سورةالانسان {٧٦} 76. AL-INSAAN
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا {١} 1. There was certainly a time when there was no mention of the human being.
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا {٢} 2. We created the human being from the union of sperm and egg to test him. We gave him hearing and vision.
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا {٣} 3. We showed him the right path whether he would be grateful or ungrateful.
إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا {٤} 4. We have prepared chains, shackles, and flaming fire (for the disbelievers).
إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا {٥} 5. The virtuous ones will drink from a cup containing camphor
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِيرًا {٦} 6. which flows from a spring from which the servants of God will drink.
يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا {٧} 7. The servants of God fulfill their vows and are afraid of the day in which there will be widespread terror.
وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا {٨} 8. They feed the destitute, orphans, and captives for the love of God, saying,
إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا {٩} 9. "We only feed you for the sake of God and we do not want any reward or thanks from you.
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا {١٠} 10. We are afraid of our Lord and the bitterly distressful day".
فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا {١١} 11. God will certainly rescue them from the terror of that day and will meet them with joy and pleasure.
وَجَزَاهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَرِيرًا {١٢} 12. For their patience, He will reward them with Paradise and silk.
مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۖ لَا يَرَوْنَ فِيهَا شَمْسًا وَلَا زَمْهَرِيرًا {١٣} 13. They will recline therein on couches and they will find neither excessive heat nor cold.
وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا {١٤} 14. The shades of the garden will be closely spread over them and it will be easy for them to reach the fruits.
وَيُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِآنِيَةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ كَانَتْ قَوَارِيرَا {١٥} 15. They will be served with silver dishes and crystal clear goblets.
قَوَارِيرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِيرًا {١٦} 16. Also there will be crystal clear goblets of silver containing the exact measure of drink which they desire.
وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنْجَبِيلًا {١٧} 17. They will drink cups containing (soft flowing) sparkling water
عَيْنًا فِيهَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلْسَبِيلًا {١٨} 18. from a spring named salsabil.
وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَنْثُورًا {١٩} 19. They will be served by immortal youths who look like scattered pearls.

عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُنْدُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا {٢١} 21. They will have fine green silk and brocade, and they will be decked with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will provide them with a drink of pure wine.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَشْكُورًا {٢٢} 22. This will be their reward and their efforts will be appreciated.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلًا {٢٣} 23. (Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps.
فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا {٢٤} 24. So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people).

إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا {٢٧} 27. These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come.
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا {٢٨} 28. We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them.
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا {٢٩} 29. This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord.
