Surely there hath come upon man a space of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning
Verily We! We created man from a sperm of mixtures, that We might prove him, wherefore We made him hearing, seeing
Verily We! We shewed him the way; then he becometh either thankful or ingrate
Verily We! We have gotten ready for the infidels chains and collars and a Blaze
Verily the pious shall drink of a cup whereof the admixture is like Unto camphor
From a fountain whence the bondmen of Allah will drink, causing it to gush abundantly
They fulfill their vow and dread a Day the evil whereof shall be widespreading
And they feed with food, for love of Him, the needy, and the orphan and the captive
Saying: we feed you only for the sake of Allah; we desire not from you any recompense or thanks
Verily we dread from our Lord a Day grim and distressful
Wherefore Allah shall preserve them from the evil of that Day, and shall cause them to meet brightness and joy
And shall recompense them for that which they patiently bare with a Garden and silken garment
Reclining therein upon couches, they shall behold therein neither sun nor hurting cold
And close upon them will be the shades thereof, and low will hang the clusters thereof greatly
And brought round amongst them will be vessels of silver and also goblets of glass
Godblets of silver, they shall have filled them to exact measure
And therein they shall be given to drink of a cup whereof the admixture will be ginger
From a fountain therein, named Salsabil
And there shall go round Unto them youths ever-young. When thou seest them thou wouldst deem them pearls unstrung
And when thou lookest them thou shalt behold delight and a dominion magnificent
Upon them shall be garments of fine green silk and of brocades. And adorned they shall be with bracelets of silver: and their Lord shall give them drink a beverage pure
Verily this is for you by way of recompense, and your endeavour hath been accepted
Verily We! it is We Who have revealed Unto thee the Qur'an, a gradual revelation
Wherefore persevere thou with the commandment of thy Lord, and obey not thou of them, any sinner or ingrate
And remember thou the name of thy Lord in the morning and in the evening
And during the night - worship Him; and hallow Him the livelong night
Verily those love the Herein, and leave in front of them a heavy day
It it We Who creared them and made them firm of make. And whenever We list, We can replace them with others like Unto them
Verily this is an admonition; then whosoever Will, may choose a way Unto his Lord
And ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Verily Allah is ever Knowing, Wise.
He maketh whomsoever He listeth to enter His mercy. And the wrong-doers! for them He hath gotten ready a torment afflective
