In the name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1. Has there
not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even)
mentioned?
2. Verily We
created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him
(the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
3. We showed
him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
4. For the
Rejecters we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire.
5. As to the
Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,-
6. A Fountain
where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance.
7. They perform
(their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
8. And they
feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-
9.
(Saying),"We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire
from you, nor thanks.
10. "We
only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
11. But Allah
will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of
Beauty and (blissful) Joy.
12. And because
they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments
of) silk.
13. Reclining in
the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's
(excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold.
14. And the
shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit),
there, will hang low in humility.
15. And amongst
them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,-
16.
Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof
(according to their wishes).
17. And they
will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil,-
18. A fountain
there, called Salsabil.
19. And round
about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them,
thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
20. And when
thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
21. Upon them
will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned
with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine
Pure and Holy.
22. "Verily
this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised."
23. It is We Who
have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages.
24. Therefore be
patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the
sinner or the ingrate among them.
25. And
celebrate the name or thy Lord morning and evening,
26. And part of
the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through.
27. As to these,
they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be)
hard.
28. It is We Who
created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can
substitute the like of them by a complete change.
29. This is an
admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord.
30. But ye will
not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
31. He will
admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared
a grievous Penalty.
