| Surah 76. Ad-Dahr | |||
| 1 | Hath there come Upon man ( ever ) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered? | ||
| 2 | Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing. | ||
| 3 | Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving. | ||
| 4 | Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire. | ||
| 5 | Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of water of Kafur, | ||
| 6 | A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly, | ||
| 7 | Because they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide spreading, | ||
| 8 | And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him, | ||
| 9 | ( Saying ): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you; | ||
| 10 | Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate. | ||
| 11 | Therefor Allah hath warded from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy; | ||
| 12 | And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire; | ||
| 13 | Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither ( heat of ) a sun nor bitter cold. | ||
| 14 | The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down. | ||
| 15 | Goblets of silver are brought round for them, and beakers ( as ) of glass | ||
| 16 | ( Bright as ) glass but ( made ) of silver, which they ( themselves ) have measured to the measure ( of their deeds ). | ||
| 17 | There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil, | ||
| 18 | The water of a spring therein, named Salsabil. | ||
| 19 | There serve them youths of everlasting youth, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls. | ||
| 20 | When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate. | ||
| 21 | Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink. | ||
| 22 | ( And it will be said unto them ): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour ( upon earth ) hath found acceptance. | ||
| 23 | Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur’an, a revelation; | ||
| 24 | So submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever. | ||
| 25 | Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening. | ||
| 26 | And worship Him ( a portion ) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night. | ||
| 27 | Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them ( the remembrance of ) a grievous day. | ||
| 28 | We, even We, created them, and strengthened thee frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead. | ||
| 29 | Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord. | ||
| 30 | Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise. | ||
| 31 | He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil doers hath prepared a painful doom. | ||
