Al-Insan

Al-Qiyamat
{20} كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ

Nay, (ye men!) But ye love the fleeting life,
{21} وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ

And leave alone the Hereafter.
{22} وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ

Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);
{23} إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ

Looking towards their Lord;
{24} وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَاسِرَةٌ

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
{25} تَظُنُّ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

In the thought that some backbreaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
{38} ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّى

Then did he become a clinging clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
{39} فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَى

And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
{40} أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى

Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
{32} وَلَكِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى

But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
{33} ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ يَتَمَطَّى

Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
{34} أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى

Woe to thee, (O man!), yea, woe!
{35} ثُمَّ أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى

Again, woe to thee, (O man!), yea, woe!
{36} أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ سُدًى

Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
{37} أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَى

Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
{26} كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَ

Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
{27} وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ

And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
{28} وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ

And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
{29} وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِ

And one leg will be joined with another:
{30} إِلَى رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْمَسَاقُ

That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
{31} فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!

Al-Insan
{1} هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا

Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing, (not even) mentioned?
{2} إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا

Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: so We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
{3} إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
{4} إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ سَلَاسِلَا وَأَغْلَالًا وَسَعِيرًا

For the Rejecters We have prepared Chains, Yokes, and a Blazing Fire.
{5} إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا

As to the Righteous. They shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,

They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
{8} وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا

And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,
{9} إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا

(Saying), "We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.
{10} إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا

"We only fear a Day, of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
{11} فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُورًا

But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and a (blissful) Joy.

And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): if thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
{20} وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا

And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
{21} عَالِيَهُمْ ثِيَابُ سُنْدُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٌ وَحُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَسَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا

Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine pure and Holy.
{22} إِنَّ هَذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَكَانَ سَعْيُكُمْ مَشْكُورًا

"Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised."

Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold.
{14} وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا

And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility.

And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through.
