English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

There has come upon man a period of time in which he was nothing worth mentioning

We have created man from a mixed sperm-drop to put him to a test; then We made him able to hear, able to see

We have shown him the way to be either grateful or ungrateful

We have prepared, for the disbelievers, shackles and iron-collars and a blazing Fire

Indeed, the righteous will have a drink from a goblet, blended with (a drink from) Camphor

that will be a spring from which Allah‘s servants will drink, making it flow (wherever they wish) profusely

They (are the ones who) fulfill their vows, and fear a day whose evil (events) will spread far and wide

and they give food, out of their love for Him (Allah), to the needy, and the orphan, and the captive

(saying to them,) .We feed you only for the sake of Allah; we have no intention of (receiving) either a return from you or thanks

In fact, we are fearful of a day, from the side of our Lord, that will be frowning, extremely malignant

So Allah will save them from the evil of that day, and will grant them bloom and delight

and will give them, in return for their patience, Paradise and (garments of) silk

wherein they will be reclining on couches, feeling neither heat of the sun nor intense cold

And shades of gardens will be hanging low on them, and their fruits will be placed totally under their command

Circulated among them will be vessels of silver, and cups that will be (as transparent as) crystals

crystals (as shining as if made) of silver, measured by those (who filled them) with due measure

And they will be served with goblet of a drink blended with ginger

(acquired from) a spring therein called Salsabil

And circling around them will be serving boys, blessed with eternal youth; when you would see them, you would take them as scattered pearls

When you will look around there, you will see the Bliss and a magnificent realm

Upon them will be garments of green sundus (a kind of fine silk), and of istabraq (a kind of thick silk), and they will be adorned by bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give them a pure beverage to drink

This is a reward for you, and your effort has been appreciated

Indeed we have revealed to you the Qur‘an through a gradual process

So, be steadfast patiently in (obeying) your Lord‘s command, and do not obey any one of them who is sinner or ungrateful

And pronounce the name of Allah morning and evening

And in some parts of night prostrate yourself before Him, and pronounce His purity for long times at night

In fact these people love that which is immediate, and neglect a Heavy Day ahead of them

We have created them and have made their joints strong. And whenever We will, We would replace them with others like them, a total replacement

Indeed, this is a reminder; so let anyone who so wishes, adopt a way to his Lord

He admits whomsoever He wills to His mercy. As for the wrongdoers, He has prepared for them a painful punishment
