Al Insaan

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered ?

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

2 Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing.

2 Inna khalaqna alinsana min nutfatin amshajin nabtaleehi fajaAAalnahu sameeAAan baseeran

3 Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving.

3 Inna hadaynahu alssabeela imma shakiran waimma kafooran

4 Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire.

4 Inna aAAtadna lilkafireena salasila waaghlalan wasaAAeeran

5 Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur,

5 Inna alabrara yashraboona min kasin kana mizajuha kafooran

6 A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly,

6 AAaynan yashrabu biha AAibadu Allahi yufajjiroonaha tafjeeran

7 (Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide - spreading,

7 Yoofoona bialnnathri wayakhafoona yawman kana sharruhu mustateeran

8 And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him,

8 WayutAAimona alttaAAama AAala hubbihi miskeenan wayateeman waaseeran

9 (Saying): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you;

9 Innama nutAAimukum liwajhi Allahi la nureedu minkum jazaan wala shukooran

10 Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.

10 Inna nakhafu min rabbina yawman AAaboosan qamtareeran

11 Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy;

11 Fawaqahumu Allahu sharra thalika alyawmi walaqqahum nadratan wasurooran

12 And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire;

12 Wajazahum bima sabaroo jannatan wahareeran

13 Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold.

13 Muttakieena feeha AAala alaraiki la yarawna feeha shamsan wala zamhareeran

14 The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down.

14 Wadaniyatan AAalayhim thilaluha wathullilat qutoofuha tathleelan

15 Goblets of silver are brought round for them, and beakers (as) of glass

15 Wayutafu AAalayhim bianiyatin min fiddatin waakwabin kanat qawareera

16 (Bright as) glass but (made) of silver, which they (themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds).

16 Qawareera min fiddatin qaddarooha taqdeeran

17 There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil,

17 Wayusqawna feeha kasan kana mizajuha zanjabeelan

18 (The water of) a spring therein, named Salsabil.

18 AAaynan feeha tusamma salsabeelan

19 There wait on them immortal youths, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls.

19 Wayatoofu AAalayhim wildanun mukhalladoona itha raaytahum hasibtahum luluan manthooran

20 When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate.

20 Waitha raayta thamma raayta naAAeeman wamulkan kabeeran

21 Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink.

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

22 (And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance.

22 Inna hatha kana lakum jazaan wakana saAAyukum mashkooran

23 Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation;

23 Inna nahnu nazzalna AAalayka alqurana tanzeelan

24 So submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever.

24 Faisbir lihukmi rabbika wala tutiAA minhum athiman aw kafooran

25 Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening.

25 Waothkuri isma rabbika bukratan waaseelan

26 And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night.

26 Wamina allayli faosjud lahu wasabbihhu laylan taweelan

27 Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day.

27 Inna haolai yuhibboona alAAajilata wayatharoona waraahum yawman thaqeelan

28 We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead.

28 Nahnu khalaqnahum washadadna asrahum waitha shina baddalna amthalahum tabdeelan

29 Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord.

29 Inna hathihi tathkiratun faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi sabeelan

30 Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.

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

31 He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil - doers hath prepared a painful doom.

31 Yudkhilu man yashao fee rahmatihi waalththalimeena aAAadda lahum AAathaban aleeman
