আল ইনসান (মানুষ)

1 Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?

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 ?

2 Indeed, We created man from a sperm - drop mixture that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.

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

3 Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.

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

4 Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze.

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

5 Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kafur,

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

6 A spring of which the [righteous] servants of Allah will drink; they will make it gush forth in force [and abundance].

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

7 They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.

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

8 And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,

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

9 [Saying], "We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.

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

10 Indeed, We fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful."

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

11 So Allah will protect them from the evil of that Day and give them radiance and happiness

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

12 And will reward them for what they patiently endured [with] a garden [in Paradise] and silk [garments].

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

13 [They will be] reclining therein on adorned couches. They will not see therein any [burning] sun or [freezing] cold.

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

14 And near above them are its shades, and its [fruit] to be picked will be lowered in compliance.

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

15 And there will be circulated among them vessels of silver and cups having been [created] clear [as glass],

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

16 Clear glasses [made] from silver of which they have determined the measure.

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

17 And they will be given to drink a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of ginger

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

18 [From] a fountain within Paradise named Salsabeel.

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

19 There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them [as beautiful as] scattered pearls.

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

20 And when you look there [in Paradise], you will see pleasure and great dominion.

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

21 Upon the inhabitants will be green garments of fine silk and brocade. And they will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.

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.

22 [And it will be said], "Indeed, this is for you a reward, and your effort has been appreciated."

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

23 Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Qur'an progressively.

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

24 So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever].

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

25 And mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening

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

26 And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt Him a long [part of the] night.

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

27 Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day.

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

28 We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration.

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.

29 Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way.

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

30 And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.

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

31 He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment.

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