İnsan Sûresi Abul Ala Maududi Meâli

Was there a period of time when man was not even worthy of a mention? ﴾ 1 ﴿
Verily We created man out of a drop of intermingled sperm so that We might try him, and We therefore endowed him with hearing and sight. ﴾ 2 ﴿
Surely We showed him the Right Path, regardless of whether he chooses to be thankful or unthankful (to his Lord). ﴾ 3 ﴿
For the unbelievers, We have kept ready chains and fetters and a Blazing Fire. ﴾ 4 ﴿
The virtuous shall drink from a cup tempered with camphor water. ﴾ 5 ﴿
This will be a gushing spring wherefrom Allah's servants shall drink wine, a spring from which they will take out channels wherever they wish. ﴾ 6 ﴿
These will be the ones who fulfil their vows and dread the Day whose woe shall be spread far and wide; ﴾ 7 ﴿
those who, for the love of Him, feed the needy, and the orphan, and the captive, ﴾ 8 ﴿
(saying): “We feed you only for Allah's sake; we do not seek of you any recompense or thanks, ﴾ 9 ﴿
we fear from our Lord a Day that shall be long and distressful.” ﴾ 10 ﴿
So Allah shall guard them against the woe of that Day, and will procure them freshness and joy, ﴾ 11 ﴿
and will reward them for their steadfastness with Paradise and robes of silk. ﴾ 12 ﴿
There they will recline on elevated couches and will be subjected neither to the burning heat of the sun nor to bitter cold. ﴾ 13 ﴿
The shades of Paradise will bend over them, and its fruits will be brought within their easy reach; ﴾ 14 ﴿
and there shall be passed around them vessels of silver and goblets of crystal, ﴾ 15 ﴿
goblets bright as crystal but made of silver, filled to exact measure. ﴾ 16 ﴿
Therein they shall be served a cup flavoured with ginger, ﴾ 17 ﴿
drawn from a spring (in Paradise) called Salsabil. ﴾ 18 ﴿
There boys of everlasting youth shall go about attending them: when you see them, you would think that they are scattered pearls. ﴾ 19 ﴿
Whitherto you look around, you will see an abundance of bliss and the glories of a great kingdom. ﴾ 20 ﴿
They [i.e., the virtuous] shall be attired in garments of fine green silk and rich brocade and will be adorned with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give them a pure wine to drink. ﴾ 21 ﴿
Behold, this is your recompense and your endeavour has been appreciated. ﴾ 22 ﴿
(O Prophet), indeed We have revealed the Qur'an to you in portions. ﴾ 23 ﴿
So persevere with the command of your Lord and do not pay any heed to the wicked and the unbelieving, ﴾ 24 ﴿
and remember the name of your Lord, morning and evening; ﴾ 25 ﴿
and prostrate yourself before Him at night, and extol His Glory during the long watches of the night. ﴾ 26 ﴿
Verily they love (the good of this world) that is hastily obtainable and are oblivious of the burdensome Day ahead of them. ﴾ 27 ﴿
We created them and strengthened their joints; and whenever We wish, We can change their faces entirely. ﴾ 28 ﴿
Verily this is an Exhortation; so let him who so will take a way to his Lord. ﴾ 29 ﴿
But your willing shall be of no avail until Allah Himself so wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise. ﴾ 30 ﴿
He admits to His Mercy whomsoever He pleases. As for the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a grievous chastisement. ﴾ 31 ﴿
