English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Surely We created man from a sperm-drop, a mingling, trying him; so We made him constantly hearing, constantly beholding

Surely We have guided him upon the way, whether he be thankful or most disbelieving

Surely We have readied for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a Blaze

Surely the benign will drink of a cup whose blend is camphor

A spring whereat drink the bondmen of Allah, making it to gush forth with plenteous gushing (i.e., abundantly)

They fulfill (their) vows and fear a Day whose evil is spread all over

And they give food (Literally: feed with food) for the love of Him, (Or: love of it) to the indigent, (and) the orphan, and the captive

Surely we feed you only for the Face of Allah. We would not have any recompense from you, nor thankfulness

Surely we fear from our Lord a most frowning Day most inauspicious

So, Allah has protected them from the evil of that Day and has granted (Literally: made them receive) them bloom and pleasure

And He has recompensed them for (enduring) patiently with a Garden and silk

Reclining therein upon couches, therein they will see neither sun nor bitter cold

And the shades thereof will be close upon them, and its picked fruits brought meekly low with all meekness

And there will be passed round for them vessels of silver and goblets that were (designed) of crystals

Crystals of silver that they have determined its (measure), an exact determination

And they are given to drink therein a cup whose blend is ginger

Therein is a spring whose name is (called) Salsabil

And eternalized all-young men go round them; when you see them, you reckon them as strewn pearls

And when you see (them) hence, you see bliss and a great kingdom

Their upper (covering) will be green clothes of sarcenet and brocade, and they are ornamented with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them to drink a drink most pure

Surely (it will be said), "This is duly yours as a recompense, and your endeavor is (also) to be thanked

Surely We, Ever We, have been sending down the Qur'an on you, a successive sending down

So (endure) patiently under the Judgment of your Lord, and do not obey one of them, vicious or most disbelieving

And remember the Name of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset

And (part) of the night; so prostrate yourself to Him, and extol Him through the long night

Surely these (people) love the hasty (world) and leave behind them a heavy Day

We, Ever We, created them, and We have upheld their frames; and when We (so) decide, We will exchange their likes, an (easy) exchange

Surely this is a Reminder; so whoever decides, (may) take (to himself) a way to his Lord

And in no way can you (Literally: mankind) decide unless Allah (so) decides; surely Allah has been Ever-Knowing, Ever-Wise

He causes whomever He decides to enter into His mercy; and for the unjust (ones) He has prepared a painful torment
