Successful Indeed are the Believers

Surah Al-Mu'minun

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ

Successful indeed are the believers: [23:1]

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ

those who humble themselves in prayer; [23:2]

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

those who avoid idle talk; [23:3]

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَـٰعِلُونَ

those who pay zakkah; [23:4]

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ

those who guard their chastity [23:5]

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, for then they are free from blame, [23:6]

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ

but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors; [23:7]

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ

˹the believers are also˺ those who are true to their trusts and covenants; [23:8]

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

and those who are ˹properly˺ observant of their prayers. [23:9]

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

These are the ones who will be awarded [23:10]

ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ

Paradise as their own. They will be there forever. [23:11]
