İnsan Sûresi Wahiduddin Khan Meâli

Was there not a period of time when man was nothing worth mentioning? ﴾ 1 ﴿
We created man from a drop of mingled fluid so that We might try him; We gave him hearing and sight; ﴾ 2 ﴿
We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful. ﴾ 3 ﴿
[Now,] behold, for those who deny the truth, We have prepared chains, iron collars and a blazing fire, but ﴾ 4 ﴿
the righteous shall drink from a cup mixed with the coolness of kafur, ﴾ 5 ﴿
a spring from which God's servants will drink, making it gush forth in branches. ﴾ 6 ﴿
They keep their vows and fear a day the woe of which will spread far and wide; ﴾ 7 ﴿
they give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and captives, ﴾ 8 ﴿
saying, "We feed you for the sake of God alone, we seek neither recompense nor thanks from you. ﴾ 9 ﴿
Truly, we fear from our Lord a woefully grim Day." ﴾ 10 ﴿
Therefore, God will ward off from them the woes of that Day, and make them find brightness and joy, ﴾ 11 ﴿
and their reward for being patient will be a Garden and silk [clothing]. ﴾ 12 ﴿
Reclining upon couches, they will find therein neither the heat of the sun nor bitter, biting cold, ﴾ 13 ﴿
the shading branches of trees will come down low over them, and their clusters of fruit, will hang down where they are the easiest to reach. ﴾ 14 ﴿
Vessels of silver and goblets of pure crystal will be passed round among them ﴾ 15 ﴿
and gleaming silver goblets which have been filled to the exact measure, ﴾ 16 ﴿
and they will be given a cup to drink flavoured with ginger, ﴾ 17 ﴿
from a flowing spring called Salsabil. ﴾ 18 ﴿
They will be attended by youths who will not age -- when you see them you will think them to be like sprinkled pearls -- ﴾ 19 ﴿
wherever you look, you will see bliss and a great kingdom: ﴾ 20 ﴿
they will wear green garments of fine silk and rich brocade. They will be adorned with silver bracelets. And their Lord will give them a pure drink. ﴾ 21 ﴿
This is your reward. Your endeavour is fully acknowledged. ﴾ 22 ﴿
Truly, it is We who have revealed to you the Quran, a gradual revelation. ﴾ 23 ﴿
So wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and do not yield to anyone among them who is sinful or ungrateful; ﴾ 24 ﴿
and glorify your Lord morning and evening; ﴾ 25 ﴿
and during the night prostrate ourself before Him, and extol His glory for a long part of the night. ﴾ 26 ﴿
Those people [who are unmindful of God] aspire for immediate gains, and put behind them a Heavy Day. ﴾ 27 ﴿
It was We who created them and made their constitution strong, but if We wish we can replace them with others like them. ﴾ 28 ﴿
This is a reminder. Let whoever wishes, take the right path to his Lord. ﴾ 29 ﴿
But you cannot will it unless God wills [to show you that way] -- God is indeed all-knowing and wise -- ﴾ 30 ﴿
He admits whoever He will into His grace and has prepared a painful punishment for the evil doers. ﴾ 31 ﴿
