Was there not a period of time when man was nothing to speak of
Translation 1260
We created man from a drop of mingled fluid to put him to the test; We gave him hearing and sight
Translation 1260
We guided him to the right path, whether he was grateful or not
Translation 1260
We have prepared chains, iron collars, and blazing Fire for the disbelievers, but
Translation 1260
the righteous will have a drink mixed with kafur
Translation 1260
a spring for God’s servants, which flows abundantly at their wish
Translation 1260
They fulfil their vows; they fear a day of widespread woes
Translation 1260
they give food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, though they love it themselves
Translation 1260
saying, ‘We feed you for the sake of God alone: We seek neither recompense nor thanks from you
Translation 1260
We fear the Day of our Lord––a woefully grim Day.’
Translation 1260
So God will save them from the woes of that Day, give them radiance and gladness
Translation 1260
and reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and silken robes
Translation 1260
They will sit on couches, feeling neither scorching heat nor biting cold
Translation 1260
with shady [branches] spread above them and clusters of fruit hanging close at hand
Translation 1260
They will be served with silver plates
Translation 1260
and gleaming silver goblets according to their fancy
Translation 1260
and they will be given a drink infused with ginger
Translation 1260
from a spring called Salsabil
Translation 1260
Everlasting youths will attend them––if you could see them, you would think they were scattered pearls––
Translation 1260
and if you were to look around, you would see bliss and great wealth
Translation 1260
they will wear garments of green silk and brocade; they will be adorned with silver bracelets; their Lord will give them a pure drink
Translation 1260
[It will be said], ‘This is your reward. Your endeavours are appreciated.’
Translation 1260
We Ourself have sent down this Quran to you [Prophet] in gradual revelation
Translation 1260
Await your Lord’s Judgement with patience; do not yield to any of these sinners or disbelievers
Translation 1260
remember the name of your Lord at dawn and in the evening
Translation 1260
