Showing all verses in sura 23:

Khalifa

In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Khalifa

Successful indeed are the believers;

Khalifa

who are reverent during their Contact Prayers (Salat).

Khalifa

And they avoid vain talk.

Khalifa

And they give their obligatory charity (Zakat).

Khalifa

And they maintain their chastity.

Khalifa

Only with their spouses, or those who are rightfully theirs, do they have sexual relations; they are not to be blamed.

Khalifa

Those who transgress these limits are the transgressors.

Khalifa

When it comes to deposits entrusted to them, as well as any agreements they make, they are trustworthy.

Khalifa

And they observe their Contact Prayers (Salat) regularly.

Khalifa

Such are the inheritors.

Khalifa

They will inherit Paradise, wherein they abide forever.

Khalifa

We created the human being from a certain kind of mud.

Khalifa

Subsequently, we reproduced him from a tiny drop, that is placed into a well protected repository.

Khalifa

Then we developed the drop into a hanging (embryo), then developed the hanging (embryo) into a bite-size (fetus), then created the bite-size (fetus) into bones, then covered the bones with flesh. We thus produce a new creature. Most blessed is GOD, the best Creator.

Khalifa

Then, later on, you die.

Khalifa

Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected.

Khalifa

We created above you seven universes in layers, and we are never unaware of a single creature in them.

Khalifa

We send down from the sky water, in exact measure, then we store it in the ground. Certainly, we can let it escape.

Khalifa

With it, we produce for you orchards of date palms, grapes, all kinds of fruits, and various foods.

Khalifa

Also, a tree native to Sinai produces oil, as well as relish for the eaters.

Khalifa

And the livestock should provide you with a lesson. We let you drink (milk) from their bellies, you derive other benefits from them, and some of them you use for food.

Khalifa

On them, and on the ships, you ride.

Khalifa

We sent Noah to his people, saying, "O my people, worship GOD. You have no other god beside Him. Would you not be righteous?"

Khalifa

The leaders who disbelieved among his people said, "This is no more than a human like you, who wants to gain prominence among you. Had GOD willed, He could have sent down angels. We never heard of anything like this from our ancestors.

Khalifa

"He is simply a man gone crazy. Just ignore him for awhile."

Khalifa

He said, "My Lord, grant me victory, for they have disbelieved me."

Khalifa

We then inspired him: "Make the watercraft under our watchful eyes, and in accordance with our inspiration. When our command comes, and the atmosphere boils up, put on it a pair of every kind (of your domesticated animals), and your family, except those condemned to be doomed. Do not speak to Me on behalf of those who transgressed; they will be drowned.

Khalifa

"Once you are settled, together with those who are with you, on the watercraft, you shall say, `Praise GOD for saving us from the evil people.'

Khalifa

"And say, `My Lord, let me disembark onto a blessed location; You are the best deliverer.' "

Khalifa

These should provide sufficient proofs for you. We will certainly put you to the test.

Khalifa

Subsequently, we established another generation after them.

Khalifa

We sent to them a messenger from among them, saying, "You shall worship GOD. You have no other god beside Him. Would you not be righteous?"

Khalifa

The leaders among his people who disbelieved and rejected the idea of the Hereafter - although we provided for them generously in this life - said, "This is no more than a human being like you. He eats from what you eat, and drinks as you drink.

Khalifa

"If you obey a human being like you, then you are really losers.

Khalifa

"Does he promise you that, after you die and turn into dust and bones, you will come out again?

Khalifa

"Impossible, impossible indeed is what is promised to you.

Khalifa

"We only live this life - we live and die - and we will never be resurrected.

Khalifa

"He is just a man who fabricated lies and attributed them to GOD. We will never believe him."

Khalifa

He said, "My Lord, grant me victory, for they have disbelieved me."

Khalifa

He said, "Soon they will be sorry."

Khalifa

The retribution struck them, equitably, and thus, we turned them into ruins. The wicked people perished.

Khalifa

Subsequently, we established other generations after them.

Khalifa

No community can advance its predetermined fate, nor delay it.

Khalifa

Then we sent our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger went to his community, they disbelieved him. Consequently, we annihilated them, one after the other, and made them history. The people who disbelieved have perished.

Khalifa

Then we sent Moses and his brother Aaron with our revelations and a profound proof.

Khalifa

To Pharaoh and his elders, but they turned arrogant. They were oppressive people.

Khalifa

They said, "Shall we believe for two men whose people are our slaves?"

Khalifa

They rejected the two, and consequently, they were annihilated.

Khalifa

We gave Moses the scripture, that they may be guided.

Khalifa

We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and we gave them refuge on a mesa with food and drink.

Khalifa

O you messengers, eat from the good provisions, and work righteousness. I am fully aware of everything you do.

Khalifa

Such is your congregation - one congregation - and I am your Lord; you shall reverence Me.

Khalifa

But they tore themselves into disputing factions; each party happy with what they have.

Khalifa

Therefore, just leave them in their confusion, for awhile.

Khalifa

Do they think that, since we provided them with money and children,

Khalifa

we must be showering them with blessings? Indeed, they have no idea.

Khalifa

Surely, those who are reverently conscious of their Lord,

Khalifa

And who believe in the revelations of their Lord,

Khalifa

And who never set up any idols beside their Lord,

Khalifa

As they give their charities, their hearts are fully reverent. For they recognize that they will be summoned before their Lord,

Khalifa

They are eager to do righteous works; they compete in doing them.

Khalifa

We never burden any soul beyond its means, and we keep a record that utters the truth. No one will suffer injustice.

Khalifa

Because their minds are oblivious to this, they commit works that do not conform with this; their works are evil.

Khalifa

Then, when we requite their leaders with retribution, they complain.

Khalifa

Do not complain now; you have given up all help from us.

Khalifa

My proofs have been presented to you, but you turned back on your heels.

Khalifa

You were too arrogant to accept them, and you defiantly disregarded them.

Khalifa

Why do they not reflect upon this scripture? Do they not realize that they have received something never attained by their ancestors?

Khalifa

Have they failed to recognize their messenger? Is this why they are disregarding him?

Khalifa

Have they decided that he is crazy? Indeed, he has brought the truth to them, but most of them hate the truth.

Khalifa

Indeed, if the truth conformed to their wishes, there would be chaos in the heavens and the earth; everything in them would be corrupted. We have given them their proof, but they are disregarding their proof.

Khalifa

Are you asking them for a wage? Your Lord's wage is far better. He is the best Provider.

Khalifa

Most assuredly, you are inviting them to a straight path.

Khalifa

Those who disbelieve in the Hereafter will surely deviate from the right path.

Khalifa

Even when we showered them with mercy, and relieved their problems, they plunged deeper into transgression, and continued to blunder.

Khalifa

Even when we afflicted them with retribution, they never turned to their Lord imploring.

Khalifa

Subsequently, when we requited them with the severe retribution they had incurred, they were shocked.

Khalifa

He is the One who granted you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains. Rarely are you appreciative.

Khalifa

He is the One who established you on earth, and before Him you will be summoned.

Khalifa

He is the One who controls life and death, and He is the One who alternates the night and day. Do you not understand?

Khalifa

They said what their ancestors said.

Khalifa

They said, "After we die and become dust and bones, we get resurrected?

Khalifa

"Such promises were given to us and to our parents in the past. These are no more than tales from the past."

Khalifa

Say, "To whom belongs the earth and everyone on it, if you know?"

Khalifa

They will say, "To GOD." Say, "Why then do you not take heed?"

Khalifa

Say, "Who is the Lord of the seven universes; the Lord of the great dominion?"

Khalifa

They will say, "GOD." Say, "Why then do you not turn righteous?"

Khalifa

Say, "In whose hand is all sovereignty over all things, and He is the only one who can provide help, but needs no help, if you know?"

Khalifa

They will say, "GOD." Say, "Where did you go wrong?"

Khalifa

We have given them the truth, while they are liars.

Khalifa

GOD has never begotten a son. Nor was there ever any other god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have declared independence with his creations, and they would have competed with each other for dominance. GOD be glorified; far above their claims.

Khalifa

The Knower of all secrets and declarations; be He exalted, far above having a partner.

Khalifa

Say, "My Lord whether You show me (the retribution) they have incurred [or not],

Khalifa

"My Lord, let me not be one of the transgressing people."

Khalifa

To show you (the retribution) we have reserved for them is something we can easily do.

Khalifa

Therefore, counter their evil works with goodness; we are fully aware of their claims.

Khalifa

Say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whispers of the devils.

Khalifa

"And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they come near me."

Khalifa

When death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back.

Khalifa

"I will then work righteousness in everything I left." Not true. This is a false claim that he makes. A barrier will separate his soul from this world until resurrection.

Khalifa

When the horn is blown, no relations among them will exist on that day, nor will they care about one another.

Khalifa

As for those whose weights are heavy, they will be the winners.

Khalifa

Those whose weights are light are the ones who lost their souls; they abide in Hell forever.

Khalifa

Fire will overwhelm their faces, and they last miserably therein.

Khalifa

Were not My revelations recited to you, and you kept on rejecting them?

Khalifa

They will say, "Our Lord, our wickedness overwhelmed us, and we were people gone astray.

Khalifa

"Our Lord, take us out of this; if we return (to our old behavior), then we are really wicked."

Khalifa

He will say, "Abide therein, humiliated, and do not speak to Me.

Khalifa

"A group of My servants used to say, `Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and shower us with mercy. Of all the merciful ones, You are the Most Merciful.'

Khalifa

"But you mocked and ridiculed them, to the extent that you forgot Me. You used to laugh at them.

Khalifa

"I have rewarded them today, in return for their steadfastness, by making them the winners."

Khalifa

He said, "How long have you lasted on earth? How many years?"

Khalifa

They said, "We lasted a day or part of a day. Ask those who counted."

Khalifa

He said, "In fact, you stayed but a brief interim, if you only knew.

Khalifa

"Did you think that we created you in vain; that you were not to be returned to us?"

Khalifa

Most exalted is GOD, the true Sovereign. There is no other god beside Him; the Most Honorable Lord, possessor of all authority.

Khalifa

Anyone who idolizes beside GOD any other god, and without any kind of proof, his reckoning rests with his Lord. The disbelievers never succeed.

Khalifa

Say, "My Lord, shower us with forgiveness and mercy. Of all the merciful ones, You are the Most Merciful."
