English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Has there come on man a while of time when he was a thing unremembered

We created man of a sperm-drop, a mingling, and We made him hearing, seeing

Surely We guided him upon the way whether he be thankful or unthankful

Surely We have prepared for the unbelievers chains, fetters, and a Blaze

Surely the pious shall drink of a cup whose mixture is camphor

a fountain whereat drink the servants of God, making it to gush forth plenteously

They fulfil their vows, and fear a day whose evil is upon the wing

they give food, for the love of Him, to the needy, the orphan, the captive

We feed you only for the Face of God; we desire no recompense from you, no thankfulness

for we fear from our Lord a frowning day, inauspicious

and recompensed them for their patience with a Garden, and silk

therein they shall recline upon couches, therein they shall see neither sun nor bitter cold

near them shall be its shades, and its clusters hung meekly down

and there shall be passed around them vessels of silver, and goblets of crystal

crystal of silver that they have measured -- very exactly

And therein they shall be given to drink a cup whose mixture is ginger

therein a fountain whose name is called Salsabil

Immortal youths shall go about them; when thou seest them, thou supposest them scattered pearls

when thou seest them then thou seest bliss and a great kingdom

Upon them shall be green garments of silk and brocade; they are adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord shall give them to drink a pure draught

Behold, this is a recompense for you, and your striving is thanked

Surely We have sent down the Koran on thee, a sending down

so be thou patient under the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not one of them, sinner or unbeliever

And remember the Name of thy Lord at dawn and in the evening

and part of the night; bow down before Him and magnify Him through the long night

Surely these men love the hasty world, and leave be behind them a heavy day

We created them, and We strengthened their joints; and, when We will, We shall exchange their likes

Surely this is a Reminder; so he who will, takes unto his Lord a way

But you will not unless God wills; surely God is ever All-knowing, All-wise

For He admits into His mercy whomsoever He will; as for the evildoers, He has prepared for them a painful chastisement
