for servants of the most gracious are they who walk gently on earth and who whenever the foolish address them reply with peace and who remember their sustainer far into the night prostrating themselves and standing and who pray o our sustainer avert from us the suffering of hell for verily the suffering caused by it is bound to be a torment dire verily how evil an abode and a station! and who whenever they spend on others are neither wasteful nor niggardly but there is always a just mean between those and who never invoke any deity side by side with god and do not take any human beings life which god has willed to be sacred otherwise than in justice and do not commit adultery. and he who commits aught thereof shall meet with a full requital
وعباد الرحمن الذين يمشون على الأرض هونا وإذا خاطبهم الجاهلون قالوا سلاما والذين يبيتون لربهم سجدا وقياما والذين يقولون ربنا اصرف عنا عذاب جهنم إن عذابها كان غراما إنها ساءت مستقرا ومقاما والذين إذا أنفقوا لم يسرفوا ولم يقتروا وكان بين ذلك قواما والذين لا يدعون مع الله إلها آخر ولا يقتلون النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق ولا يزنون ومن يفعل ذلك يلق أثاما
