Indeed there has been a time for man, when even his name did not exist anywhere
Indeed We have created man from mixed semen; in order to test him – We therefore made him hearing, knowing
We have indeed shown him the way - whether he is grateful or ingrate
We have indeed kept prepared chains, and shackles and a blazing fire for the disbelievers
Indeed the virtuous will drink from a cup, containing a mixture of Kafoor
The Kafoor is a spring, from which the chosen bondmen of Allah will drink, causing it to flow wherever they wish inside their palaces
They fulfil their pledges, and fear a day the evil of which is widespread
And out of His love, they give food to the needy, the orphan and the prisoner
They say to them, “We give you food, only for the sake of Allah - we do not seek any reward or thanks from you.”
“Indeed we fear from our Lord a day which is extremely bitter, most severe.”
So Allah saved them from the evil of that day, and gave them freshness and joy
And gave them Paradise and silk clothes, as a reward for their patience
Reclining in it, upon thrones; they will not see the hot sunshine in it, nor the bitter cold
And its shade will cover them, and its fruit clusters brought down low for them
Rounds of silver cups and silver beakers, looking like glass, will be presented upon them
Glass made from silver, which the servers have filled up to the measure
And in Paradise they will be given to drink cups, filled with a mixture of ginger
Which is a spring in Paradise called Salsabeel
Immortal youths shall surround them, waiting upon them; when you see them, you would think they are scattered pearls
And when you look towards it, you will see serenity and a great kingdom
In it they adorn clothes of fine green silk and gold embroidery; and they are given silver bracelets to wear; and their Lord gave them pure wine to drink
It will be said to them, “This is your reward – indeed your efforts have been appreciated.”
Indeed We have sent down the Qur’an upon you, in stages
Therefore stay patient upon your Lord’s command, and do not listen to any of the sinners or ingrates among them
And remember the name of your Lord morning and evening
And prostrate for Him in a part of the night, and proclaim His purity into the long night
Indeed these people love what they have, the fleeting one, and have forsaken the immensely important day behind them
It is We Who created them, and strengthened their skeleton; and We can replace them with others like them, whenever We will
This is indeed an advice; so whoever wishes may take the path towards his Lord
And what will you wish, except if Allah wills; indeed Allah is All Knowing, Wise
He admits into His mercy, whomever He wills; and for the unjust He has kept prepared a painful punishment
