Al�Insaan

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was not a thing worth mentioning?

1 Hal ata AAala alinsani heenun mina alddahri lam yakun shayan mathkooran

2 Verily, We have created man from Nutfah (drops) of mixed semen (sexual discharge of man and woman), in order to try him: so We made him hearer and seer.

2 Inna khalaqna alinsana min nutfatin amshajin nabtaleehi fajaAAalnahu sameeAAan baseeran

3 Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.

3 Inna hadaynahu alssabeela imma shakiran waimma kafooran

4 Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire.

4 Inna aAAtadna lilkafireena salasila waaghlalan wasaAAeeran

5 Verily,, the Abrar (the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism), shall drink of a cup mixed with (water from a spring in Paradise called) Kafur

5 Inna alabrara yashraboona min kasin kana mizajuha kafooran

6 A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly.

6 AAaynan yashrabu biha AAibadu Allahi yufajjiroonaha tafjeeran

7 They (are those who) fulfil (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading.

7 Yoofoona bialnnathri wayakhafoona yawman kana sharruhu mustateeran

8 And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to the Miskin (the poor), the orphan, and the captive

8 WayutAAimona alttaAAama AAala hubbihi miskeenan wayateeman waaseeran

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

9 Innama nutAAimukum liwajhi Allahi la nureedu minkum jazaan wala shukooran

10 "Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislike to it)."

10 Inna nakhafu min rabbina yawman AAaboosan qamtareeran

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

11 Fawaqahumu Allahu sharra thalika alyawmi walaqqahum nadratan wasurooran

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

12 Wajazahum bima sabaroo jannatan wahareeran

13 Reclining therein on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon).

13 Muttakieena feeha AAala alaraiki la yarawna feeha shamsan wala zamhareeran

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

14 Wadaniyatan AAalayhim thilaluha wathullilat qutoofuha tathleelan

15 And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal -

15 Wayutafu AAalayhim bianiyatin min fiddatin waakwabin kanat qawareera

16 Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).

16 Qawareera min fiddatin qaddarooha taqdeeran

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

17 Wayusqawna feeha kasan kana mizajuha zanjabeelan

18 A spring there, called Salsabil.

18 AAaynan feeha tusamma salsabeelan

19 And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls.

19 Wayatoofu AAalayhim wildanun mukhalladoona itha raaytahum hasibtahum luluan manthooran

20 And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.

20 Waitha raayta thamma raayta naAAeeman wamulkan kabeeran

21 Their garments will be of fine green silk, and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink.

21 AAaliyahum thiyabu sundusin khudrun waistabraqun wahulloo asawira min fiddatin wasaqahum rabbuhum sharaban tahooran

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

22 Inna hatha kana lakum jazaan wakana saAAyukum mashkooran

23 Verily, it is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) by stages.

23 Inna nahnu nazzalna AAalayka alqurana tanzeelan

24 Therefore be patient (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with constancy to the Command of your Lord (Allah, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them.

24 Faisbir lihukmi rabbika wala tutiAA minhum athiman aw kafooran

25 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers].

25 Waothkuri isma rabbika bukratan waaseelan

26 And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer).

26 Wamina allayli faosjud lahu wasabbihhu laylan taweelan

27 Verily, these (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard).

27 Inna haolai yuhibboona alAAajilata wayatharoona waraahum yawman thaqeelan

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

28 Nahnu khalaqnahum washadadna asrahum waitha shina baddalna amthalahum tabdeelan

29 Verily, this (Verse of the Qur'an) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allah).

29 Inna hathihi tathkiratun faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi sabeelan

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

30 Wama tashaoona illa an yashaa Allahu inna Allaha kana AAaleeman hakeeman

31 He will admit to His Mercy whom He wills and as for the Zalimun - (polytheists, wrong-doers) He has prepared a painful torment.

31 Yudkhilu man yashao fee rahmatihi waalththalimeena aAAadda lahum AAathaban aleeman
