The Majestic Quran

tasting the fruit of the tree, they became aware of their nakedness and began to cover themselves with the leaves of the trees of Paradise. Their Lord called out to them, “Didn’t I forbid you from going near that tree and warned you Satan is your open enemy?” A E G ’ 23 Both said, “Our Lord, we’ve wronged ourselves. If You don’t forgive us and treat us kindly we will be the losers.” 24 God said, “Get down from here , each of you the enemy of the other . 88 On Earth you shall have a home for a while and a means of livelihood, 25 there you will live and die, and eventually be raised from it.” C 26 Children of Adam, We’ve inspired you to wear clothing to look beautiful and to cover your nakedness , 89 and the clothing of piety is the best. That is one of God’s signs to humans , so they may pay attention. 27 Children of Adam, don’t let Satan tempt you as he tempted your parents and had them expelled from Paradise, stripping them of their clothes, exposing their nakedness. He and his type watch you from a place where you can’t see them. We made those demons the friends of disbelievers. 28 Whenever they perform an act of indecency, they say, “We found our forefathers doing it; God has ordered us to do it.” Say: “God does not order acts of indecency. You are saying things about God that you don’t know? ” 90 S G 29 Messenger , say: “My Lord orders you to be just; turn your faces towards Him at all time in places of worship , 91 and call upon Him, reserving your worship for Him alone. As He created you, so you shall return to Him .” 30 God guided one group, whilst He let the other group go astray because they took devils as protectors instead of God, thinking they were rightly guided. 31 Children of Adam, dress beautifully when attending the place of worship, and eat and drink, but don’t squander; He dislikes the squanderers. 32 Say: “Who has forbidden the adornment which God has produced for His servants, along with the provision of healthy foods?” Say: “It is for those who believed in God and the Last Day during this worldly life, reserved for them alone to wear on Judgement Day.” This is how We explain Our signs for people who know.
