English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Has there passed over the human being a portion from the passing time when he becomes not an item mentioned (to somebody)

Surely, We created the human being out of Nutfah mixed (with male and female discharge). We (put him to test and trial as We) test him. So We made him (as) one who hears (and) one who sees

Verily, We guided him to The Path, whether (he be) grateful, and whether (he be) ungrateful

Truly, We have arranged for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars and a blazing Fire

Surely Al-Abrar shall drink from (the contents of) a cup whose component (would be) camphor

(its source being) a spring: Ibad of Allah shall have a drink thereof; they will make it gush forth — flowing with full force

They (had been such people who) implement (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil (would be) widespread

and they provide the food, out of love and regard for Him to the indigent, and orphan or weak and a captive

(saying): “Surely, what (is a fact is that) we feed you for the attention and pleasure of Allah. We do not wish from you anything in exchange as a reward, and nor thanks

Verily, we fear from our Nourisher-Sustainer a Day extremely distressful, tremendously horrible.”

So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day and He provided them cheerfulness and joy

And their reward because of that which they bore in patience (would be) Garden and (raiments of) silk

Reclining ones therein on sofas. They shall not experience therein (the presence of the) sun, and nor excessive or bitter cold

And the shades thereof (are as if) coming down over them; and the clusters (of fruits) thereof have been made to come down (over them) to an extreme lowering

And repeatedly will be passed over them vessels (and jugs made) of silver and cups (which) appeared (like) crystals

crystals of silver. They took a measure of it measuring (it as they desired)

And they would be made to drink therein a cup whose one component came to be ginger

A spring therein (fills this cup). It has been allotted the name Salsabil

And will move all around them boys (of everlasting youthful freshness). When you noticed them you assessed them scattered pearls

And when you noticed, then and there, you noticed delights and a tremendous dominion

Over them, overgarments of Sundus (fine silk) and Istabraq (brocade). And they would be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Nourisher-Sustainer made them drink a purified, sanctified drink

(They will be told): “Truly, this became unto you a reward, and your endeavour stands appreciated and fully thanked.”

Verily We, We, We have sent down unto you Al-Quran descending gradually (in portions, and after intervals)

So be steadfast regarding Hukm (‘Ordainment’) of your Nourisher-Sustainer; and do not obey among them a sinner or a disbeliever

And remind (yourself and remind others) the Name of your Nourisher-Sustainer (in the) morning and the late-afternoon (in your Fajr and Asr Prayers)

And in a portion of the night: so prostrate for Him and glorify Him long night through — (at the start of the night in Maghrib Prayer, at the darkness of the night in Isha Prayer, and in late or terminal part of the night in supererogatory Tahajjud Prayer)

Surely, all these contemporary people intensely desire the swiftly passing event (i.e., the life-span of this immediate world), and they overlook behind them a heavy Day (i.e., the Day of Accountability)

We, We have created them and We strengthened their bony-joints. And whenever We thought proper We brought in (their) place similar to them as a complete replacement

Certainly, this is Tazkirah. So whoever desired he picked up the path towards his Nourisher-Sustainer

And you desire not except if Allah (so) wills. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise

He admits to whom He thinks proper in His Mercy. And the transgressors — He has established for them a painful torment
