1.  *     Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered?
 
2.  *     Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing.
 
3.  *     Lo! We have shown him the way, whether he be grateful or disbelieving.
 
4.  *     Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers manacles and carcans and a raging fire.
 
5.  *     Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur,
 
6.  *     A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly,
 
7.  *     (Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide-spreading,
 
8.  *     And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him,
 
9.  *     (Saying): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you;
 
10.  *     Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.
 
11.  *     Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy;
 
12.  *     And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire;
 
13.  *     Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold.
 
14.  *     The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down.
 
15.  *     Goblets of silver are brought round for them, and beakers (as) of glass
 
16.  *     (Bright as) glass but (made) of silver, which they (themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds).
 
17.  *     There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil,
 
18.  *     (The water of) a spring therein, named Salsabil.
 
19.  *     There wait on them immortal youths, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls.
 
20.  *     When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate.
 
21.  *     Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink.
 
22.  *     (And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance.
 
23.  *     Lo! We, even We, have revealed unto thee the Qur'an, a revelation;
 
24.  *     So submit patiently to thy Lord's command, and obey not of them any guilty one or disbeliever.
 
25.  *     Remember the name of thy Lord at morn and evening.
 
26.  *     And worship Him (a portion) of the night. And glorify Him through the livelong night.
 
27.  *     Lo! these love fleeting life, and put behind them (the remembrance of) a grievous day.
 
28.  *     We, even We, created them, and strengthened their frame. And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them in their stead.
 
29.  *     Lo! this is an Admonishment, that whosoever will may choose a way unto his Lord.
 
30.  *     Yet ye will not, unless Allah willeth. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.
 
31.  *     He maketh whom He will to enter His mercy, and for evil-doers hath prepared a painful doom.
