English - Chapter 76 - Al-Insan

Has there come upon man a period of time when he was nothing to be mentioned

We guided him to the way, be he appreciative or unappreciative

We have prepared for the faithless chains, and yokes, and a Searing Fire

But the righteous will drink from a cup whose mixture is aroma

A spring from which the servants of God will drink, making it gush abundantly

They fulfill their vows, and dread a Day whose ill is widespread

And they feed, for the love of Him, the poor, and the orphan, and the captive

“We only feed you for the sake of God. We want from you neither compensation, nor gratitude

We dread from our Lord a frowning grim Day.”

So God will protect them from the ills of that Day, and will grant them radiance and joy

And will reward them for their patience with a Garden and silk

Reclining therein on the thrones; experiencing therein neither sun, nor frost

Its shade hovering over them, and its fruit brought low within reach

Passing around them are vessels of silver, and cups of crystal

Crystal of silver—they measured them exactly

They will be served therein with a cup whose flavor is Zanjabeel

A spring therein named Salsabeel

Passing among them are eternalized youths. If you see them, you would think them sprinkled pearls

Wherever you look, you see bliss, and a vast kingdom

Upon them are garments of green silk, and satin. And they will be adorned with bracelets of silver. And their Lord will offer them a pure drink

“This is a reward for you. Your efforts are well appreciated.”

It is We who sent down the Quran upon you—a gradual revelation

So be patient for the decision of your Lord, and do not obey the sinner or the blasphemer among them

And mention the Name of your Lord, morning and evening

And for part of the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him long into the night

As for these: they love the fleeting life, and leave behind a Heavy Day

We created them, and strengthened their frame; and whenever We will, We can replace them with others like them

This is a reminder; so whoever wills, let him take a path to his Lord

Yet you cannot will, unless God wills. God is Knowing and Wise

He admits into His mercy whomever He wills. But as for the wrongdoers, He has prepared for them a painful punishment
