23:4Those who work for charity.

23:5Those who safeguard their chastity.

23:8Those who are faithful to their trusts and pledges.

23:10These are the inheritors.

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

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.

23:18And 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.”

23:28Then, 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.”

23:33But 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.

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

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

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

23:43No nation can advance its time, nor can they postpone it.

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.

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

23:51O messengers, eat of the good things, and act with integrity. I am aware of what you do.

23:53But they tore themselves into sects; each party happy with what they have.

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

23:59And those who associate no partners with their Lord.

23:61It is they who race towards goodness. It is they who will reach it first.

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.

23:67Arrogant towards it—talked nonsense about it—disregarded it.

23:69Or is it that they did not recognize their messenger, so they are denying him?

23:73You are inviting them to a straight path.

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

23:78It is He who produced for you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the feelings. But little gratitude you show.

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

23:80And it is He who gives life and brings death, and to Him is the alternation of night and day. Do you not understand?

23:84Say, “To whom does the earth belong, and everyone in it, 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.

23:97And say, “My Lord, I seek refuge with You from the urgings of the devils.

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.

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

23:114He will say, “You remained only for a little while, if you only knew.

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