{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا}
(1) Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?
{إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا}
(2) Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture[1811] that We may try him; and We made him hearing and seeing.
{إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا}
(3) Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.
{إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا}
(4) Indeed, We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blaze.
{إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا}
(5) Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kāfūr,[1812]
{عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا}
(6) A spring of which the [righteous] servants of Allāh will drink; they will make it gush forth in force [and abundance].
{يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا}
(7) They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.
{وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا}
(8) And they give food in spite of love for it[1813] to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,
{إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا}
(9) [Saying], "We feed you only for the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.
{إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا}
(10) Indeed, We fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful."
{فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا}
(11) So Allāh will protect them from the evil of that Day and give them radiance and happiness
{وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا}
(12) And will reward them for what they patiently endured [with] a garden [in Paradise] and silk [garments].
{مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۖ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا}
(13) [They will be] reclining therein on adorned couches. They will not see therein any [burning] sun or [freezing] cold.
{وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا}
(14) And near above them are its shades, and its [fruit] to be picked will be lowered in compliance.
{وَيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآنِيَةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ كَانَتْ قَوَارِيرَا}
(15) And there will be circulated among them vessels of silver and cups having been [created] clear [as glass],
{قَوَارِيرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِيرًا}
(16) Clear glasses [made] from silver of which they have determined the measure.
{وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنْجَبِيلًا}
(17) And they will be given to drink a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of ginger
{عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلْسَبِيلًا}
(18) [From] a fountain within it [i.e., Paradise] named Salsabeel.
{۞ وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَنْثُورًا}
(19) There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them [as beautiful as] scattered pearls.
{وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا}
(20) And when you look there [in Paradise], you will see pleasure and great dominion.
{عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُنْدُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا}
(21) Upon them [i.e., the inhabitants] will be green garments of fine silk and brocade. And they will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.
{إِنَّ هَٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَشْكُورًا}
(22) [And it will be said], "Indeed, this is for you a reward, and your effort has been appreciated."
{إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلًا}
(23) Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Qur’ān progressively.
{فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا}
(24) So be patient for the decision of your Lord and do not obey from among them a sinner or ungrateful [disbeliever].
{وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا}
(25) And mention the name of your Lord [in prayer] morning and evening
{وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا}
(26) And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt [i.e., praise] Him a long [part of the] night.
{إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا}
(27) Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them[1814] a grave Day.
{نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا}
(28) We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration.
{إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا}
(29) Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way.
{وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا}
(30) And you do not will except that Allāh wills. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
{يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَالظَّالِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا}
(31) He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment.
