English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Surely there hath come upon man a space of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning

Verily We! We created man from a sperm of mixtures, that We might prove him, wherefore We made him hearing, seeing

Verily We! We shewed him the way; then he becometh either thankful or ingrate

Verily We! We have gotten ready for the infidels chains and collars and a Blaze

Verily the pious shall drink of a cup whereof the admixture is like Unto camphor

From a fountain whence the bondmen of Allah will drink, causing it to gush abundantly

They fulfill their vow and dread a Day the evil whereof shall be widespreading

And they feed with food, for love of Him, the needy, and the orphan and the captive

Saying: we feed you only for the sake of Allah; we desire not from you any recompense or thanks

Verily we dread from our Lord a Day grim and distressful

Wherefore Allah shall preserve them from the evil of that Day, and shall cause them to meet brightness and joy

And shall recompense them for that which they patiently bare with a Garden and silken garment

Reclining therein upon couches, they shall behold therein neither sun nor hurting cold

And close upon them will be the shades thereof, and low will hang the clusters thereof greatly

And brought round amongst them will be vessels of silver and also goblets of glass

Godblets of silver, they shall have filled them to exact measure

And therein they shall be given to drink of a cup whereof the admixture will be ginger

From a fountain therein, named Salsabil

And there shall go round Unto them youths ever-young. When thou seest them thou wouldst deem them pearls unstrung

And when thou lookest them thou shalt behold delight and a dominion magnificent

Upon them shall be garments of fine green silk and of brocades. And adorned they shall be with bracelets of silver: and their Lord shall give them drink a beverage pure

Verily We! it is We Who have revealed Unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation

Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate

And remember thou the name of thy Lord in the morning and in the evening

And during the night - worship Him; and hallow Him the livelong night

Verily those love the Herein, and leave in front of them a heavy day

It it We Who creared them and made them firm of make. And whenever We list, We can replace them with others like Unto them

Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever Will, may choose a way Unto his Lord

And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise

He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective
