| هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا {١} |
1. WAS THERE NOT a time in the life of man when he was not even a mentionable thing? |
| إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا {٢} |
2. Verily We created man from a sperm yoked (to the ovum) to bring out his real substance, then gave him hearing and sight. |
| إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا {٣} |
3. We surely showed him the way that he may either be grateful or deny. |
| إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا {٤} |
4. We have prepared for unbelievers chains and collars and a blazing fire. |
| إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا {٥} |
5. Surely the devotees will drink cups flavoured with palm blossoms |
| عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا {٦} |
6. From a spring of which the votaries of God will drink and make it flow in abundance. |
| يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا {٧} |
7. Those who fulfil their vows and fear the Day whose evil shall be diffused far and wide, |
| وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا {٨} |
8. And feed the needy for the love of Him, and the orphans and the captives, |
| إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا {٩} |
9. (Saying): "We feed you for the sake of God, desiring neither recompense nor thanks. |
| إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا {١٠} |
10. We fear the dismal day calamitous from our Lord." |
| فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا {١١} |
11. So God will protect them from the evil of that day, and grant them happiness and joy, |
| وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا {١٢} |
12. And reward them for their perseverence Paradise and silken robes, |
| مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۖ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا {١٣} |
13. Where they will recline on couches feeling neither heat of the sun nor intense cold. |
| وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا {١٤} |
14. The shadows will bend over them, and low will hang the clusters of grapes. |
| وَيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآنِيَةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ كَانَتْ قَوَارِيرَا {١٥} |
15. Passed round will be silver flagons and goblets made of glass, |
| قَوَارِيرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِيرًا {١٦} |
16. And crystal clear bottles of silver, of which they will determine the measure themselves. |
| وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنْجَبِيلًا {١٧} |
17. There will they drink a cup flavoured with ginger |
| عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلْسَبِيلًا {١٨} |
18. From a spring by the name of Ever-flowing-Salsabil. |
| وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَنْثُورًا {١٩} |
19. And boys of everlasting youth will go about attending them. Looking at them you would think that they were pearls dispersed. |
| وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا {٢٠} |
20. When you look around, you will see delights and great dominion. |
| عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُنْدُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا {٢١} |
21. On their bodies will be garments of the finest green silk and brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give them a purest draught to drink. |
| إِنَّ هَٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَشْكُورًا {٢٢} |
22. "This in truth is your recompense, and acceptance of your endeavours." |
| إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلًا {٢٣} |
23. We have revealed the Qur´an to you gradually; |
| فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا {٢٤} |
24. So wait for your Lord´s command, and do not follow any sinner or disbeliever among them. |
| وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا {٢٥} |
25. Meditate upon the name of your Lord morning and evening; |
| وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا {٢٦} |
26. And bow in homage part of the night, and glorify Him far into the night. |
| إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا {٢٧} |
27. Surely men love what hastes away and forget the grievous day (ahead). |
| نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا {٢٨} |
28. We created them and fixed their bones and joints; and We could replace them when We like with others like them. |
| إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا {٢٩} |
29. This surely is a reminder: Therefore whosoever desires may take the way to his Lord. |
| وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا {٣٠} |
30. But you will not desire except as God wills. Verily He is all-knowing and all-wise. |
| يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَالظَّالِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا {٣١} |
31. He admits whosoever He will to His benevolence. But for the evil-doers He has prepared a painful punishment. |
