Glorious is the One who made stellar formations in the sky and placed therein a lamp (sun) and a bright moon.

And He is the One who made the day and the night following each other, for the one who wishes to be mindful or wishes to show gratitude.

And the slaves of the Rahman are those who walk on the earth humbly and when the ignorant people speak to them, they reply peacefully,

and those who pass the night prostrating and standing before their Lord,

and those who say, "Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Jahannam; indeed, its punishment is a persisting affliction.

Indeed, evil it is as an abode and a place to dwell in

- and those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor miserly, and it (i.e. their spending) is moderate in between (the two extremes)

- and those who do not invoke any other god along with Allah, and do not kill a person whom Allah has given sanctity, except rightfully, nor do they fornicate; and whoever does it, shall face the recompense of his sin,

] the punishment will be doubled for him and he will remain there disdained, forever,

except the one who repents and believes and does good deeds, then Allah will change the bad deeds of such people into good ones, and Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
