Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even) mentioned
Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight
We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will)
For the Rejecters we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire
As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,
A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance
They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide
And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,
(Saying),"We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks
"We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy
And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk
Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold
And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility
And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,
Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes)
And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil,
A fountain there, called Salsabil
And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls
And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent
Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy
"Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised."
It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages
Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them
And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening
And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through
As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard
It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change
This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord
But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom
He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty
