Ayat on the week

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَ(7)

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا (8)

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا(9)

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا(10)

Artinya:
Dengan menyebut nama Allah yang maha pengasih lagi maha penyayang

dan jiwa serta penyempurnaannya (ciptaannya), (7)
maka Allah mengilhamkan kepada jiwa itu (jalan) kefasikan dan ketakwaannya.(8)
sesungguhnya beruntunglah orang yang mensucikan jiwa itu,(9)
dan sesungguhnya merugilah orang yang mengotorinya. (10)

Translation:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; (7)
Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; (8)
Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds). (9)
And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, etc. or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds). (10)
