The Believers
بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Mercifulقَد أَفلَحَ المُؤمِنونَ
Successful indeed are the believers;الَّذينَ هُم فى صَلاتِهِم خٰشِعونَ
who are reverent during their Contact Prayers (Salat).وَالَّذينَ هُم عَنِ اللَّغوِ مُعرِضونَ
And they avoid vain talk.وَالَّذينَ هُم لِلزَّكوٰةِ فٰعِلونَ
And they give their obligatory charity (Zakat).وَالَّذينَ هُم لِفُروجِهِم حٰفِظونَ
And they maintain their chastity.إِلّا عَلىٰ أَزوٰجِهِم أَو ما مَلَكَت أَيمٰنُهُم فَإِنَّهُم غَيرُ مَلومينَ
Only with their spouses, or those who are rightfully theirs, do they have sexual relations; they are not to be blamed.فَمَنِ ابتَغىٰ وَراءَ ذٰلِكَ فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ العادونَ
Those who transgress these limits are the transgressors.وَالَّذينَ هُم لِأَمٰنٰتِهِم وَعَهدِهِم رٰعونَ
When it comes to deposits entrusted to them, as well as any agreements they make, they are trustworthy.وَالَّذينَ هُم عَلىٰ صَلَوٰتِهِم يُحافِظونَ
And they observe their Contact Prayers (Salat) regularly.أُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الوٰرِثونَ
Such are the inheritors.الَّذينَ يَرِثونَ الفِردَوسَ هُم فيها خٰلِدونَ
They will inherit Paradise, wherein they abide forever.
