Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even) mentioned?
|
|
2. |
Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
|
|
3. |
We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful.
|
|
4. |
For the Rejecters we have prepared Chains, Yokes, and a Blazing Fire.
|
|
5. |
As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup mixed with Kafür,-
|
|
6. |
A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance.
|
|
7. |
They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
|
|
8. |
And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-
|
|
9. |
(Saying),"We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.
|
|
10. |
"We only fear a Day of frowning and distress from the side of our Lord."
|
|
11. |
But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a brightness and (blissful) Joy.
|
|
12. |
And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk.
|
|
13. |
Reclining in the (Garden) on raised crouches, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor excessive cold.
|
|
14. |
And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low easy to reach.
|
|
15. |
And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,-
|
|
16. |
Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).
|
|
17. |
And they will be given to drink there of a Cup mixed with Zanjabíl,-
|
|
18. |
A fountain there, called Salsabíl.
|
|
19. |
And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
|
|
20. |
And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
|
|
21. |
Upon 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 pure drink.
|
|
22. |
"Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavor is accepted and recognized."
|
|
23. |
It is We Who have sent down the Quran to thee by stages.
|
|
24. |
Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and obey not to the sinner or the ingrate among them.
|
|
25. |
And celebrate the name or thy Lord morning and evening,
|
|
26. |
And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through.
|
|
27. |
As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard.
|
|
28. |
It is We Who created them, and We have made their frame strong; but, when We shall exchange their likes.
|
|
29. |
This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord.
|
|
30. |
But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
|
|
31. |
He will admit to His Mercy Whom He will; but the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Chastisement.
