Successful indeed are the believers:

those who humble themselves in prayer;

those who avoid idle talk;

those who pay alms-tax;¹

those who guard their chastity¹

except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession,¹ for then they are free from blame,

but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors;

˹the believers are also˺ those who are true to their trusts and covenants;

and those who are ˹properly˺ observant of their prayers.

These are the ones who will be awarded

Paradise as their own.¹ They will be there forever.

And indeed, We created humankind¹ from an extract of clay,

then placed each ˹human˺ as a sperm-drop¹ in a secure place,

then We developed the drop into a clinging clot, then developed the clot into a lump ˹of flesh˺, then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation.¹ So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.

After that you will surely die,

then on the Day of Judgment you will be resurrected.

And indeed, We created above you seven levels ˹of heaven˺. We are never unmindful of ˹Our˺ creation.
