Pickthal:	O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the raiment of restraint fromevil, that is best. This is of the revelations of Allah, that they mayremember.
Shakir:	O children of Adam! We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and (clothing) for beauty andclothing that guards (against evil), that is the best. This is of thecommunications of Allah that they may be mindful.
Yusuf Ali:	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 ofrighteousness,- that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, thatthey may receive admonition!

Ayah: 27
Arabic:	يَا بَنِي آدَمَ لاَ يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ كَمَا أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَاتِهِمَا إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاء لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Pickthal:	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 theirrobe (of innocence) that he might manifest their shame to them. Lo! heseeth you, he and his tribe, from whence ye see him not. Lo! We have madethe devils protecting friends for those who believe not.
Shakir:	O children of Adam! let not the Shaitan cause you to fall into affliction as he expelled your parents from the garden,pulling off from them both their clothing that he might showthem their evil inclinations, he surely sees you, he as well as hishost, from whence you cannot see them; surely We have madethe Shaitans to be the guardians of those who do not believe.
Yusuf Ali:	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 theirraiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from aposition where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) tothose without faith.

Ayah: 28
Arabic:	وَإِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَاحِشَةً قَالُواْ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءنَا وَاللّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاء أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Pickthal:	And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us. Say: Allah, verily, enjoinethnot lewdness. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?
Shakir:	And when they commit an indecency they say: We found our fathers doing this, and Allah has enjoined it on us. Say:Surely Allah does not enjoin indecency; do you say against Allahwhat you do not know?
Yusuf Ali:	When they do aught that is shameful, they say: "We found our fathers doing so"; and "Allah commanded us thus": Say: "Nay, Allah nevercommands what is shameful: do ye say of Allah what ye know not?"

Ayah: 29
Arabic:	قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّي بِالْقِسْطِ وَأَقِيمُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ

Ayah: 30
Arabic:	فَرِيقًا هَدَى وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلاَلَةُ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاء مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
Pickthal:	A party hath He led aright, while error hath just hold over (another) party, for lo! they choose the devils for protecting supportersinstead of Allah and deem that they are rightly guided.
Shakir:	A part has He guided aright and (as for another) part, error is justly their due, surely they took the Shaitans for guardiansbeside Allah, and they think that they are followers of the right
Yusuf Ali:	Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil ones, in preference toAllah, for their friends and protectors, and think that they receiveguidance.

Ayah: 31
Arabic:	يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُواْ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وكُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ وَلاَ تُسْرِفُواْ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
Pickthal:	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 theprodigals.
