| | Dr. Munir Munshey rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Was there (ever) a period of time when man was not worth a mention |
| 76:2 | | We have certainly created man from a drop of mixed semen, (in order) to test him. Therefore, We made him capable of hearing and seeing |
| 76:3 | | Indeed, We (also) showed man the (right) path. (Now), he may either (accept and) be grateful, or reject (and be ungrateful) |
| 76:4 | | We have certainly prepared chains, shackles and the blazing fire for the unbelievers |
| 76:5 | | While the righteous ones would get to drink from cups filled with camphor flavored wine |
| 76:6 | | (Gushing from) the springs. The servants of Allah will drink right from it. They would channel the springs with ease |
| 76:7 | | (Because they) fulfill (their) vows, and fear the day of widespread disaster |
| 76:8 | | And for the sake of His love, they feed the poor (and needy), the orphans and the captives |
| 76:9 | | (They say), "For the sake of Allah, we feed you. We do not expect anything from you in return, not even thanks!" |
| 76:10 | | "In fact, we fear a dreary day of affliction from our Lord, a very long day (indeed)!" |
| 76:11 | | But, Allah will protect them from the evil (and torture) of such a day; He would grant them the glow of beauty and joy |
| 76:12 | | The paradise _ and (a wardrobe of) fine silk (garments) _ would be their reward for what they patiently endured |
| 76:13 | | In the paradise, they would recline (and relax) on couches. (There), they shall neither be troubled by the heat of the sun, nor by the excessive biting cold |
| 76:14 | | The shades of paradise would (shield them and) cover them all around. The cluster of fruit would droop low, within easy reach |
| 76:15 | | Silver goblets, and clear crystal glasses would be circulated among them |
| 76:16 | | Goblets made of crystal clear silver would be filled to measure, as per their wishes |
| 76:17 | | In paradise, they would be given a cup (of wine) to drink; it would have the flavor of ginger |
| 76:18 | | The spring (of wine) in paradise is called ´The salsabeel´ |
| 76:19 | | Youthful lads, staying young forever, would (go around and) wait on them. (So handsome), you would take them for scattered pearls when you see them |
| 76:20 | | In the paradise, you will find (the idyllic bliss and) blessings everywhere; splendors of the great empire |
| 76:21 | | They will wear green garments made of fine silk and rich brocade. They shall don silver (arm bands and) bracelets as adornments. Their Lord will give them a pure (refreshing) drink |
| 76:22 | | (They shall hear), "This is really your reward. Your efforts (in life) have found acceptance (and borne fruit in the afterlife)." |
| 76:23 | | Indeed, it is We Who revealed to you the Qur´an in stages, a little at a time |
| 76:24 | | Therefore, submit to the commands of your Lord, patiently. And do not obey the sinners, the unbelievers among them |
| 76:25 | | And remember your Lord´s name, each morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | Prostrate before Him during part of the night. Chant His praises during the long hours of the night |
| 76:27 | | In fact, the unbelievers love the present (transient) life, the one easy to earn (and attain), while they put behind (and out of their mind), the remembrance of a grievous onerous day |
| 76:28 | | It is We Who created them. We gave them their strength and vigor. Whenever We wish, We can replace them all together. We can easily bring in their place others like them |
| 76:29 | | Indeed, this (Qur´an) is a reminder! (Now), whoever wishes may follow the path (that leads) to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you cannot will anything, unless Allah wills it so. Indeed, Allah is all-Knowing, all-Wise |
| 76:31 | | He ushers into His mercy whomever He wills. For the evil doers, He has prepared a painful punishment |
