| 1. * | Did there not pass over man a long space of time; during which he was a thing not worthy of remembrance? |
| 2. * | Verily we have created man of the mingled seed of both sexes, that We might prove him: And We have made him to hear and to see. |
| 3. * | We have surely directed him in the way; whether he be grateful, or ungrateful. |
| 4. * | Verily we have prepared for the unbelievers chains, and collars, and burning fire. |
| 5. * | But the just shall drink of a cup of wine, mixed with the water of Cafur, |
| 6. * | a fountain whereof the servants of God shall drink; they shall convey the same by channels whithersoever they please. |
| 7. * | These fulfil their vow, and dread the day, the evil whereof will disperse itself far abroad; |
| 8. * | and give food unto the poor, and the orphan, and the bondman, for his sake, |
| 9. * | saying, we feed you for God's sake only: We desire no recompense from you, nor any thanks: |
| 10. * | Verily we dread, from our Lord, a dismal and calamitous day. |
| 11. * | Wherefore God shall deliver them from the evil of that day, and shall cast on them brightness of countenance, and joy; |
| 12. * | and shall reward them, for their patient persevering, with a garden, and silk garments: |
| 13. * | Therein shall they repose themselves on couches; they shall see therein neither sun nor moon; |
| 14. * | and the shades thereof shall be near spreading above them, and the fruits thereof shall hang low, so as to be easily gathered. |
| 15. * | And their attendants shall go round about unto them, with vessels of silver, and goblets: |
| 16. * | The bottles shall be bottles of silver shining like glass; they shall determine the measure thereof by their wish. |
| 17. * | And therein shall they be given to drink of a cup of wine, mixed with the water of Zenjebil, |
| 18. * | a fountain in paradise named Salsabil: |
| 19. * | And youths, which shall continue for ever in their bloom, shall go round to attend them; when thou seest them, thou shalt think them to be scattered pearls: |
| 20. * | And when thou lookest, there shalt thou behold delights, and a great kingdom. |
| 21. * | Upon them shall be garments of fine green silk, and of brocades, and they shall be adorned with bracelets of silver: And their Lord shall give them to drink of a most pure liquor; |
| 22. * | and shall say unto them, verily this is your reward: And your endeavour is gratefully accepted. |
| 23. * | Verily We have sent down unto thee the Koran, by a gradual revelation. |
| 24. * | Wherefore patiently wait the judgement of thy Lord; and obey not any wicked person or unbeliever among them. |
| 25. * | And commemorate the name of thy Lord, in the morning, and in the evening: |
| 26. * | And during some part of the night worship Him, and praise Him a long part of the night. |
| 27. * | Verily these men love the transitory life, and leave behind them the heavy day of judgement. |
| 28. * | We have created them, and have strengthened their joints; and when We please, We will substitute others like unto them, in their stead. |
| 29. * | Verily this is an admonition: And whoso willeth, taketh the way unto his Lord: |
| 30. * | But ye shall not will, unless God willeth; for God is knowing, and wise. |
| 31. * | He leadeth whom He pleaseth into his mercy: But for the unjust hath He prepared a grievous punishment. |
