76. Al-Insaan سُورَةُ الإِنسَانِ

Yusuf AliHas there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even) mentioned

Yusuf AliVerily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight

Yusuf AliWe showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will)

Yusuf AliFor the Rejecters we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire

Yusuf AliAs to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur

Yusuf AliA Fountain where the Devotees of God do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance

Yusuf AliThey perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide

Yusuf AliAnd they feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive

Yusuf Ali(Saying),"We feed you for the sake of God alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks

Yusuf AliWe only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord

Yusuf AliBut God will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy

Yusuf AliAnd because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk

Yusuf AliReclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold

Yusuf AliAnd the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility

Yusuf AliAnd amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal

Yusuf AliCrystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes)

Yusuf AliAnd they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil

Yusuf AliA fountain there, called Salsabil

Yusuf AliAnd round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls

Yusuf AliAnd when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent

Yusuf AliUpon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy

Yusuf AliVerily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised

Yusuf AliIt is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages

Yusuf AliTherefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them

Yusuf AliAnd celebrate the name or thy Lord morning and evening

Yusuf AliAnd part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through

Yusuf AliAs to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard

Yusuf AliIt is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change

Yusuf AliThis is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord

Yusuf AliBut ye will not, except as God wills; for God is full of Knowledge and Wisdom

Yusuf AliHe will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty
