They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we
shall certainly be of the losers." (23) (Allâh) said: "Get down, one of
you is an enemy to the other [i.e. Adam, Hawwa (Eve), and Shaitân (Satan),]. On
earth will be a dwelling-place for you and an enjoyment, - for a time." (24) He said:
"Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall
be brought out (i.e.resurrected)." (25) O Children of Adam! We have bestowed
raiment upon you to cover yourselves (screen your private parts) and as an adornment,
and the raiment of righteousness, that is better. Such are among the Ayât
(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, that
they may remember (i.e. leave falsehood and follow truth[]).
(26) O Children of Adam!
Let not Shaitân (Satan) deceive you, as he got your parents [Adam and Hawwa
(Eve)] out of Paradise, stripping them of
their raiments, to show them their private parts. Verily, he and Qabîluhu (his
soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them.
Verily, We made the Shayâtin (devils) Auliyâ' (protectors and helpers) for
those who believe not. (27) And when they commit a Fâhishah (evil deed, going round
the Ka'bah in naked state, and every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse), they
say: "We found our fathers doing it, and Allâh has commanded it on
us." Say: "Nay, Allâh never commands of Fâhishah. Do you say of Allâh
what you know not? (28) Say (O Muhammad SAW): My Lord has commanded justice and
(said) that you should face Him only (i.e. worship none but Allâh and face the
Qiblah, i.e. the Ka'bah at Makkah during prayers) in every place of worship, in
prayers (and not to face other false deities and idols), and invoke Him only
making your religion sincere to Him (by not joining in worship any partner to
Him and with the intention that you are doing your deeds for Allâh's sake
only). As He brought you (into being) in the beginning, so shall you be brought
into being [on the Day of Resurrection (in two groups, one as a blessed one
(believers), and the other as a wretched one (disbelievers)]. (29) A group He has
guided, and a group deserved to be in error; (because) surely they took the
Shayâtin (devils) as Auliyâ' (protectors and helpers) instead of Allâh, and
think that they are guided. (30)
