| 1. * | Is it not a fact that there was a time when the human being was nothing to be mentioned? |
| 2. * | We created the human from a liquid mixture, from two parents, in order to test him. Thus, we made him a hearer and a seer. |
| 3. * | We showed him the two paths, then he is either appreciative, or unappreciative. |
| 4. * | We prepared for the disbelievers chains, shackles, and a blazing Hell. |
| 5. * | As for the virtuous, they will drink from cups spiced with nectar. |
| 6. * | A spring that is reserved for GOD's servants; it will gush out as they will. |
| 7. * | They fulfill their pledges, and reverence a day that is extremely difficult. |
| 8. * | They donate their favorite food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive. |
| 9. * | "We feed you for the sake of GOD; we expect no reward from you, nor thanks. |
| 10. * | "We fear from our Lord a day that is full of misery and trouble." |
| 11. * | Consequently, GOD protects them from the evils of that day, and rewards them with joy and contentment. |
| 12. * | He rewards them for their steadfastness with Paradise, and silk. |
| 13. * | They relax therein on luxurious furnishings. They suffer neither the heat of the sun, nor any cold. |
| 14. * | The shade covers them therein, and the fruits are brought within reach. |
| 15. * | They are served drinks in silver containers and cups that are translucent. |
| 16. * | Translucent cups, though made of silver; they rightly deserved all this. |
| 17. * | They enjoy drinks of delicious flavors. |
| 18. * | From a spring therein known as "Salsabeel." |
| 19. * | Serving them will be immortal servants. When you see them, they will look like scattered pearls. |
| 20. * | Wherever you look, you will see bliss, and a wonderful dominion. |
| 21. * | On them will be clothes of green velvet, satin, and silver ornaments. Their Lord will provide them with pure drinks. |
| 22. * | This is the reward that awaits you, for your efforts have been appreciated. |
| 23. * | We have revealed to you this Quran; a special revelation from us. |
| 24. * | You shall steadfastly carry out your Lord's commandments, and do not obey any sinful disbeliever among them. |
| 25. * | And commemorate the name of your Lord day and night. |
| 26. * | During the night, fall prostrate before Him, and glorify Him many a long night. |
| 27. * | These people are preoccupied with this fleeting life, while disregarding - just ahead of them - a heavy day. |
| 28. * | We created them, and established them, and, whenever we will, we can substitute others in their place. |
| 29. * | This is a reminder: whoever wills shall choose the path to his Lord. |
| 30. * | Whatever you will is in accordance with GOD's will. GOD is Omniscient, Wise. |
| 31. * | He admits whomever He wills into His mercy. As for the transgressors, He has prepared for them a painful retribution. |
