M.Pickthall
26. O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and
splendid vesture, but the raiment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of
the revelations of Allah, that they may remember.
Yusuf Ali
26. O ye children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame as
well as to be an adornment to you but the raiment of righteousness that is the best.
Such are among the signs of Allah that they may receive admonition!
M.Pickthall
27. O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused your (first) parents to
go forth from the Garden and tore off from them their robe (of innocence) that be
might manifest their shame to them. Lo! he seeth you, he and his tribe, from whence
ye see him not. Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not.
Yusuf Ali
27. O ye children of Adam! let not satan seduce you in the same manner as he got your
parents out of the garden stripping them of their raiment to expose their shame: for
he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil
ones friends (only) to those without faith.
M.Pickthall
28. And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers doing it and Allah
hath enjoined it on us. Say: Allah, verily, enjoineth not lewdness. Tell ye concerning
Allah that which ye know not?
Yusuf Ali
28. When they do aught that is shameful they say: "We found our fathers doing so"; and
"Allah commanded us thus": say: "Nay Allah never commands what is shameful: do ye say
of Allah what ye know not?"
M.Pickthall
29. Say: My Lord enjoineth justice. And set your faces, upright (toward Him) at every
place of worship and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him (only). As He brought
you into being, so return ye (unto Him).
Yusuf Ali
29. Say: "My Lord hath commanded justice; and that ye set your whole selves (to him)
at every time and place of prayer and call upon him making your devotion sincere as
in his sight: such as he created you in the beginning so shall ye return."
M.Pickthall
30. A party hath He led aright, while error hath just hold over (another) party, for
lo! they choose the devils for protecting friends instead of Allah and deem that they
are rightly guided.
Yusuf Ali
30. Some He hath guided: others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way:
in that they took the evil ones in preference to Allah for their friends and protectors
and think that they receive guidance.
M.Pickthall
31. O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship, and eat and
drink, but be not prodigal. Lo! He loveth not the prodigals.
Yusuf Ali
31. O children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer:
eat and drink: but waste not by excess for Allah loveth not the wasters.
