23:11Who will inherit Paradise, wherein they will dwell forever.

23:12We created man from an extract of clay.

23:13Then We made him a seed, in a secure repository.

23:14Then We developed the seed into a clot. Then We developed the clot into a lump. Then We developed the lump into bones. Then We clothed the bones with flesh. Then We produced it into another creature. Most Blessed is God, the Best of Creators.

23:17We created above you seven pathways, and We are never heedless of the creation.

23:18And We sent down water from the sky in proper quantity, and settled it in the ground, and We are Able to take it away.

23:19With it We produce for you gardens of palms and vines, yielding abundant fruit for you to eat.

23:21And there is a lesson for you in livestock: We give you to drink from what is in their bellies, and you have many benefits in them, and from them you eat.

23:23We sent Noah to his people. He said, “O my people, worship God, you have no deity other than Him. Will you not take heed?”

23:24But the notables of his people, who disbelieved, said, “This is nothing but a human like you, who wants to gain superiority over you. Had God willed, He would have sent down angels. We never heard of this from our forefathers of old.

23:27So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our observation and by Our inspiration. And when Our decree comes to pass, and the oven boils over, load into it two pairs of every kind, together with your family, except those of them against whom the word has already been pronounced. And do not speak to me concerning those who did wrong; for they are to be drowned.”

23:30Surely in that are signs. We are always testing.

23:31Then, after them, We established another generation.

23:32And We sent among them a messenger from themselves: “Serve God. You have no god other than Him. Will you not be cautious?”

23:33But the dignitaries of his people, those who disbelieved and denied the meeting of the Hereafter, and We had indulged them in the present life, said, “This is nothing but a human like you; he eats what you eat, and he drinks what you drink.

23:37There is nothing but our life in this world. We die, and we live, and we are not resurrected.

23:38He is nothing but a man, making up lies about God. We have no faith in him.”

23:41Then the Blast struck them, justifiably, and We turned them into scum. So away with the wicked people.

23:42Then, after them, We raised other generations.

23:44Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger came to his community, they called him a liar. So We made them follow one another, and made them history. So away with a people who do not believe.

23:45Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron, with Our signs and a clear authority.

23:46To Pharaoh and his nobles, but they turned arrogant. They were oppressive people.

23:47They said, “Are we to believe in two mortals like us, and their people are our slaves?”

23:48So they called them liars, and thus were among those destroyed.

23:49And We gave Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided.

23:50And We made Mary’s son and his mother a sign, and We sheltered them on high ground with security and flowing springs.

23:55Do they assume that, in furnishing them with wealth and children.

23:56We race to give them the good things? In fact, they have no idea.

23:57Those who, from awe of their Lord, are fearful.

23:62We never burden any soul beyond its capacity. And with Us is a record that tells the truth, and they will not be wronged.

23:64Until, when We seize the decadent among them with torment, they begin to groan.

23:66My Verses were recited to you, but you turned back on your heels.

23:71If the truth conformed to their desires, the heavens, the earth, and everyone in them would have gone to ruin. In fact, We have given them their message, but they keep avoiding their message.

23:74But those who do not believe in the Hereafter are swerving from the path.

23:75Even if We had mercy on them, and relieved their problems, they would still blindly persist in their defiance.

23:76We have already gripped them with suffering, but they did not surrender to their Lord, nor did they humble themselves.

23:77Until, when We have opened before them a gate of intense agony, at once they will despair.

23:82They say, “After we have died, and become dust and bones, will we be resurrected?

23:83We were promised this before—we and our ancestors—these are nothing but legends of the ancients.”

23:90In fact, We have given them the truth, and they are liars.

23:92The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate.

23:95We are surely Able to show you what We promise them.

23:96Repel evil by what is better. We are aware of what they describe.

23:101When the Horn is blown, no relations between them will exist on that Day, and they will not ask after one another.

23:103But those whose scales are light—those are they who have lost their souls; in Hell they will dwell forever.

23:105“Were not My revelations recited to you, and you kept on rejecting them?”

23:106They will say, “Our Lord, our wretchedness prevailed over us, and we were a people astray.

23:107Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If we ever returned, we would truly be evil.”

23:109There was a group of My servants who would say, `Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us, and have mercy on us; You are the Best of the merciful.'

23:113They will say, “We remained a day, or part of a day; but ask those who keep count.”

23:115Did you think that We created you in vain, and that to Us you will not be returned?”
