| | Ali Quli Qara'i rendition of Surah Man(al-Insan)
--- |
|---|
| 76:1 | | Has there been for man a period of time when he was not anything worthy of mention |
| 76:2 | | Indeed We created man from the drop of a mixed fluid so that We may test him. So We made him endowed with hearing and sight |
| 76:3 | | Indeed We have guided him to the way, be he grateful or ungrateful |
| 76:4 | | Indeed We have prepared for the faithless chains, iron collars, and a blaze |
| 76:5 | | Indeed the pious will drink from a cup seasoned with Kafur |
| 76:6 | | a spring where the servants of Allah drink, which they make to gush forth as they please |
| 76:7 | | They fulfill their vows and fear a day whose ill will be widespread |
| 76:8 | | They give food, for the love of Him, to the needy, the orphan and the prisoner |
| 76:9 | | [saying,] ‘We feed you only for the sake of Allah. We do not want any reward from you nor any thanks |
| 76:10 | | Indeed we fear from our Lord a day, frowning and fateful.&rsquo |
| 76:11 | | So Allah saved them from the ills of that day, and granted them freshness and joy |
| 76:12 | | And He rewarded them for their patience with a garden and [garments of] silk |
| 76:13 | | reclining therein on couches. They will find in it neither any [scorching] sun, nor any [biting] cold |
| 76:14 | | Its shades will be close over them and its clusters [of fruits] will be hanging low |
| 76:15 | | They will be served around with vessels of silver and goblets of crysta |
| 76:16 | | —crystal of silver— [from] which they dispense in a precise measure |
| 76:17 | | They will be served therein with a cup of a drink seasoned with Zanjaba«l |
| 76:18 | | a spring in it, named Salsaba«l |
| 76:19 | | They will be waited upon by immortal youths, whom, when you see them, you will suppose them to be scattered pearls |
| 76:20 | | As you look, you will see there bliss and a great kingdom |
| 76:21 | | Upon them will be cloaks of green silk and brocade and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will give them to drink a pure drink |
| 76:22 | | [They will be told]: ‘This is indeed your reward, and your endeavour has been well-appreciated.&rsquo |
| 76:23 | | Indeed We have sent down to you the Qur’an in a gradual descent |
| 76:24 | | So submit patiently to the judgement of your Lord, and do not obey any sinner or ingrate among them |
| 76:25 | | and celebrate the Name of your Lord morning and evening |
| 76:26 | | and worship Him for a watch of the night and glorify Him the night long |
| 76:27 | | Indeed they love this transitory life, and disregard a weighty day ahead of them |
| 76:28 | | We created them and made their joints firm, and whenever We like We will replace them with others like them |
| 76:29 | | This is indeed a reminder. So let anyone who wishes take the way toward his Lord |
| 76:30 | | But you do not wish unless it is wished by Allah. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise |
| 76:31 | | He admits whomever He wishes into His mercy, and as for the wrongdoers, He has prepared for them a painful punishment |
