| | Mohammad Shafi rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | There was — was there not? — a time when man [before he was created] was not yet a thing worth mentioning |
| 76:2 | | It is, indeed, We who have created man out of a mixed [fertilized] ovum, so that We try him out. And then We made him a being endowed with hearing and sight |
| 76:3 | | We do indeed guide him, whether he be grateful or ungrateful |
| 76:4 | | For those who suppress the Truth, We have readied chains, and shackles, and a blazing Fire |
| 76:5 | | The righteous indeed shall drink from a cup containing a camphor-flavoured beverage |
| 76:6 | | A fountain from which Allah's subjects shall drink, making it flow as and when required |
| 76:7 | | They fulfill their vows, and fear a Day the evil of which would be widespread |
| 76:8 | | And they feed — for the sheer love of Him — the needy, the orphan, and the victim of circustances |
| 76:9 | | "We feed you only for Allah's sake: we desire no recompense from you, nor thanks!" |
| 76:10 | | "We do indeed fear from our Lord a distressful, disastrous Day!" |
| 76:11 | | And then, Allah will save them from the woes of that Day, and will bestow on them brightness and joy |
| 76:12 | | And He will reward them, for their patience, with Garden [Paradise] and silk [garments] |
| 76:13 | | They will be reclining on couches there. They will feel neither sunburn therein nor intense cold |
| 76:14 | | And its shadows will come down low over them, and its clusters of fruit will dangle within reach |
| 76:15 | | And silver vessels and glass goblets will be passed around them |
| 76:16 | | From silver [vessel] to glass [goblet] — [the drink will be poured out] in required quantity |
| 76:17 | | And in it [Paradise] they will be given to drink of a cup containing a ginger-flavoured beverage |
| 76:18 | | [The source of the beverage is a fountain] therein named `Salsabeel' |
| 76:19 | | And waiting upon them will be immortal boys. When you see them you would think they were pearls dispersed |
| 76:20 | | And when you look, you would be looking at bliss and a realm transcendent |
| 76:21 | | Upon them will be garments of green silk and brocade; and they will be adorned with silver bracelets. And their Lord will give them a pure drink |
| 76:22 | | "This indeed is a reward for you, and your struggle [in worldly life] is appreciated!" |
| 76:23 | | Indeed, We have sent down the Qur'aan on you, in stages |
| 76:24 | | Await, then, your Lord's decree, and obey not any sinner or ingrate among them |
| 76:25 | | And do chant your Lord's name morning and evenin |
| 76:26 | | And during the night. And then prostrate before Him. And extol His glory during the long night |
| 76:27 | | These [who suppress the Truth] do indeed love this transitory life, and leave a hard and difficult Day behind their backs |
| 76:28 | | It is We who have created them and given them their strength. And when we so will, We can replace them with others of their kind |
| 76:29 | | This [Qur'aan] indeed is a Counsel. He then, who so wills, may take a way to his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you cannot will it unless Allah so wills! Allah is indeed Aware, Wise |
| 76:31 | | HE admits to His grace whom He wills. And He has readied painful punishment for the wicked people |
