Al-Insan

هَلۡ اَتٰى عَلَى الۡاِنۡسَانِ حِيۡنٌ مِّنَ الدَّهۡرِ لَمۡ يَكُنۡ شَيۡـًٔـا مَّذۡكُوۡرًا‏

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

اِنَّا خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍ اَمۡشَاجٍۖ نَّبۡتَلِيۡهِ فَجَعَلۡنٰهُ سَمِيۡعًۢا بَصِيۡرًا‏

Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture1 that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.

اِنَّا هَدَيۡنٰهُ السَّبِيۡلَ اِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَّاِمَّا كَفُوۡرًا‏

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

اِنَّاۤ اَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ سَلٰسِلَا۟ وَاَغۡلٰلًا وَّسَعِيۡرًا‏

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

اِنَّ الۡاَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُوۡنَ مِنۡ كَاۡسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُوۡرًا​ۚ‏ 

Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kāfūr,1

عَيۡنًا يَّشۡرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللّٰهِ يُفَجِّرُوۡنَهَا تَفۡجِيۡرًا‏

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

يُوۡفُوۡنَ بِالنَّذۡرِ وَيَخَافُوۡنَ يَوۡمًا كَانَ شَرُّهٗ مُسۡتَطِيۡرًا‏ 

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

وَيُطۡعِمُوۡنَ الطَّعَامَ عَلٰى حُبِّهٖ مِسۡكِيۡنًا وَّيَتِيۡمًا وَّاَسِيۡرًا‏ 

And they give food in spite of love for it1 to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,

اِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِـوَجۡهِ اللّٰهِ لَا نُرِيۡدُ مِنۡكُمۡ جَزَآءً وَّلَا شُكُوۡرًا‏

[Saying], "We feed you only for the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.

اِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنۡ رَّبِّنَا يَوۡمًا عَبُوۡسًا قَمۡطَرِيۡرًا‏

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

فَوَقٰٮهُمُ اللّٰهُ شَرَّ ذٰلِكَ الۡيَوۡمِ وَ لَقّٰٮهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً وَّسُرُوۡرًا​ۚ‏ 

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

وَجَزٰٮهُمۡ بِمَا صَبَرُوۡا جَنَّةً وَّحَرِيۡرًا ۙ‏

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

مُّتَّكِـِٕـيۡنَ فِيۡهَا عَلَى الۡاَرَآٮِٕكِ​ۚ لَا يَرَوۡنَ فِيۡهَا شَمۡسًا وَّلَا زَمۡهَرِيۡرًا​ۚ‏

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

وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيۡهِمۡ ظِلٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتۡ قُطُوۡفُهَا تَذۡلِيۡلًا‏

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

وَيُطَافُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِاٰنِيَةٍ مِّنۡ فِضَّةٍ وَّاَكۡوَابٍ كَانَتۡ قَوَارِيۡرَا۟ ۙ‏ 

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

قَوَارِيۡرَا۟ مِنۡ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوۡهَا تَقۡدِيۡرًا‏

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

​ ​ وَيُسۡقَوۡنَ فِيۡهَا كَاۡسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنۡجَبِيۡلًا ۚ‏

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

عَيۡنًا فِيۡهَا تُسَمّٰى سَلۡسَبِيۡلًا‏

[From] a fountain within it [i.e., Paradise] named Salsabeel.

وَيَطُوۡفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وِلۡدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُوۡنَ​ۚ اِذَا رَاَيۡتَهُمۡ حَسِبۡتَهُمۡ لُـؤۡلُـؤًا مَّنۡثُوۡرًا‏

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

وَاِذَا رَاَيۡتَ ثَمَّ رَاَيۡتَ نَعِيۡمًا وَّمُلۡكًا كَبِيۡرًا‏

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

عٰلِيَهُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُنۡدُسٍ خُضۡرٌ وَّاِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ​ وَّحُلُّوۡۤا اَسَاوِرَ مِنۡ فِضَّةٍ ​ۚوَسَقٰٮهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ شَرَابًا طَهُوۡرًا‏

Upon them [i.e., 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.

اِنَّ هٰذَا كَانَ لَـكُمۡ جَزَآءً وَّكَانَ سَعۡيُكُمۡ مَّشۡكُوۡرًا‏

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

اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ تَنۡزِيۡلًا ۚ‏

Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Qur’ān progressively.

فَاصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعۡ مِنۡهُمۡ اٰثِمًا اَوۡ كَفُوۡرًا​ۚ‏ 

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

وَاذۡكُرِ اسۡمَ رَبِّكَ بُكۡرَةً وَّاَصِيۡلًا ۚ  ۖ‏

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

وَمِنَ الَّيۡلِ فَاسۡجُدۡ لَهٗ وَسَبِّحۡهُ لَيۡلًا طَوِيۡلًا‏

And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt [i.e., praise] Him a long [part of the] night.

اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ يُحِبُّوۡنَ الۡعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُوۡنَ وَرَآءَهُمۡ يَوۡمًا ثَقِيۡلًا‏

Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them1 a grave Day.

نَحۡنُ خَلَقۡنٰهُمۡ وَشَدَدۡنَاۤ اَسۡرَهُمۡ​ۚ وَاِذَا شِئۡنَا بَدَّلۡنَاۤ اَمۡثَالَهُمۡ تَبۡدِيۡلًا‏

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

اِنَّ هٰذِهٖ تَذۡكِرَةٌ ​ۚ فَمَنۡ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ سَبِيۡلًا‏ 

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

وَمَا تَشَآءُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ ​ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيۡمًا حَكِيۡمًا  ۖ‏

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

يُّدۡخِلُ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ فِىۡ رَحۡمَتِهٖ​ؕ وَالظّٰلِمِيۡنَ اَعَدَّ لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا اَلِيۡمًا‏

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