| | Wahiduddin Khan rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Was there not a period of time when man was nothing worth mentioning |
| 76:2 | | We created man from a drop of mingled fluid so that We might try him; We gave him hearing and sight |
| 76:3 | | We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful |
| 76:4 | | [Now,] behold, for those who deny the truth, We have prepared chains, iron collars and a blazing fire, bu |
| 76:5 | | the righteous shall drink from a cup mixed with the coolness of kafur,[47] |
| 76:6 | | a spring from which God's servants will drink, making it gush forth in branches |
| 76:7 | | They keep their vows and fear a day the woe of which will spread far and wide |
| 76:8 | | they give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and captives |
| 76:9 | | saying, We feed you for the sake of God alone, we seek neither recompense nor thanks from you |
| 76:10 | | Truly, we fear from our Lord a woefully grim Day |
| 76:11 | | Therefore, God will ward off from them the woes of that Day, and make them find brightness and joy |
| 76:12 | | and their reward for being patient will be a Garden and silk [clothing] |
| 76:13 | | Reclining upon couches, they will find therein neither the heat of the sun nor bitter, biting cold |
| 76:14 | | the shading branches of trees will come down low over them, and their clusters of fruit, will hang down where they are the easiest to reach |
| 76:15 | | Vessels of silver and goblets of pure crystal will be passed round among the |
| 76:16 | | and gleaming silver goblets which have been filled to the exact measure |
| 76:17 | | and they will be given a cup to drink flavoured with ginger |
| 76:18 | | from a flowing spring called Salsabil |
| 76:19 | | They will be attended by youths who will not agewhen you see them you will think them to be like sprinkled pearl |
| 76:20 | | wherever you look, you will see bliss and a great kingdom |
| 76:21 | | they will wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade. They will be adorned with silver bracelets. And their Lord will give them a pure drink |
| 76:22 | | This is your reward. Your endeavour is fully acknowledged |
| 76:23 | | Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation |
| 76:24 | | So wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and do not yield to anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful |
| 76:25 | | and glorify your Lord morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part of the night |
| 76:27 | | Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day |
| 76:28 | | It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them |
| 76:29 | | This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way]God is indeed all-knowing and wis |
| 76:31 | | He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers |
