Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat al-Muʾminūn is about
Sūrat al-Muʾminūn opens the eighteenth juzʼ and has 118 āyāt. It begins by saying the believers have succeeded (23:1), and describes them: humble in prayer, turning from idle talk, paying zakāh, guarding their chastity, keeping their trusts and their prayers (23:2–9).
It traces the stages of a human being from clay to a drop, a clot and a lump, then bones clothed with flesh (23:12–14). It tells of Nūḥ, Mūsā and Hārūn, and the son of Maryam and his mother (23:23–50). It ends with people who beg to be sent back after death to do good (23:99–100), and with a prayer for forgiveness and mercy (23:118).
- Āyāt 1–11
The believers have succeeded
The believers succeed. They are humble in prayer, turn from idle talk, pay zakāh, guard their chastity, keep their trusts and promises, and guard their prayers. They will inherit al-Firdaws and stay in it forever.
- Āyāt 12–22
From clay to a new creation
A human is made from clay, then a drop, a clot and a lump, then bones clothed with flesh, then brought forth as another creation (23:14). Allah sends water in measure and grows gardens, and a tree from Mount Sinai that gives oil. Cattle give milk, and people are carried on them and on ships.
- Āyāt 23–56
Messengers, and one community
Nūḥ calls his people and is saved in the ship. A later messenger is rejected, and his people are taken by the blast. Mūsā and Hārūn are sent to Firʿawn, and the son of Maryam and his mother are made a sign (23:50). The messengers’ community is one, but people split into sects, each pleased with its own (23:52–53).
- Āyāt 57–77
Those who give with fearful hearts
The believers give while their hearts tremble, knowing they will return to their Lord (23:60). No soul is burdened beyond its capacity (23:62). The others are heedless, and the Prophet asks them for no payment (23:72). Even when seized with punishment, they did not humble themselves before their Lord (23:76).
- Āyāt 78–92
Whose is the earth?
Allah gave people hearing, sight and hearts, yet they are little grateful. Asked whose the earth is, and who is Lord of the seven heavens and the mighty Throne, they will say Allah (23:84–89). Allah has taken no son, and there is no god with Him (23:91).
- Āyāt 93–118
Send me back
The Prophet is told to repel evil with what is better and to seek refuge from the devils (23:96–98). When death comes, the wrongdoer begs to be sent back, but behind him is a barrier until the Day (23:99–100). Those whose scales are heavy succeed (23:102). People were not created without purpose (23:115). The sūrah ends: my Lord, forgive and have mercy (23:118).
