O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan Seduce U

[1304035; Holy Quran, sony sugema digital quran 3.0]

Allah says, “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness,- that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition!

O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he & his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.

When they do aught that is shameful, they say: "We found our fathers doing so"; & "Allah commanded us thus": Say: "Nay, Allah never commands what is shameful: do ye say of Allah what ye know not?"

Say: "My Lord hath commanded justice; & that ye set your whole selves (to Him) at every time & place of prayer, & call upon Him, making your devotion sincere as in His sight: such as He created you in the beginning, so shall ye return."

Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil ones, in preference to Allah, for their friends & protectors, & think that they receive guidance.

O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time & place of prayer: eat & drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters.

Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of Allah, which He hath produced for His servants, & the things, clean & pure, (which He hath provided) for sustenance? Say: They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (&) purely for them on the Day of Judgment. Thus do We explain the signs in detail for those who understand.

Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins & trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; & saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.

To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation).

O ye Children of Adam! whenever there come to you messengers from amongst you, rehearsing My signs unto you,- those who are righteous & mend (their lives),- on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.

But those who reject Our signs & treat them with arrogance,- they are companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for ever).“  [HQ Al-A’raf 7:26-36]
