Surah “Man”

as rendered by Samy Mahdy — 31 verses

Has there come upon the human a while of the eon, he was not a mentioned thing?
Surely, We created the human from sexual zygotic mixture drops, to try him; and We set up him hearer and seer.
Surely, We guided him to the pathway, whether he is grateful or ungrateful.
Surely, We have prepared for the infidels chains, and shackles, and a Blazing Fire.
Surely, the devotees will drink from a goblet whose mixture is Kafur.
A spring from which Allah’s slaves will drink, they burst it bursting.
They fulfill the vows and fear a Day whose evil is widespread.
And they feed the food, in spite of its love, a needy person, an orphan, and a captive.
“Surely, we only feed you for the sake of Allah’s face. We do not want from you neither reward, nor thanks.
Surely, we fear from our Lord a frowning stressful Day.”
So Allah protected them from the evil of that Day and let them find a radiance and joy.
And rewarded them with what they were patient, Paradise and silk.
Reclining therein on the couches.; they are not seeing therein neither a sun hotness, nor cold frost.
And its shades drawn near over them, and its fruit cluster servilely, servile low.
And circulate upon them with vessels of silver, and cups that were a flasks (Of crystals).
Flasks from silver, they evaluated them, an evaluation.
And they are watering therein with a goblet whose mixture is Zanjabeel.
A spring therein named Salsabeel.
And circulate upon them immortalized children. If you see them, you will consider them sprinkled pearls.
And if you look, then you see bliss, and a Grand Kingdom.
Upon them are garments of green fine silk (Sundos), and heavy silk brocade (Istabraq). And they will be ornamented with bracelets of silver. And their Lord will be watering them a pure drink.
“Surely this is a reward for you. And your striving was well thankful.”
Surely, We are who sent down the Quran upon you, a download revelation.
So be patient for your Lord judgment, and do not obey among them any sinner or a disbeliever.
And mention Your Lord Name, morning and evening.
And from the night, so prostrate to Him, and glorify Him, a long night.
Surely these are loving the immediate and leaving behind them a Heavy Day.
Surely, We created them, and strengthened their captivity; and if We will, We will replace them with their likeness, a replacement.
Surely this is a reminder; so, whoever wills, he takes to his Lord, a pathway.
And you are not willing, except that Allah wills. Surely Allah is ever Knowledgeable, Wise.
He enters into His mercy whomever He wills. And the oppressors, He has prepared for them a painful torment.
