وَكَذٰلِكَ أَنزَلناهُ قُرآنًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفنا فيهِ مِنَ الوَعيدِ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ أَو يُحدِثُ لَهُم ذِكرًا

And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.

فَتَعالَى اللَّهُ المَلِكُ الحَقُّ ۗ وَلا تَعجَل بِالقُرآنِ مِن قَبلِ أَن يُقضىٰ إِلَيكَ وَحيُهُ ۖ وَقُل رَبِّ زِدني عِلمًا

So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

وَلَقَد عَهِدنا إِلىٰ آدَمَ مِن قَبلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَم نَجِد لَهُ عَزمًا

And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

وَإِذ قُلنا لِلمَلائِكَةِ اسجُدوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدوا إِلّا إِبليسَ أَبىٰ

And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.

فَقُلنا يا آدَمُ إِنَّ هـٰذا عَدُوٌّ لَكَ وَلِزَوجِكَ فَلا يُخرِجَنَّكُما مِنَ الجَنَّةِ فَتَشقىٰ

So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.

وَأَنَّكَ لا تَظمَأُ فيها وَلا تَضحىٰ

And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

فَوَسوَسَ إِلَيهِ الشَّيطانُ قالَ يا آدَمُ هَل أَدُلُّكَ عَلىٰ شَجَرَةِ الخُلدِ وَمُلكٍ لا يَبلىٰ

Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"

فَأَكَلا مِنها فَبَدَت لَهُما سَوآتُهُما وَطَفِقا يَخصِفانِ عَلَيهِما مِن وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصىٰ آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوىٰ

And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.

ثُمَّ اجتَباهُ رَبُّهُ فَتابَ عَلَيهِ وَهَدىٰ

Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].

قالَ اهبِطا مِنها جَميعًا ۖ بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ فَإِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم مِنّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدايَ فَلا يَضِلُّ وَلا يَشقىٰ

[Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].
