| | Musharraf Hussain rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Hasn’t there been a phase in human history when humans were nothing worthy of mention? |
| 76:2 | | We created human – from a drop of mixed fluid – to test. We gave them hearing and sight; |
| 76:3 | | We showed the straight path, to see whether they would be thankful, or an unthankful denier. |
| 76:4 | | For the disbelievers We’ve prepared chains, iron collars and a Blazing Fire. |
| 76:5 | | The righteous will drink wine mixed with fragrant herbs, |
| 76:6 | | a drink from a freely-flowing spring, made for the servants of Allah |
| 76:7 | | They fulfil their vows, fear a Day whose horror is widespread, |
| 76:8 | | they feed the needy, the orphan and the prisoner for the love of Allah, |
| 76:9 | | saying, “We feed you for His sake; we don’t want some payment or thanks from you. |
| 76:10 | | We fear a Day of calamity and destruction, coming from Our Lord.” |
| 76:11 | | Allah will protect them from the distress of that Day, their faces will shine with joy |
| 76:12 | | He rewarded them with breathtaking Gardens and silk clothing for the patience they showed; |
| 76:13 | | they will rest on comfortable sofas and they won’t have extreme heat or bitter cold; |
| 76:14 | | low-hanging branches will give them shade and clusters of fruits will be close at hand. |
| 76:15 | | They will be served in crystal-like silver cups, |
| 76:16 | | selecting the size of the cups to drink from. |
| 76:17 | | They will have a drink mixed with ginger, |
| 76:18 | | from the spring of Salsabil. |
| 76:19 | | Eternal youth will serve them, and when you see them you will think they are pearls; |
| 76:20 | | when you look around these delightful scenes, you will see an immense blissful kingdom. |
| 76:21 | | Their fine clothes will be made of green silk and brocade; they will be adorned with silver bracelets, and their Lord will give them pure drinks. |
| 76:22 | | It will be said: “This is the reward for you, and today your tireless efforts are gratefully acknowledged. |
| 76:23 | | We gradually revealed the Majestic Quran to you, |
| 76:24 | | so wait patiently for the judgement of Your Lord, and don’t obey any of them: the sinner or the ungrateful person. |
| 76:25 | | Remember the Name of your Lord in the morning and evening, |
| 76:26 | | and prostrate to Him, and glorify him throughout the night. |
| 76:27 | | These people love the short-lived world, and dislike a Weighty Day ahead of them. |
| 76:28 | | We created them, and strengthened their ligaments and joints; if We wanted, We could have totally replaced the likes of them. |
| 76:29 | | This is a Reminder for anyone who wants to take the road to his Lord. |
| 76:30 | | You can’t have it unless Allah wills to show you that way, and Allah is Knowing, Wise. |
| 76:31 | | He cares for anyone He wants, and for the wrongdoers He has prepared a painful punishment |
