يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفۡتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ كَمَآ أَخۡرَجَ أَبَوَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنۡهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَآۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَىٰكُمۡ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُۥ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا تَرَوۡنَهُمۡۗ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ 27

27        O Children of Adam ( peace be upon him )! Let Satan not deceive you just as he got your parents out of Paradise and removed their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, Satan and his army see you from where you cannot see them. Indeed, We made Satans friends of those who don’t believe.

وَإِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَٰحِشَةٗ قَالُواْ وَجَدۡنَا عَلَيۡهَآ ءَابَآءَنَا وَٱللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَاۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 28

28        And when they do some ob-scene activities they say: “We saw our forefathers doing it, and Allah has also ordered us to do so.” Say: “Indeed, Allah never orders inde-cent activities. Do you say about Allah what you know not?”

قُلۡ أَمَرَ رَبِّي بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ وَأَقِيمُواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسۡجِدٖ وَٱدۡعُوهُ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمۡ تَعُودُونَ 29

29        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “My Creator has commanded justice, and face the Qiblah directly at every time of worship– (Imam Shawkani), and worship Allah Alone sincerely. You will be resurrected (on the Day of Judgement) just like you were created the first time.”

فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُۚ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ 30

30        Allah guided one group of people and the other group deserved to be in ignorance since they made the Satans their friends instead of Allah and they think they are guided.

۞يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُواْ زِينَتَكُمۡ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسۡجِدٖ وَكُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ وَلَا تُسۡرِفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ 31

31        O children of Adam( peace be upon him )! Wear your (graceful) clothing at the time of visitation to a Masjid (for praying). And eat and drink (permissible food items) freely but don’t waste by extravagance. (Allah has summed up the medical knowledge in this one Verse – Ibn Kathir) Indeed, Allah does not like those who waste by extravagance.

قُلۡ مَنۡ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزۡقِۚ قُلۡ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا خَالِصَةٗ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ 32

32        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “Who has forbidden the means of adornment (i.e. clothing) which Allah has made for His slaves and who has forbidden the lawful food items?” Say: “These things are for the believers in this world (although disbelievers benefit from them too). However, these things will be exclusively for the believers on the Day of Judgement. In this way We explain Our revelations in detail for the people who have knowledge.

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ ٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنۡهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلۡإِثۡمَ وَٱلۡبَغۡيَ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَن تُشۡرِكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا وَأَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 33

33        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “Indeed, my Creator has forbidden obscene activities, done openly or secretly, and (all kind of) sins, and oppression without justification, joining partners (in worship) with Allah for which He has not sent down any authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge.”

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٞۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَأۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ 34

34        And every community has its fixed term (to perform deeds), when their term comes, neither it can be delayed nor it can be advanced an hour (or momentarily).

يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ إِمَّا يَأۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ رُسُلٞ مِّنكُمۡ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَأَصۡلَحَ فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ 35

35        (We informed you at the time of the creation of your souls). O Children of Adam! If a messenger comes to you from amongst you, reciting to you My revelations, then whosoever fears Allah and reforms himself (by good deeds), there shall be no fear, nor grief for them.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ عَنۡهَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ 36

36        And those who reject Our revelations and display arrogance, they are the residents of the Hell-Fire, they will be there forever.

فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِهِۦٓۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَنَالُهُمۡ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوۡنَهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا وَشَهِدُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ كَٰفِرِينَ 37

37        (Here are more details of the residents of Hell). Who is more unjust than one who coins lies against Allah or rejects His revelations. They will receive their fixed portion (of wealth and age) written in the Book (in this world), until Our angels (of death) come to them to take their souls. The angels will say to them: “Where are those whom you used to worship besides Allah?” They will reply: “They have disappeared and have deserted us.” And they will bear witness against themselves, that they were definitely disbelievers.

قَالَ ٱدۡخُلُواْ فِيٓ أُمَمٖ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ فِي ٱلنَّارِۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتۡ أُمَّةٞ لَّعَنَتۡ أُخۡتَهَاۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُواْ فِيهَا جَمِيعٗا قَالَتۡ أُخۡرَىٰهُمۡ لِأُولَىٰهُمۡ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَ‍َٔاتِهِمۡ عَذَابٗا ضِعۡفٗا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِۖ قَالَ لِكُلّٖ ضِعۡفٞ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَعۡلَمُونَ 38

38        Allah will say: “Enter the Hell-Fire in the company of groups, of men and jinn who passed away before you.” Every time a new group enters, it curses its sister group until they will be gathered altogether in the Fire. The last group will say to their preceding groups: “Our Creator! These people misled us, so inflict double torment of the Fire on them.” Allah will say: “For each one of you there is double torment, but you know not.” (Also Surah Al-Ahzab:67, 68)

وَقَالَتۡ أُولَىٰهُمۡ لِأُخۡرَىٰهُمۡ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡنَا مِن فَضۡلٖ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ 39

39        Their first group will say to their last group: “So you are not su-perior to us, hence taste the punish-ment for what you used to do.”

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ عَنۡهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمۡ أَبۡوَٰبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَا يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلۡجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ ٱلۡخِيَاطِۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ 40

40        Indeed those who denied Our revelations and were arrogant about them, the doors of the heaven will not be opened for them and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of a needle (which is impossible). And thus We treat the criminals.

لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٞ وَمِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ غَوَاشٖۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 41

41        Their bedding will be of Hell-Fire and their covering will also be of Hell-Fire. And thus We treat the wrong-doers.

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَآ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ 42

42        And those who believed and did good deeds, We do not burden a person beyond his capacity, they will be the residents of Paradise, they will live there forever.

وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلّٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۖ وَقَالُواْ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي هَدَىٰنَا لِهَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهۡتَدِيَ لَوۡلَآ أَنۡ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُۖ لَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَنُودُوٓاْ أَن تِلۡكُمُ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُورِثۡتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ 43

43        And Allah shall remove from their hearts jeolousy (if any), rivers flowing under them, and they will say (out of happiness): “All praise and thanks are due to Allah Who guided us to this place (Paradise). We would not have reached it unless Allah had guided us! Indeed, the messengers of our Creator did come with the truth.” And it will be announced to them: “This is the Paradise which you have inherited for what you used to do.”

وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ أَن قَدۡ وَجَدۡنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقّٗا فَهَلۡ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمۡ حَقّٗاۖ قَالُواْ نَعَمۡۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُۢ بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَن لَّعۡنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 44

44        The residents of Paradise will call out to the residents of Hell-Fire (to express their happiness and to increase the sadness of the residents of Hell-Fire).  “We have, indeed, found true what our Creator had promised us, have you also found true what your Creator promised?” They shall say: “Yes (indeed).”Then a caller (an angel) will an-nounce (standing between these two groups): “The Curse of Allah is on the wrong-doers.”

ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجٗا وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ كَٰفِرُونَ 45

45        Those who hinder others from the Path of Allah, and seek crookedness in it and disbelieve in the Hereafter.

وَبَيۡنَهُمَا حِجَابٞۚ وَعَلَى ٱلۡأَعۡرَافِ رِجَالٞ يَعۡرِفُونَ كُلَّۢا بِسِيمَىٰهُمۡۚ وَنَادَوۡاْ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ لَمۡ يَدۡخُلُوهَا وَهُمۡ يَطۡمَعُونَ 46

46        And between them (the residents of Paradise and residents of Hell) there will be a barrier or Al-Araf (as also mentioned in Surah Al-Hadeed: 13. Al-Araf is a wall between paradise and hell and it has in it elevated places. There will be many residents of Al-Araf. Their good deeds and bad deeds are equal in scale – Qurtubi). The residents of Al-Araf will be able to recognize both groups from their appearance (the residents of Paradise will have white faces while the residents of Hell will have dark faces). The residents of Al-Araf will say to the residents of Paradise: “Peace be upon you,” and they have not yet entered Paradise, but they hope to enter it.
