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.

Moses prayed: "Our Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of the present, and so, Our Lord, they mislead (men) from Thy Path. Deface our Lord, the features of their wealth, and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe until they see the grievous penalty."

That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.

They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested.

So he went forth among his people in the (pride of his wordly) glitter. Said those whose aim is the Life of this World: "Oh! that we had the like of what Qarun has got! for he is truly a lord of mighty good fortune!"

And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.

Wealth and sons are allurements of the life of this world: But the things that endure, good deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best as (the foundation for) hopes.

The life of this world is alluring to those who reject faith, and they scoff at those who believe. But the righteous will be above them on the Day of Resurrection; for Allah bestows His abundance without measure on whom He will.

Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).

Can he who was dead, to whom We gave life, and a light whereby he can walk amongst men, be like him who is in the depths of darkness, from which he can never come out? Thus to those without faith their own deeds seem pleasing.

Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.

When trouble toucheth a man, He crieth unto Us (in all postures)- lying down on his side, or sitting, or standing. But when We have solved his trouble, he passeth on his way as if he had never cried to Us for a trouble that touched him! thus do the deeds of transgressors seem fair in their eyes!

Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: "But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.

Is he, then, to whom the evil of his conduct is made alluring, so that he looks upon it as good, (equal to one who is rightly guided)? For Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So let not thy soul go out in (vainly) sighing after them: for Allah knows well all that they do!

"The ways and means of (reaching) the heavens, and that I may mount up to the god of Moses: But as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!" Thus was made alluring, in Pharaoh's eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the Path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).

Is then one who is on a clear (Path) from his Lord, no better than one to whom the evil of his conduct seems pleasing, and such as follow their own lusts?

阿丹的子孙啊！-逢礼拜，你们必须穿著服饰。你们应当吃，应当喝，但不要过分，真主确是不喜欢过分者的。

穆萨说：“我们的主啊！你把各种装饰品和今世生活的各种财产给予法老和他的贵族们--我们的主啊！--以致他们使民众背离你的大道。我们的主啊！求你毁掉他们的财产，求你封闭他们的心。但愿他们不信道，直到看见痛苦的刑罚。”

我确已使大地上的一切事物成为大地的装饰品，以便我考验世人，看谁的工作是最优美的。

他们说：“我们没有自愿地违背对你的约言， 但我们把（埃及人的）许多首饰携带出来，觉得很沉重，我们就抛下了那些首饰，撒米里也同样抛下了（他所携带的首饰）。”

戈伦曾盛装出游，以豪华夸示自己的宗族。爱今世生活的人说：“但愿我们获得戈伦所获得的（财富），他确是有大福分的。”

你对信女们说，叫她们降低视线，遮蔽下身，莫露出首饰， 除非自然露出的，叫她们用面纱遮住胸膛，末露出首饰，除非对她们的丈夫，或她们的父亲，或她们的丈夫的父亲，或她们的儿子，或她们的丈夫的儿子，或她们的兄弟，或她们弟兄的儿子，或她们姐妹的儿子，或她们的女仆，或她们的奴婢，或无性欲的男仆，或不懂妇女之事的儿童；叫她们不要用力踏足，使人得知她们所隐藏的首饰。信士们啊！你们应全体向真主悔罪，以便你们成功。

财产和后嗣是今世生活的装饰；常存的善功，在你的主看来，是报酬更好的，是希望更大的。

不信道的人，为今世的生活所迷惑，他们嘲笑信道者，复活日，敬畏者将在他们之上；真主将无量地供给他所意欲者。

迷惑世人的，是令人爱好的事物，如妻子，儿女，金银，宝藏，骏马，牲畜，禾稼等。这些是今世生活的享受；而真主那里，却有优美的归宿。

一个人，原是死的，但我使他复活，并给他一道光明，带著在人间行走，难道他与那在重重黑暗中绝不走入光明的人是一样的吗？不信道的人，这样为他们的行为所迷惑。

展缓禁月，适足以增加迷信，不信道的人们，因此而迷误。他们今年犯禁，明年守禁，以便符合真主所禁的月数，而犯了真主所禁的月份；他们为自己的恶行所迷惑。真主是不引导不信道的民众的。

当人遭遇灾害的时候，便卧著、或坐著、或站著向我祈祷。等我解除他们的灾害后，他们就继续作恶，彷佛不曾祈求我解除他们的灾害一样。过分的人们是这样为他们的行为所迷惑的。

监视每个灵魂的谋求者，难道像那不能监视的吗？他们为真主树立了许多伙伴，你说：“你们指出他们的名称吧。难道你们把真主在大地上所不知道的告诉他吗？不然，你们据浮辞而称他们为真主的伙伴。”不然，不信道者，已为自己的计谋所迷惑了。他们被阻挠而不能入正道。真主使谁迷误，谁就没有向导。

为自己的恶行所迷惑，因而认恶为善者，象真主所引导的人吗？真主必使他所意欲者误入迷途，必使他所意欲者遵循正道，所以你不要为哀悼他们而丧生，真主确是全知他们的行为的。

天上的线索，因而能窥见穆萨的神灵；我确信他是一个说谎者。”法老的恶行，这样迷惑了自己，妨碍了他走上正道。法老的计策，只归于毁灭。

依据从主降示的明证者，与那为自己的恶行所迷惑，而且顺从私欲者是一样的吗？
