| هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا {١} |
1. Indeed there has been a time for man, when even his name did not exist anywhere. |
| إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا {٢} |
2. Indeed We have created man from mixed semen; in order to test him – We therefore made him hearing, knowing. |
| إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا {٣} |
3. We have indeed shown him the way - whether he is grateful or ingrate. |
| إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا {٤} |
4. We have indeed kept prepared chains, and shackles and a blazing fire for the disbelievers. |
| إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا {٥} |
5. Indeed the virtuous will drink from a cup, containing a mixture of Kafoor. |
| عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا {٦} |
6. The Kafoor is a spring, from which the chosen bondmen of Allah will drink, causing it to flow wherever they wish inside their palaces. |
| يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا {٧} |
7. They fulfil their pledges, and fear a day the evil of which is widespread. |
| وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا {٨} |
8. And out of His love, they give food to the needy, the orphan and the prisoner. |
| إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا {٩} |
9. They say to them, “We give you food, only for the sake of Allah - we do not seek any reward or thanks from you.” |
| إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا {١٠} |
10. “Indeed we fear from our Lord a day which is extremely bitter, most severe.” |
| فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا {١١} |
11. So Allah saved them from the evil of that day, and gave them freshness and joy. |
| وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا {١٢} |
12. And gave them Paradise and silk clothes, as a reward for their patience. |
| مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۖ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا {١٣} |
13. Reclining in it, upon thrones; they will not see the hot sunshine in it, nor the bitter cold. |
| وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا {١٤} |
14. And its shade will cover them, and its fruit clusters brought down low for them. |
| وَيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآنِيَةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ كَانَتْ قَوَارِيرَا {١٥} |
15. Rounds of silver cups and silver beakers, looking like glass, will be presented upon them. |
| قَوَارِيرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِيرًا {١٦} |
16. Glass made from silver, which the servers have filled up to the measure. |
| وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنْجَبِيلًا {١٧} |
17. And in Paradise they will be given to drink cups, filled with a mixture of ginger. |
| عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلْسَبِيلًا {١٨} |
18. Which is a spring in Paradise called Salsabeel. |
| وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَنْثُورًا {١٩} |
19. Immortal youths shall surround them, waiting upon them; when you see them, you would think they are scattered pearls. |
| وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا {٢٠} |
20. And when you look towards it, you will see serenity and a great kingdom. |
| عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُنْدُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا {٢١} |
21. In it they adorn clothes of fine green silk and gold embroidery; and they are given silver bracelets to wear; and their Lord gave them pure wine to drink. |
| إِنَّ هَٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَشْكُورًا {٢٢} |
22. It will be said to them, “This is your reward – indeed your efforts have been appreciated.” |
| إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلًا {٢٣} |
23. Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages. |
| فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا {٢٤} |
24. Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them. |
| وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا {٢٥} |
25. And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. |
| وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا {٢٦} |
26. And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night. |
| إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا {٢٧} |
27. Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them. |
| نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا {٢٨} |
28. It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will. |
| إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا {٢٩} |
29. This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord. |
| وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا {٣٠} |
30. And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise. |
| يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَالظَّالِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا {٣١} |
31. He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment. |
