| | Abdel Haleem rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Was there not a period of time when man was nothing to speak of |
| 76:2 | | We created man from a drop of mingled fluid to put him to the test; We gave him hearing and sight |
| 76:3 | | We guided him to the right path, whether he was grateful or not |
| 76:4 | | We have prepared chains, iron collars, and blazing Fire for the disbelievers, bu |
| 76:5 | | the righteous will have a drink mixed with kafur |
| 76:6 | | a spring for God’s servants, which flows abundantly at their wish |
| 76:7 | | They fulfil their vows; they fear a day of widespread woes |
| 76:8 | | they give food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, though they love it themselves |
| 76:9 | | saying, ‘We feed you for the sake of God alone: We seek neither recompense nor thanks from you |
| 76:10 | | We fear the Day of our Lord––a woefully grim Day.&rsquo |
| 76:11 | | So God will save them from the woes of that Day, give them radiance and gladness |
| 76:12 | | and reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and silken robes |
| 76:13 | | They will sit on couches, feeling neither scorching heat nor biting cold |
| 76:14 | | with shady [branches] spread above them and clusters of fruit hanging close at hand |
| 76:15 | | They will be served with silver plate |
| 76:16 | | and gleaming silver goblets according to their fancy |
| 76:17 | | and they will be given a drink infused with ginge |
| 76:18 | | from a spring called Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | Everlasting youths will attend them––if you could see them, you would think they were scattered pearls–&ndash |
| 76:20 | | and if you were to look around, you would see bliss and great wealth |
| 76:21 | | they will wear garments of green silk and brocade; they will be adorned with silver bracelets; their Lord will give them a pure drink |
| 76:22 | | [It will be said], ‘This is your reward. Your endeavours are appreciated.&rsquo |
| 76:23 | | We Ourself have sent down this Quran to you [Prophet] in gradual revelation |
| 76:24 | | Await your Lord’s Judgement with patience; do not yield to any of these sinners or disbelievers |
| 76:25 | | remember the name of your Lord at dawn and in the evening |
| 76:26 | | bow down before Him, and glorify Him at length by night |
| 76:27 | | These people love the fleeting life. They put aside [all thoughts of] a Heavy Day |
| 76:28 | | Yet We created them; We strengthened their constitution; if We please, We can replace such people completely |
| 76:29 | | This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the way to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you will only wish to do so if God wills- God is all knowing, all wise |
| 76:31 | | He admits whoever He will into His Mercy and has prepared a painful torment for the disbelievers |
