Taa-Haa · Surah 20

Then they twain ate thereof, so that their shame became apparent unto them, and they began to hide by heaping on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And Adam disobeyed his Lord, so went astray

Then his Lord chose him, and relented toward him, and guided him

He said: Go down hence, both of you, one of you a foe unto the other. But when there come unto you from Me a guidance, then whoso followeth My guidance, he will not go astray nor come to grief

But he who turneth away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life, and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of Resurrection

He will say: My Lord! Wherefor hast Thou gathered me (hither) blind, when I was wont to see

He will say: So (it must be). Our revelations came unto thee but thou didst forget them. In like manner thou art forgotten this Day

Thus do We reward him who is prodigal and believeth not the revelations of his Lord; and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be sterner and more lasting

Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many a generation We destroyed before them, amid whose dwellings they walk? Lo! therein verily are signs for men of thought

And but for a decree that had already gone forth from thy Lord, and a term already fixed, the judgment would have been inevitable (in this world)

Therefor (O Muhammad), bear with what they say, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord ere the rising of the sun and ere the going down thereof. And glorify Him some hours of the night and at the two ends of the day, that thou mayst find acceptance

And strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoy, the flower of the life of the world, that We may try them thereby. The provision of thy Lord is better and more lasting

And enjoin upon thy people worship, and be constant therein. We ask not of thee a provision: We provided for thee. And the sequel is for righteousness

And they say: If only he would bring us a miracle from his Lord! Hath there not come unto them the proof of what is in the former scriptures

And if we had destroyed them with some punishment before it, they would assuredly have said: Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent unto us a messenger, so that we might have followed Thy revelations before we were (thus) humbled and disgraced

Say: Each is awaiting; so await ye! Ye will come to know who are the owners of the path of equity, and who is right
