1.  *     Surely there came over man a time when he was nothing that could be mentioned.
 
2.  *     Surely We have created man from sperm mixed (with ovum), to try him, so We have made him hearing, seeing.
 
3.  *     We have truly shown him the way; he may be thankful or unthankful.
 
4.  *     Surely We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a burning Fire.
 
5.  *     The righteous truly drink of a cup tempered with camphor --
 
6.  *     A fountain from which the servants of Allah drink, making it flow in abundance.
 
7.  *     They fulfil vows and fear a day, the evil of which is widespread.
 
8.  *     And they give food, out of love for Him, to the poor and the orphan and the captive.
 
9.  *     We fed you, for Allah’s pleasure only -- We desire from you neither reward nor thanks.
 
10.  *     Surely we fear from our Lord a stern, distressful day.
 
11.  *     So Allah will ward off from them the evil of that day, and cause them to meet with spendour and happiness;
 
12.  *     And reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and with silk,
 
13.  *     Reclining therein on raised couches; they will see therein neither (excessive heat of) sun nor intense cold.
 
14.  *     And close down upon them are its shadows, and its fruits are made near (to them), easy to reach.
 
15.  *     And round about them are made to go vessels of silver and goblets of glass,
 
16.  *     Crystal-clear, made of silver -- they have measured them according to a measure.
 
17.  *     And they are made to drink therein a cup tempered with ginger --
 
18.  *     (Of) a fountains therein called Salsabil.
 
19.  *     And round about them will go youths, never altering in age; when thou seest them thou wilt think them to be scattered pearls.
 
20.  *     And when thou lookest thither, thou seest blessings and a great kingdom.
 
21.  *     On them are garments of fine green silk and thick brocade, and they are adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord makes them to drink a pure drink.
 
22.  *     Surely this is a reward for you, and your striving is recompensed.
 
23.  *     Surely We have revealed the Qur’an to thee, in portions.
 
24.  *     So wait patiently for the judgment of thy Lord, and obey not a sinner or an ungrateful one among them.
 
25.  *     And glorify the name of thy Lord morning and evening.
 
26.  *     And during part of the night adore Him, and glorify Him throughout a long night.
 
27.  *     Surely these love the transitory life and neglect a grievous day before them.
 
28.  *     We created them and made firm their make, and, when We will, We can bring in their place the like of them by change.
 
29.  *     Surely this is a Reminder; so whoever will, let him take a way to his Lord.
 
30.  *     And you will not, unless Allah pleases. Surely Allah is ever Knowing, Wise --
 
31.  *     He admits whom He pleases to His mercy; and the wrongdoers -- He has prepared for them a painful chastisement.
