English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Was there not a period of time when man was not a thing [even] mentioned

Indeed, We created man from a drop of mixed fluids, in order to test him. So We gave him hearing and sight

Indeed, We showed him the way, whether he is grateful or ungrateful

We have surely prepared for the disbelievers chains, shackles, and a Blazing Fire

Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] flavored with camphor

a spring from which Allah’s slaves will drink, which will flow as they wish

They fulfill their vows and fear a Day whose evil will spread far and wide

and they give food, despite their love for it, to the needy, the orphans, and the captives

[saying to themselves] “We feed you only for the sake of Allah; we seek from you neither reward nor gratitude

We fear from our Lord a grim and distressful Day.”

So Allah will protect them from the evil of that Day, and will grant them radiance and delight

and will reward them for their perseverance with Paradise and garments of silk

They will recline therein on adorned couches; neither feeling scorching heat nor freezing cold

They will be served frequently with silver vessels and crystal cups

crystalline goblets of silver, filled precisely as desired

They will be given a glass [of wine] flavored with ginger

from a spring therein called Salsabīl

They will be served by eternal young boys; if you see them, you would think that they are scattered pearls

If you were to look around, you would see bliss and a vast dominion

They will be dressed in garments of fine green silk and rich brocade, and will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink

[And they will be told,] “Indeed, this is your reward, and your efforts have been appreciated.”

Indeed, it is We Who have sent down the Qur’an to you in stages

So be patient with your Lord’s decree, and do not obey any sinner or disbeliever from among them

And remember the Name of your Lord morning and evening

and prostrate to Him at night, and glorify Him at length by night

Indeed, these [pagans] love this fleeting life and pay no heed to a heavy Day ahead of them

It is We Who created them and strengthened their build. If We will, We can replace them with others like them

Indeed, this is a reminder; so let anyone who wills may take a way to his Lord

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

He admits whom He wills into His mercy, but for the wrongdoers He has prepared a painful punishment
