23:1Successful are the believers.

23:7But whoever seeks anything beyond that—these are the transgressors.

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.

23:16Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected.

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.

23:24But 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.”

23:28Then, when you and those with you are settled in the Ark, say, “Praise be to God, who has saved us from the wrongdoing people.”

23:29And say, “My Lord, land me with a blessed landing, as you are the best of transporters.”

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.

23:34If you obey a human being like yourselves, then you will be losers.

23:35Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones, you will be brought out?

23:40He said, “Soon they will be filled with regret.”

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.

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

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

23:54So leave them in their bewilderment until a time.

23:58And those who believe in their Lord’s Verses.

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.

23:63But their hearts are puzzled because of this; and they have deeds that do not conform to this, which they continue to perpetrate.

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

23:72Or are you asking them for a payment? The revenue from your Lord is better, and He is the Best of providers.

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

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

23:79And it is He who multiplied you on earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

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.”

23:84Say, “To whom does the earth belong, and everyone in it, if you happen to know?”

23:87They will say, “To God.” Say, “Will you not become righteous?”

23:88Say, “In whose hand is the dominion of all things, and He protects and cannot be protected from, if you happen to know?”

23:89They will say, “To God.” Say, “Then are you bewitched?”

23:91God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe.

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

23:98And I seek refuge with You, my Lord, lest they become present.”

23:100That I may do right in what I have neglected.” By no means! It is just a word that he utters. And behind them is a barrier, until the Day they are resurrected.

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

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

23:108He will say, “Be despised therein, and do not speak to Me.

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.'

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

23:117Whoever invokes another god besides God—he has no proof thereof—his reckoning rests with his Lord. The disbelievers will not succeed.

23:118And say, “My Lord, forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of the merciful.”
