sarwar
 
1.  *     There was certainly a time when there was no mention of the human being.
 
2.  *     We created the human being from the union of sperm and egg to test him. We gave him hearing and vision.
 
3.  *     We showed him the right path whether he would be grateful or ungrateful.
 
4.  *     We have prepared chains, shackles, and flaming fire (for the disbelievers).
 
5.  *     The virtuous ones will drink from a cup containing camphor
 
6.  *     which flows from a spring from which the servants of God will drink.
 
7.  *     The servants of God fulfill their vows and are afraid of the day in which there will be widespread terror.
 
8.  *     They feed the destitute, orphans, and captives for the love of God, saying,
 
9.  *     "We only feed you for the sake of God and we do not want any reward or thanks from you.
 
10.  *     We are afraid of our Lord and the bitterly distressful day".
 
11.  *     God will certainly rescue them from the terror of that day and will meet them with joy and pleasure.
 
12.  *     For their patience, He will reward them with Paradise and silk.
 
13.  *     They will recline therein on couches and they will find neither excessive heat nor cold.
 
14.  *     The shades of the garden will be closely spread over them and it will be easy for them to reach the fruits.
 
15.  *     They will be served with silver dishes and crystal clear goblets.
 
16.  *     Also there will be crystal clear goblets of silver containing the exact measure of drink which they desire.
 
17.  *     They will drink cups containing (soft flowing) sparkling water
 
18.  *     from a spring named salsabil.
 
19.  *     They will be served by immortal youths who look like scattered pearls.
 
20.  *     If you were to see it, you would find it to be a great kingdom with great bounty.
 
21.  *     They will have fine green silk and brocade, and they will be decked with bracelets of silver. Their Lord will provide them with a drink of pure wine.
 
22.  *     This will be their reward and their efforts will be appreciated.
 
23.  *     (Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps.
 
24.  *     So wait patiently for the command of your Lord and do not yield to any sinful or disbelieving person among them (people).
 
25.  *     Mention the Name of your Lord, mornings and evenings.
 
26.  *     Prostrate before Him and glorify Him extensively during the night.
 
27.  *     These people (disbelievers) love the worldly life and neglect the terrifying day which will come.
 
28.  *     We have created them and have given them strength. Had We wanted, We could have replaced them with another people like them.
 
29.  *     This chapter is a reminder. Let those who want, seek guidance from their Lord.
 
30.  *     (The virtuous mentioned in this chapter) want only what God wants. God is All-knowing and All-wise.
 
31.  *     He admits to His mercy whomever He wants. For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment.
