y_ali_2
 
1.  *     Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even) mentioned?
 
2.  *     Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
 
3.  *     We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
 
4.  *     For the Rejecters we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire.
 
5.  *     As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,-
 
6.  *     A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance.
 
7.  *     They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
 
8.  *     And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-
 
9.  *     (Saying),"We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.
 
10.  *     "We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
 
11.  *     But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy.
 
12.  *     And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk.
 
13.  *     Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's (excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold.
 
14.  *     And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility.
 
15.  *     And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,-
 
16.  *     Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).
 
17.  *     And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil,-
 
18.  *     A fountain there, called Salsabil.
 
19.  *     And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
 
20.  *     And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
 
21.  *     Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy.
 
22.  *     "Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised."
 
23.  *     It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages.
 
24.  *     Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them.
 
25.  *     And celebrate the name or thy Lord morning and evening,
 
26.  *     And part of the night, prostrate thyself to Him; and glorify Him a long night through.
 
27.  *     As to these, they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will be) hard.
 
28.  *     It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change.
 
29.  *     This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord.
 
30.  *     But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
 
31.  *     He will admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He prepared a grievous Penalty.
