Al-A'raf
7.21 . And he swore unto them ( saying ) : Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you .
7.22 . Thus did he lead them on with guile . And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide ( by heaping ) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden . And their Lord called them , ( saying ) : Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you : Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you?
7.23 . They said : Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves . If Thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us , surely we are of the lost!
7.24 . He said : Go down ( from hence ) , one of you a foe unto the other . There will be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a while .
7.25 . He said : There shall ye live , and there shall ye die , and thence shall ye be brought forth .
7.26 . O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame , and splendid vesture , but the raiment of restraint from evil , that is best . This is of the revelations of Allah , that they may remember .
7.27 . O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused your ( first ) parents to go forth from the Garden and tore off from them their robe ( of innocence ) that be might manifest their shame to them . Lo! he seeth you , he and his tribe , from whence ye see him not . Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not .
7.28 . And when they do some lewdness they say : We found our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us . Say : Allah , verily , enjoineth not lewdness . Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?
7.29 . Say : My Lord enjoineth justice . And set your faces , upright ( toward Him ) at every place of worship and call upon Him , making religion pure for Him ( only ) . As He brought you into being , so return ye ( unto Him ) .
7.30 . A party hath He led aright , while error hath just hold over ( another ) party , for lo! they choose the devils for protecting friends instead of Allah and deem that they are rightly guided .
7.31 . O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship , and eat and drink , but be not prodigal . Lo! He loveth not the prodigals .
7.32 . Say : Who hath forbidden the adornment of Allah which He hath brought forth for His bondmen , and the good things of His providing? Say : Such , on the Day of Resurrection , will be only for those who believed during the life of the world . Thus do We detail Our revelations for people who have knowledge .
7.33 . Say : My Lord forbiddeth only indecencies , such of them as are apparent and such as are within , and sin and wrongful oppression , and that ye associate with Allah that for which no warrant hath been revealed , and that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye know not .
7.34 . And every nation hath its term , and when its term cometh , they cannot put it off an hour nor yet advance ( it ) .
7.35 . O Children of Adam! If messengers of your own come unto you who narrate unto you My revelations , then whosoever refraineth from evil and amendeth there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve .
7.36 . But they who deny Our revelations and scorn them such are rightful owners of the Fire ; they will abide therein .
7.37 . Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah or denieth Our tokens . ( For such ) their appointed portion of the Book ( of destiny ) reacheth them till , when Our messengers come to gather them , they say : Where ( now ) is that to which ye cried beside Allah? They say : They have departed from us . And they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers .
7.38 . He saith : Enter into the Fire among nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before you . Every time a nation entereth , it curseth its sister ( nation ) till , when they have all been made to follow one another thither , the last of them saith unto the first of them : Our Lord! These led us astray , so give them double torment of the Fire . He saith : For each one there is double ( torment ) , but ye know not .
7.39 . And the first of them saith unto the last of them : Ye were no whit better than us , so taste the doom for what ye used to earn .
7.40 . Lo! they who deny Our revelations and scorn them , for them the gates of Heaven will not be opened nor will they enter the Garden until the camel goeth through the needle ' s eye . Thus do We requite the guilty .
