23. Muminun · verses 2–9

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي صَلَاتِهِمۡ خَٰشِعُونَ

Allatheena hum fee salatihim khashiAAoona

Those who humble themselves in their prayers;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَنِ ٱللَّغۡوِ مُعۡرِضُونَ

Waallatheena hum AAani allaghwi muAAridoona

Who avoid vain talk;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَٰعِلُونَ

Waallatheena hum lilzzakati faAAiloona

Who are active in deeds of charity;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ

Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

Who abstain from sex,

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ

Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena

Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame,

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ

Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona

But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors;-

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ

Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona

Those who faithfully observe their trusts and their covenants;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ

Waallatheena hum AAala salawatihim yuhafithoona

And who (strictly) guard their prayers;-
