English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was not a thing worth mentioning

Verily, We have created man from Nutfah Amshaj, in order to try him, so, We made him hearer and seer

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

Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and Sa`ir

Verily, the Abrar (righteous believers) shall drink of a cup mixed with Kafur

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

And they give food, inspite of their love for it, to the poor, the orphan and the captive

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

Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day that is `Abus and Qamtarir

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

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

Reclining therein on raised couches, they will see there neither the excessive heat, nor the excessive cold

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

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

(Qawarir) Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof

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

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 Istabraq. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink

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

Verily, it is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to you by stages

Therefore be patient with constancy to the command of your Lord, and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them

And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon

And during the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him a long night through

Verily, these love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day

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

Verily, this is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a path to his Lord

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

He will admit to His mercy whom He wills and as for the wrongdoers -- He has prepared a painful torment
