| 76 ) Dahr | |||
| 1 | Has there not been over Man a long period of Time when he was nothing- - ( not even ) mentioned? | ||
| 2 | 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. | ||
| 3 | We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful ( rests on his will ). | ||
| 4 | For the Rejecters We have prepared Chains Yokes and a Blazing Fire. | ||
| 5 | As to the Righteous they shall drink of a Cup ( of Wine ) mixed with Kafur | ||
| 6 | A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink making it flow in unstinted abundance. | ||
| 7 | They perform ( their ) vows and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide. | ||
| 8 | And they feed for the love of Allah the indigent the orphan and the captive | ||
| 9 | ( Saying ) " We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: No reward do we desire from you nor thanks. | ||
| 10 | " We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord. " | ||
| 11 | But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day and will shed over them a light of Beauty and a ( blissful ) Joy. | ||
| 12 | And because they were patient and constant He will reward them with a Garden and ( garments of ) silk. | ||
| 13 | Reclining in the ( Garden ) on raised thrones they will see there neither the sun's ( excessive heat ) nor ( the moon's ) excessive cold. | ||
| 14 | And the shades of the ( Garden ) will come low over them and the bunches ( of fruit ) there will hang low in humility. | ||
| 15 | And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal | ||
| 16 | Crystal-clear made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof ( according to their wishes ). | ||
| 17 | And they will be given to drink there of a Cup ( of Wine ) mixed with Zanjabil | ||
| 18 | A fountain there called Salsabil. | ||
| 19 | And round about them will ( serve ) youths of perpetual ( freshness ): if thou seest them thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. | ||
| 20 | And when thou lookest it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent. | ||
| 21 | 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. | ||
| 22 | " Verily this is a Reward for you and your Endeavor is accepted and recognized. " | ||
| 23 | It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages. | ||
| 24 | Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them. | ||
| 25 | And celebrate the name of thy Lord morning and evening. | ||
| 26 | And part of the night prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through. | ||
| 27 | As to these they love the fleeting life and put away behind them a Day ( that will be ) hard. | ||
| 28 | 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. | ||
| 29 | This is an admonition: whosoever will let him take a ( straight ) Path to his Lord. | ||
| 30 | But ye will not except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom. | ||
| 31 | He will admit to His Mercy Whom He will; but the wrongdoers for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty. | ||
