Surah Al-Insaan

هَلْ اَتٰي عَلَي الْاِنْسَانِ حِيْنٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْـًٔا مَّذْكُوْرًا ۝١

1Has there been a period of time for man when he was not anything worthy of mention?

اِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ اَمْشَاجٍࣗۖ نَّبْتَلِيْهِ فَجَعَلْنٰهُ سَمِيْعًاۢ بَصِيْرًا ۝٢

2Indeed We created man from the drop of a mixed fluid so that We may put him to test, so We endowed with hearing and sight.

اِنَّا هَدَيْنٰهُ السَّبِيْلَ اِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَّاِمَّا كَفُوْرًا ۝٣

3Indeed We have guided him to the way, be he grateful or ungrateful.

اِنَّا͏ٓ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ سَلٰسِلَا۟ وَاَغْلٰلًا وَّسَعِيْرًا ۝٤

4Indeed for the faithless We have prepared chains, iron collars, and a blaze.

اِنَّ الْاَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُوْنَ مِنْ كَاْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُوْرًا ۝٥ۚ

5Indeed the pious will drink from a cup seasoned with Kafur,

عَيْنًا يَّشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللّٰهِ يُفَجِّرُوْنَهَا تَفْجِيْرًا ۝٦

6a spring where Allah’s servants will drink, making it gush forth as they please.

يُوْفُوْنَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُوْنَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهٗ مُسْتَطِيْرًا ۝٧

7They fulfill their vows and fear a day whose ill will be widespread.

وَيُطْعِمُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ عَلٰي حُبِّهٖ مِسْكِيْنًا وَّيَتِيْمًا وَّاَسِيْرًا ۝٨

8For the love of Him, they feed the needy, the orphan and the prisoner,

اِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللّٰهِ لَا نُرِيْدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَا࢜ءً وَّلَا شُكُوْرًا ۝٩

9[saying,] ‘We feed you only for the sake of Allah. We desire no reward from you, nor thanks.

اِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَّبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوْسًا قَمْطَرِيْرًا ۝١٠

10Indeed we fear a frowning and fateful day from our Lord.’

فَوَقٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ شَرَّ ذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقّٰىهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَّسُرُوْرًا ۝١١ۚ

11So Allah saved them from that day’s ills and graced them with freshness [on this faces] and joy [in their hearts].

وَجَزٰىهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا جَنَّةً وَّحَرِيْرًا ۝١٢ۙ

12He rewarded them for their patience with a garden and [garments of] silk,

مُّتَّكِـِٕيْنَ فِيْهَا عَلَي الْاَرَا࢜ىِٕكِۚ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيْهَا شَمْسًا وَّلَا زَمْهَرِيْرًا ۝١٣ۚ

13reclining therein on couches, without facing any [scorching] sun, or [biting] cold.

وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوْفُهَا تَذْلِيْلًا ۝١٤

14Its shades will be close over them and its clusters [of fruits] will be hanging low.

وَيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِاٰنِيَةٍ مِّنْ فِضَّةٍ وَّاَكْوَابٍ كَانَتْ قَوَارِيْرَا۟ؔ ۝١٥ۙ

15They will be served around with vessels of silver and goblets of crystal

قَوَارِيْرَا۟ؔ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوْهَا تَقْدِيْرًا ۝١٦

16—crystal of silver— [from] which they will dispense in a precise measure.

وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيْهَا كَاْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنْجَبِيْلًا ۝١٧ۚ

17They will be served therein with a cup of a drink seasoned with Zanjabeel,

عَيْنًا فِيْهَا تُسَمّٰي سَلْسَبِيْلًا ۝١٨

18from a spring in it named Salsabeel.

وَيَطُوْفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُوْنَۚ اِذَا رَاَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُو͏ٔ͏ْلُو͏ٔ͏ًا مَّنْثُوْرًا ۝١٩

19They will be waited upon by immortal youths, whom, were you to see them, you will suppose them to be scattered pearls.

وَاِذَا رَاَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَاَيْتَ نَعِيْمًا وَّمُلْكًا كَبِيْرًا ۝٢٠

20As you look on, you will see there bliss and a great kingdom.

عٰلِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُنْدُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَّاِسْتَبْرَقٌؗ وَّحُلُّوْٓا اَسَاوِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍۚ وَسَقٰىهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُوْرًا ۝٢١

21Upon 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.

اِنَّ هٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَا࢜ءً وَّكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَّشْكُوْرًا ۝٢٢ࣖ

22[They will be told]: ‘This is your reward, and your efforts have been well-appreciated.’

اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْاٰنَ تَنْزِيْلًا ۝٢٣ۚ

23Indeed We have sent down to you the Quran in a gradual descent.

فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ اٰثِمًا اَوْ كَفُوْرًا ۝٢٤ۚ

24So submit patiently to the judgement of your Lord and do not obey any sinner or ingrate from among them,

وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَّاَصِيْلًا ۝٢٥ۖۚ

25and celebrate the Name of your Lord morning and evening,

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهٗ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيْلًا ۝٢٦

26and worship Him for a watch of the night and glorify Him the night long.

اِنَّ هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ يُحِبُّوْنَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُوْنَ وَرَا࢜ءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيْلًا ۝٢٧

27Indeed they love this transitory life, and disregard a heavy day that is ahead of them.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنٰهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا͏ٓ اَسْرَهُمْۚ وَاِذَا شِي͏ٔ͏ْنَا بَدَّلْنَا͏ٓ اَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيْلًا ۝٢٨

28We created them and strengthened their joints, and We will replace them with others like them whenever We like.

اِنَّ هٰذِهٖ تَذْكِرَةٌۚ فَمَنْ شَا࢜ءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰي رَبِّهٖ سَبِيْلًا ۝٢٩

29This is indeed a reminder. So let anyone who wishes take the way toward his Lord.

وَمَا تَشَا࢜ءُوْنَ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَنْ يَّشَا࢜ءَ اللّٰهُؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا ۝٣٠ࣗۖ

30But you will not wish unless it is willed by Allah. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.

يُّدْخِلُ مَنْ يَّشَا࢜ءُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖؕ وَالظّٰلِمِيْنَ اَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا ۝٣١ࣖ

31He admits whomever He wishes into His mercy, and He has prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers.
