| | Faridul Haque rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Indeed there has been a time for man, when even his name did not exist anywhere |
| 76:2 | | Indeed We have created man from mixed semen; in order to test him – We therefore made him hearing, knowing |
| 76:3 | | We have indeed shown him the way - whether he is grateful or ingrate |
| 76:4 | | We have indeed kept prepared chains, and shackles and a blazing fire for the disbelievers |
| 76:5 | | Indeed the virtuous will drink from a cup, containing a mixture of Kafoor |
| 76:6 | | The Kafoor is a spring, from which the chosen bondmen of Allah will drink, causing it to flow wherever they wish inside their palaces |
| 76:7 | | They fulfil their pledges, and fear a day the evil of which is widespread |
| 76:8 | | And out of His love, they give food to the needy, the orphan and the prisoner |
| 76:9 | | They say to them, “We give you food, only for the sake of Allah - we do not seek any reward or thanks from you.&rdquo |
| 76:10 | | “Indeed we fear from our Lord a day which is extremely bitter, most severe.&rdquo |
| 76:11 | | So Allah saved them from the evil of that day, and gave them freshness and joy |
| 76:12 | | And gave them Paradise and silk clothes, as a reward for their patience |
| 76:13 | | Reclining in it, upon thrones; they will not see the hot sunshine in it, nor the bitter cold |
| 76:14 | | And its shade will cover them, and its fruit clusters brought down low for them |
| 76:15 | | Rounds of silver cups and silver beakers, looking like glass, will be presented upon them |
| 76:16 | | Glass made from silver, which the servers have filled up to the measure |
| 76:17 | | And in Paradise they will be given to drink cups, filled with a mixture of ginger |
| 76:18 | | Which is a spring in Paradise called Salsabeel |
| 76:19 | | Immortal youths shall surround them, waiting upon them; when you see them, you would think they are scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | And when you look towards it, you will see serenity and a great kingdom |
| 76:21 | | 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 |
| 76:22 | | It will be said to them, “This is your reward – indeed your efforts have been appreciated.&rdquo |
| 76:23 | | Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages |
| 76:24 | | Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them |
| 76:25 | | And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night |
| 76:27 | | Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them |
| 76:28 | | It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will |
| 76:29 | | This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord |
| 76:30 | | And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise |
| 76:31 | | He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment |
