Yusuf Ali
Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even) mentioned?
Yusuf Ali
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.
Yusuf Ali
We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
Yusuf Ali
For the Rejecters we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire.
Yusuf Ali
As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,-
Yusuf Ali
A Fountain where the Devotees of Allah do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance.
Yusuf Ali
They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
Yusuf Ali
And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-
Yusuf Ali
(Saying),"We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.
Yusuf Ali
"We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
Yusuf Ali
But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy.
Yusuf Ali
And because they were patient and constant, He will reward them with a Garden and (garments of) silk.
Yusuf Ali
Reclining in the (Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun´s (excessive heat) nor (the moon´s) excessive cold.
Yusuf Ali
And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit), there, will hang low in humility.
Yusuf Ali
And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,-
Yusuf Ali
Crystal-clear, made of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).
Yusuf Ali
And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil,-
Yusuf Ali
A fountain there, called Salsabil.
Yusuf Ali
And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
Yusuf Ali
And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
