| | [The Monotheist Group] (2013 Edition) rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan) --- |
---|
76:1 | | Was there not a time in the past when man was nothing to even be mentioned? |
76:2 | | We have created man from a mixed seed; We test him, so We made him hear and see. |
76:3 | | We have guided him to the path, either to be thankful or to reject. |
76:4 | | We have prepared for the rejecters chains and shackles and a blazing Fire. |
76:5 | | As for the pious, they will drink from a cup with the scent of musk. |
76:6 | | A spring from which the servants of God drink, it gushes forth abundantly. |
76:7 | | They fulfill their vows, and they fear a Day whose consequences are wide-spread. |
76:8 | | And they give food out of love to the poor and the orphan and the captive. |
76:9 | | "We only feed you seeking the face of God; we do not desire from you any reward or thanks." |
76:10 | | "We fear from our Lord a Day, which will be horrible and difficult." |
76:11 | | So God shielded them from the evil of that Day, and He cast towards them a look and a smile. |
76:12 | | And He rewarded them for their patience with a paradise and silk. |
76:13 | | They are reclining in it on raised couches, they do not have in it excessive sun nor bitter cold. |
76:14 | | And the shade is close upon them, and the fruit is hanging low within reach. |
76:15 | | And they are served upon with bowls of silver and glasses of crystal. |
76:16 | | Crystal laced with silver, measured accordingly. |
76:17 | | And they are given to drink in it from a cup which has the scent of ginger. |
76:18 | | A spring therein which is called 'Salsabeel.' |
76:19 | | And they are encircled with eternal children. If you see them you will think they are pearls which have been scattered about. |
76:20 | | And if you look, then you will see a blessing and a great dominion. |
76:21 | | They will have garments of fine green silk, and necklaces and bracelets from silver, and their Lord will give them a cleansing drink. |
76:22 | | "This is the reward for you, and your struggle is appreciated." |
76:23 | | We have sent down to you the Qur'an in stages. |
76:24 | | So be patient to the judgment of your Lord, and do not obey from them any sinner or rejecter. |
76:25 | | And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening. |
76:26 | | And from the night you shall prostrate to Him and praise Him throughout. |
76:27 | | These people like the current life, and they put behind them a heavy Day. |
76:28 | | We have created them, and established them, and if We wished, We could replace their kind completely. |
76:29 | | This is a reminder, so let whoever wills take a path to his Lord. |
76:30 | | And you cannot will unless God wills. God is Knowledgeable, Wise. |
76:31 | | He admits whom He wills to His mercy. And as for the wicked, He has prepared for them a painful retribution. |
