَلَقْنَاٱلْإِنسَٰنَمِنسُلَٰلَةٍۢمِّنطِينٍۢ

NOW, INDEED, We create man out of the essence of clay,

ثُمَّجَعَلْنَٰهُنُطْفَةًۭفِىقَرَارٍۢمَّكِينٍۢ

and then We cause him to remain as a drop of sperm in [the wombs] firm keeping,

ثُمَّخَلَقْنَاٱلنُّطْفَةَعَلَقَةًۭفَخَلَقْنَاٱلْعَلَقَةَمُضْغَةًۭفَخَلَقْنَاٱلْمُضْغَةَعِظَٰمًۭافَكَسَوْنَاٱلْعِظَٰمَلَحْمًۭاثُمَّأَنشَأْنَٰهُخَلْقًاءَاخَرَفَتَبَارَكَٱللَّهُأَحْسَنُٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ

and then We create out of the drop of sperm a germ-cell, and then We create out of the germ-cell an embryonic lump, and then We create within the embryonic lump bones, and then We clothe the bones with flesh - and then We bring [all] this into being as a new creation: hallowed, therefore, is God, the best of artisans!

ثُمَّإِنَّكُمبَعْدَذَٰلِكَلَمَيِّتُونَ

And then, behold! after all this, you are destined to die;

ثُمَّإِنَّكُمْيَوْمَٱلْقِيَٰمَةِتُبْعَثُونَ

and then, behold! you shall be raised from the dead on Resurrection Day.

وَلَقَدْخَلَقْنَافَوْقَكُمْسَبْعَطَرَآئِقَوَمَاكُنَّاعَنِٱلْخَلْقِغَٰفِلِينَ

And, indeed, We have created above you seven [celestial] orbits: and never are We unmindful of [any aspect of Our] creation.

وَأَنزَلْنَامِنَٱلسَّمَآءِمَآءًۢبِقَدَرٍۢفَأَسْكَنَّٰهُفِىٱلْأَرْضِوَإِنَّاعَلَىٰذَهَابٍۭبِهِۦلَقَٰدِرُونَ

And We send down water from the skies in accordance with a measure [set by Us], and then We cause it to lodge in the earth: but, behold, We are most certainly able to withdraw this [blessing]!

فَأَنشَأْنَالَكُمبِهِۦجَنَّٰتٍۢمِّننَّخِيلٍۢوَأَعْنَٰبٍۢلَّكُمْفِيهَافَوَٰكِهُكَثِيرَةٌۭوَمِنْهَاتَأْكُلُونَ

And by means of this [water] We bring forth for you gardens of date-palms and vines, wherein you have fruit abundant and whereof you eat,

وَشَجَرَةًۭتَخْرُجُمِنطُورِسَيْنَآءَتَنۢبُتُبِٱلدُّهْنِوَصِبْغٍۢلِّلْءَاكِلِينَ

as well as a tree that issues from [the lands adjoining] Mount Sinai, yielding oil and relish for all to eat.
