| | Hamid S. Aziz rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Was there not over man a long period of time when he was a thing unremembered (nothing, not worth mention) |
| 76:2 | | Surely We have created man from a small mingled life-germ; in order to try him, We made him hearing and seeing |
| 76:3 | | Surely We have shown him the way: he may be thankful or unthankful |
| 76:4 | | Surely We have prepared for the unbelievers chains and yokes and a burning fire |
| 76:5 | | Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor |
| 76:6 | | A fountain from which the servants of Allah shall drink, flows with abundance |
| 76:7 | | Because they fulfil their vows and fear a day the evil of which spreads far and wide |
| 76:8 | | And they give food out of love for Allah to the poor and the orphan and the captive |
| 76:9 | | (Saying) We only feed you for Allah´s sake; we desire from you neither reward nor thanks |
| 76:10 | | Surely we fear from our Lord a stern, distressful day |
| 76:11 | | Therefore Allah will deliver them from the evil of that day and will shed on them the Light of Beauty and Joy |
| 76:12 | | And reward them, because they were patient, with a Garden and garments of silk |
| 76:13 | | Reclining therein on raised couches, they shall find therein neither the severe heat of the sun nor intense cold |
| 76:14 | | And shade thereof is close upon them, and clustered fruits thereof bow down |
| 76:15 | | And amongst them shall be passed vessels of silver and goblets of crystal |
| 76:16 | | (Transparent as) glass but made of silver; they will determine the measure thereof |
| 76:17 | | And they will be given to drink therein a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil |
| 76:18 | | From a fountain therein named Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | And they will be served by youths never altering in age; when you see them you will think them to be scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | And when you look, you will see blessings and a magnificent kingdom |
| 76:21 | | Upon them will be garments of fine green silk and gold brocade, and they shall be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a drink pure and holy |
| 76:22 | | Lo! This is a reward for you, and your striving has been recognised and accepted |
| 76:23 | | Lo! We, even We have revealed the Quran to you in stages |
| 76:24 | | Therefore wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them one who is guilty or ungrateful |
| 76:25 | | And glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | And during part of the night adore Him, and glorify Him a long part of the night |
| 76:27 | | But they love the transitory life and put away behind them (ignore the remembrance of) a grievous Day |
| 76:28 | | We, even We created them and made firm their frame, and when We will We will replace them, bringing others like them in their stead |
| 76:29 | | Surely this is an admonition; whoever will, let him take a straight path to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you will not, except as Allah wills, surely Allah is Knower, Wise |
| 76:31 | | He makes whom He will enter into His mercy; and for evildoers, He has prepared a painful doom |
