Text:Sura al-Insan

From wikishia

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Has there been for man a period of time when he was not anything worthy of mention? (1) هَلْ أَتَیٰ عَلَی الْإِنسَانِ حِینٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ یكُن شَیئًا مَّذْكُورًا ﴿۱﴾
Indeed We created man from the drop of a mixed fluid so that We may test him. So We made him endowed with hearing and sight (2) إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَّبْتَلِیهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِیعًا بَصِیرًا ﴿۲﴾
Indeed We have guided him to the way, be he grateful or ungrateful (3) إِنَّا هَدَینَاهُ السَّبِیلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًاوَإِمَّا كَفُورًا ﴿۳﴾
Indeed We have prepared for the faithless chains, iron collars, and a blaze (4) إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِینَ سَلَاسِلَ وَأَغْلَالًا وَ سَعِیرًا ﴿۴﴾
Indeed the pious will drink from a cup seasoned with Kafour, (5) إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ یشْرَبُونَ مِن كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا ﴿۵﴾
a spring where the servants of Allah drink, which they make to gush forth as they please (6) عَینًا یشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللَّـهِ یفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْجِیرًا ﴿۶﴾
They fulfill their vows and fear a day whose ill will be widespread (7) یوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَ یخَافُونَ یوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِیرًا ﴿۷﴾
They give food, for the love of Him, to the needy, the orphan and the prisoner, (8) وَ یطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَیٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِینًا وَ یتِیمًا وَأَسِیرًا ﴿۸﴾
[saying,] " We feed you only for the sake of Allah. We do not want any reward from you nor any thanks (9) إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّـهِ لانُرِیدُ مِنكُمْ جَزَاءً وَلَا شُكُورًا ﴿۹﴾
Indeed we fear from our Lord a day, frowning and fateful." (10) إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا یوْمًا عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِیرًا ﴿۱۰﴾
So Allah saved them from the ills of that day, and granted them freshness and joy (11) فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّـهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ الْیوْمِ وَ لَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَ سُرُورًا ﴿۱۱﴾
And He rewarded them for their patience with a garden and [garments of] silk, (12) وَ جَزَاهُم بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَ حَرِیرًا ﴿۱۲﴾
reclining therein on couches. They will find in it neither any [scorching] sun, nor any [biting] cold (13) مُّتَّكِئِینَ فِیهَا عَلَی الْأَرَائِكِ ۖ لایرَوْنَ فِیهَا شَمْسًا وَ لَا زَمْهَرِیرًا ﴿۱۳﴾
Its shades will be close over them and its clusters] of fruits [will be hanging low (14) وَ دَانِیةً عَلَیهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا وَ ذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِیلًا ﴿۱۴﴾
They will be served around with vessels of silver and goblets of crystal (15) وَ یطَافُ عَلَیهِم بِآنِیةٍ مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ كَانَتْ قَوَارِیرَا ﴿۱۵﴾
crystal of silver] from [which they dispense in a precise measure (16) قَوَارِیرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِیرًا ﴿۱۶﴾
They will be served therein with a cup of a drink seasoned with Zanjabil, (17) وَ یُسْقَوْنَ فِیهَا كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِیلًا ﴿۱۷﴾
a spring in it, named Salsabil.) (18) عَینًا فِیهَا تُسَمَّیٰ سَلْسَبِیلًا ﴿۱۸﴾
They will be waited upon by immortal youths, whom, when you see them, you will suppose them to be scattered pearls (19) وَ یطُوفُ عَلَیهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَیتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَّنثُورًا ﴿۱۹﴾
As you look, you will see there bliss and a great kingdom (20) وَإِذَا رَأَیتَ ثَمَّ رَأَیتَ نَعِیمًا وَ مُلْكًا كَبِیرًا ﴿۲۰﴾
Upon 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 (21) عَالِیهُمْ ثِیابُ سُندُسٍ خُضْرٌ وَ إِسْتَبْرَقٌ ۖ وَ حُلُّوا أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ وَ سَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَرَابًا طَهُورًا ﴿۲۱﴾
[They will be told]:" This is indeed your reward, and your endeavour has been well-appreciated." (22) إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمْ جَزَاءً وَ كَانَ سَعْیكُم مَّشْكُورًا ﴿۲۲﴾
Indeed We have sent down to you the Qur'an in a gradual descent (23) إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَیكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنزِیلًا ﴿۲۳﴾
So submit patiently to the judgement of your Lord, and do not obey any sinner or ingrate among them, (24) فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا ﴿۲۴﴾
and celebrate the Name of your Lord morning and evening, (25) وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِیلًا ﴿۲۵﴾
and worship Him for a watch of the night and glorify Him the night long (26) وَ مِنَ اللَّـیلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَیلًا طَوِیلًا ﴿۲۶﴾
Indeed they love this transitory life, and disregard a weighty day ahead of them (27) إِنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ یحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَ یذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ یوْمًا ثَقِیلًا ﴿۲۷﴾
We created them and made their joints firm, and whenever We like We will replace them with others like them (28) نَّحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَ شَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَ إِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِیلًا ﴿۲۸﴾
This is indeed a reminder. So let anyone who wishes take the way toward his Lord. (29) إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَیٰ رَ بِّهِ سَبِیلًا ﴿۲۹﴾
But you do not wish unless it is wished by Allah. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise. (30) وَ مَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن یشَاءَ اللَّـهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ كَانَ عَلِیمًا حَكِیمًا ﴿۳۰﴾
He admits whomever He wishes into His mercy, and as for the wrongdoers, He has prepared for them a painful punishment. (31)[1] یدْخِلُ مَن یشَاءُ فِی رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَ الظَّالِمِینَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِیمًا ﴿۳۱﴾
