23:1Certainly will the believers have succeeded:
23:2They who are during their prayer humbly intent
23:3And they who turn away from ill speech
23:4And they who are observant of zakāh
23:5And they who guard their private parts
23:6Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,1 for indeed, they will not be blamed -
23:7But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -
23:8And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive
23:9And they who carefully maintain their prayers -
23:10Those are the inheritors
23:11Who will inherit al-Firdaus.1 They will abide therein eternally.
23:12And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay.
23:13Then We placed him as a sperm-drop1 in a firm lodging [i.e., the womb].
23:14Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allāh, the best of creators.1
23:15Then indeed, after that you are to die.
23:16Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected.
23:17And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.
