وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَانًا عَرَبِيّٗا وَصَرَّفۡنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلۡوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُونَ أَوۡ يُحۡدِثُ لَهُمۡ ذِكۡرٗا 113

113        And thus We have sent down the Quran in Arabic and We have explained the warnings in it in detail in order that people may fear Allah or to give them some food for thought.

فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ وَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يُقۡضَىٰٓ إِلَيۡكَ وَحۡيُهُۥۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدۡنِي عِلۡمٗا 114

114        So High above all is Allah, the True King (who revealed the beneficial Quran). [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Don’t hasten to recite the Quran (during the revelation) before its revelation is completed to you and say: “O my Creator! Increase my knowledge.”

وَلَقَدۡ عَهِدۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبۡلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمۡ نَجِدۡ لَهُۥ عَزۡمٗا 115

115        And, indeed, We took a promise from Adam ( peace be upon him )  before, (detail of which follows later) but he forgot and We did not find him firm in his will-power.

وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰ 116

116        And (remember) when We said to the angels: “You prostrate to Adam ( peace be upon him ) . They prostrated themselves all except Satan. He refused.”

فَقُلۡنَا يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَٰذَا عَدُوّٞ لَّكَ وَلِزَوۡجِكَ فَلَا يُخۡرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ فَتَشۡقَىٰٓ 117

117        So We said: “O Adam ( peace be upon him ) ! Indeed, This is your enemy and also enemy of your wife lest he gets both of you expelled from the Paradise causing you hardships (e.g. seeking means of livelihood etc.).

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعۡرَىٰ 118

118        “Indeed, here you will never be hungry or naked.

وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظۡمَؤُاْ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضۡحَىٰ 119

119        “And, indeed, you will never be thirsty nor you will suffer from the sun’s heat as a promise from Us.”

فَوَسۡوَسَ إِلَيۡهِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ قَالَ يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ وَمُلۡكٖ لَّا يَبۡلَىٰ 120

120        So Satan whispered to him, saying: “O Adam ( peace be upon him ) ! Shall I show you the tree of Eternal life and kingdom which will never become weak?”

فَأَكَلَا مِنۡهَا فَبَدَتۡ لَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخۡصِفَانِ عَلَيۡهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۚ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ 121

121        So both of them ate from the tree and hence, their private parts became uncovered. They started covering themselves with leaves of Paradise and Adam ( peace be upon him )  did disobey his Creator and he slipped away (from the Right Path).

ثُمَّ ٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡهِ وَهَدَىٰ 122

122        (When they repented) then His Creator chose him, so accepted his repentance, and guided him (to the Right Path).

قَالَ ٱهۡبِطَا مِنۡهَا جَمِيعَۢاۖ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوّٞۖ فَإِمَّا يَأۡتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدٗى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشۡقَىٰ 123

123        Allah said: “Both of you get down, together, (from Paradise to earth). Some (of your children) are going to be enemies of one another. So if My guidance comes to you, then whoever follows My guidance he shall not go astray, nor shall experience any hardship.

وَمَنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَن ذِكۡرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةٗ ضَنكٗا وَنَحۡشُرُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ 124

124        “And whoever turns away from My Reminder, for him is life of hardships (in this world and in the grave), and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.”

قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرۡتَنِيٓ أَعۡمَىٰ وَقَدۡ كُنتُ بَصِيرٗا 125

125        He will say: “O my Creator! Why have you raised me up blind while I had eyesight before (in the world)?”

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَاۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُنسَىٰ 126

126        Allah will say: “It should be like this. You are ignored today just as you ignored Our revelations which came to you.”

وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي مَنۡ أَسۡرَفَ وَلَمۡ يُؤۡمِنۢ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦۚ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ 127

127        And thus We do punish him who transgresses and does not believe in the revelations of his Creator. And definitely the torment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting.

أَفَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لَهُمۡ كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ يَمۡشُونَ فِي مَسَٰكِنِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلنُّهَىٰ 128

128        Did it not guide them that We destroyed many communities before them, in whose dwellings they walk? Indeed, there are signs in this for the people of understanding.

وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامٗا وَأَجَلٞ مُّسَمّٗى 129

129        Had your Creator not decided this in advance (to delay the punishment due to some wisdom) and had fixed a time for it, the torment would have definitely struck them by now (in this world).

فَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ غُرُوبِهَاۖ وَمِنۡ ءَانَآيِٕ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡ وَأَطۡرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرۡضَىٰ 130

130        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] So be patient about what they say, and glorify the praise of your Creator before the rising of the sun, and before its setting and during the parts of the night, and at the ends of the day (i.e. five compulsory prayers) so that you are pleased (with the level you attain with Allah).

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لِنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰ 131

131        And don’t care to even look towards those things which We have given for enjoyment to various groups from them. It is the pomp and show of this life to test them with it. But the provision of your Creator is better and more lasting.

وَأۡمُرۡ أَهۡلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ عَلَيۡهَاۖ لَا نَسۡ‍َٔلُكَ رِزۡقٗاۖ نَّحۡنُ نَرۡزُقُكَۗ وَٱلۡعَٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰ 132

132        And insist upon your family to perform Salat and be patient in performing it (the Salat). We don’t ask you (and others) for provision; rather We provide you (and others). And good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the pious people only.
