English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be mentioned

Verily, We have created man from Nutfah drops of mixed semen (discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer, seer

Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful

Verily, the Abrar (pious, who fear Allah and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called Kafur

A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly

They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading

And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive

(Saying): "We feed you seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you

Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislikeness to it)

So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadratan (a light of beauty) and joy

And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient

Reclining therein on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon)

And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach

And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal

Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof according to their wishes

And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabil (ginger, etc)

A spring there, called Salsabil

And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls

And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion

Their garments will be of fine green silk, and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink

(And it will be said to them): "Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavour has been accepted

Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Quran to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages

Therefore be patient (O Muhammad SAW) and submit to the Command of your Lord (Allah, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them

And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers

And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer)

Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard)

It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement

Verily! This (Verses of the Quran) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allah)

But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise

He will admit to His Mercy whom He will and as for the Zalimun, (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) He has prepared a painful torment
