Medina31 VersePage 578

The Man

Has there not come over man a long period of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning (until he became a being worth mentioning) (a period that passed from his first creation as a single cell until his becoming a being worth mentioning-his birth)?

Surely We have created man from a combination of Nutfah (two cells). We will try him. Therefore We have made him a being that hears, sees.

Surely We have delivered him to a Way (leading to Allah). But either he becomes grateful (he wishes to reach Allah) or ungrateful (disbeliever) (he does not wish to reach Allah before death).

Surely We have prepared for the disbelievers chains and shackles and a blazing Fire.

Surely the Abrâr ones shall drink from the cups that have Kâfûr in it.

The servants of Allah cause that spring from which they drink to gush forth.

They fulfill their vow and fear the Day whose evil wide-spread (everywhere).

And they feed their most loved food to the needy, the orphan, and the captive.

We only feed you for the Countenance of Allah. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you.

Surely we fear our Lord on a Day that is hard, stressful, where the faces look horrible.

Yet Allah guarded them from the evil of such Day and delivered them to a bright face and joy.

And due to their patience He rewarded them with heaven and silk clothes.

They recline on thrones there. They see in there neither (the excessive heat of) the sun nor the biting cold.

And its (trees’) shade is close upon them and its fruits are brought closer ready for their command.

And they go around them with cups of silver and goblets of crystal.

Silver goblets that their amounts are determined.

And therein they shall be served goblets that have ginger in them.

There is a spring therein which is named Salsabil.

And young men who never age go around them. When you see them, you think they are scattered pearls.

And when you look, you become the one who had seen blessings, a great commodity and a great kingdom in there.

On them are garments of fine green silk and embroiled satin. They are adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord offered them pure (delicious) drinks (wines).

Surely this became your reward. And your striving found to be worthy of being thanked (be appreciated).

Surely We, We have sent down the Qur’ân to you by stages (verse by verse).

Therefore bear patient for the Judgment of your Lord. Do not obey from among them who are disbeliever or sinners.

And remember (repeat) the Name of your Lord day and night.

And during part of a night, prostrate yourself to Him and glorify Him for the longest during a night.

Surely they love the fleeting (life of this world). They put the heavy, difficult Day behind them (they do not consider it important).

It is We who created them and made firm their ties. And when We want, We replace them with others like them.

Surely this is an advice. So whoever wills takes a Way to his Lord.

And you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Surely Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise (the owner of wisdom and judgment).

He makes whom He wills to enter into His Mercy. And the wrong-doers, He has prepared for them a painful torment.
